Addressing the people of Mugala area in Kamakonde ward, Hon Chiteme assured the people that despite his new status, he would never forget their support and plight.

“I want to thank you my people, you are the people that have made me to be what I am today [Minister].Without you the people of Nkana Constituency, I wouldn’t have become an area Member of Parliament, the President wouldn’t have appointed me as a Minister.

I also want to assure you that I will never forsake you. The ministry that His Excellency has entrusted me with is a busy one, but I will always find time to be here with you,” Hon Chiteme said.

The Minister donated K3,000 to the PTA board at Mugala Primary school for the rehabilitation of the floors in the 3 classrooms.

In Mindolo ward, the member of parliament with the area councillor inspected the construction of an ablution block at Selem market which is earmarked to be completed this week. The market has been operating without a public toilet.

The Minister later inspected Selem Primary School where he donated building materials last year. The visibly angry Chiteme castigated the contractor for the poor workmanship that he found, as works had not been done to his satisfaction. He ordered the contractor to redo the classroom floors.

“What is wrong with us Zambians, why can’t we perform when given a task, the works done here at Selem Primary are unacceptable,” Hon Chiteme asked.
