ASPIRING Member of Parliament for Namwala, Hartley Lubuwa, has strongly endorsed the proposed delimitation of constituencies, citing it as a crucial step towards accelerated development in rural areas.
Speaking to Kalemba, Lubuwa emphasised that the proposed division of Namwala into two constituencies would significantly enhance service delivery and facilitate the equitable distribution of government resources.
He argued that the current size of the Namwala constituency hinders effective project implementation and access to the Constituency Development Fund (CDF).
“Dividing the constituency will allow for more focused development, easier access to CDF, and improved implementation of critical projects such as road upgrades, health posts, and school infrastructure,” Lubuwa stated. “This move will bring government resources closer to the people, addressing the long-standing developmental challenges faced by our community.”
The aspiring MP highlighted that the delimitation would enable more targeted interventions, ensuring that development initiatives are tailored to the specific needs of each newly formed constituency.
He stressed that this would lead to more efficient and effective utilisation of resources, ultimately benefiting the residents of Namwala.
Meanwhile, Lubuwa praised PF faction leader, Robert Chabinga for endorsing President Hakainde Hichilema for 2026.
“Chabinga’s endorsement is a testament to the president’s leadership and vision for the country,” Lubuwa said.
“He [President Hichilema] means well for the country, and he deserves support from all well-meaning Zambians. Similarly, the delimitation shows that the government is focused on bringing development to all regions.”
The delimitation proposal, currently under review, is expected to have significant implications for the political and developmental landscape of rural constituencies like Namwala.
Residents await further details on the implementation and potential benefits of the proposed changes.
