I accepted ministerial appointment because MMD is not in power-Chingimu

Filed under: Editor's Choice |

Lands Deputy Minister Danny Chingimbu has justified his accepting the ministerial appointment by President Michael.

Mr. Chingimbi says he accepted President Sata ‘s ministerial posting for the love he has for developing North-Western Province.

He  says he accepted the offer because the MMD were no longer in power and hence the province would remain behind if no one is part of government.

“ President Sata’s emphasis to develop North-Western Province motivated meto take up the opposition and that it would be easier to develop the province if he remains part of governance, “ he said.

It is for this reason that barely a week in the office, President Sata tasked the newly appointed Lands Deputy Minister to familiarize with issues of North- western province.

ZANIS reports that Mr. Chingimbu was speaking in Kasempa when he addressed heads of government department yesterday.

Mr. Chingimbu , who is MMD MP was appointed as Lands Deputy minister soon after President Sata sacked Mr. Elijah Muchima.

President Michael Sata recently revoked the appointment of Elijah Muchima as Deputy Minister of Lands, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection.

President Sata announced the revocation of the MMD Ikelen’i member of parliament and  he immediately appointed Kabompo East MMD Member of Parliament Danny Chingimbu

Imwe Bantu why are you wasting your time to harangue this guy?Unfortunately, this gentleman is not part of cabinet as a Deputy minister.So how is he going to manipulate cabinet decisions when the chap is out the box?The chap is just a chancer and he is now trying to justify his unreasonableness.

  24. Weird excuse. Being appointed as deputy minister does not mean to developed only the province where you come from. It’s the whole Zambia. He thinks he is a minister for only NWP. Opprtunist!

  25. You can develop an area even without being a Minister. Tell this one to the birds Mr Deputy Minister. Just say yopu were starving. Politics of the BELLY.

  26. Good leaders develop the whole country without thinking of the how people voted. It is the most stupid excuse to think that if you don’t vote for that Party then you won’t see development.

    • Right!! because everyone pays TAX. Be it VAT on goods we buy, fuel levy, PAYE etc. This tax is paid by everyone for funding development and social amenities: health,teachers and police,army etc. If development will be for Sata supporters then the Non SATA supporters or those whose areas are not being developed should stop paying tax.

  27. How does a functional ministry deputy minister develop the province he hails from? Does one have to be a minister for the government to develop the province he hails from? This speaks voulumes of the type of government we have!
