Zambezi west erects a bridge on the Kashiji Kamuyembe river through the World Bank grant.
However, the bridge is not permanent but will help transport machinery for the construction of permanent structures in the floodplains.
The constituency is also one of the areas with the highest number of subsistence rice farmers in Zambia but due to lack of proper road network, the crop has mostly gone to waste or sold to neighboring Angola cheaply.
The Food reserve agency (FRA) has failed to buy rice from farmers in the area mainly due to lack of roads.
Every year, over 1,000 bags of rice go to waste in Zambezi west while the commodity is one of the most expensive in the district.
The Zambezi West is also home to crude oil reserves but again due to the poor road network, the government has been unable to open oil extraction companies in the area.

TEACHERS RUNNING AWAY FROM DUTY IN NORTHWESTERN PROVINCE
As the country commemorates the teachers day, it is important to note that schools in rural areas of northwestern province are still understaffed.
Despite the government recruiting 30,000 teachers recently, rural schools in the province are still understaffed mainly because the teachers are running away from duty due to poor accommodation.
It’s our hope that houses for teachers will be built in these rural areas, with clean water provided.
The area members of parliaments should ensure the teachers are provided decent accommodation for the good of the pupils.
Let us not wait for the central government only, utilize the constituency development funds (CDF)
It’s a shame that the some teachers in our province still sleep in thatched houses.

NORTHWESTERN PROVINCE PS BLAMES LACK OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE PROVINCE ON DISUNITY
North Western Provincial Permanent Secretary, Colonel Grandson Katambi has blamed the lack of development in the province on the disunity among chiefdoms.
Katambi who was speaking during the coronation ceremony of Chief Kalunga the fifth of the Luchazi speaking people in Kabompo yesterday, said the lack of oneness among chiefdoms and the people has slowed down development in the province.
He said the in-fights among chiefdoms have for a long time frustrated governments’ efforts to develop the province.
“When the government says they want to build a school in Kabompo, those in Zambezi will say bring it here, those in Kasempa will also say bring it here, don’t you know that we slowdown development by doing that? He asked. “We need to reconcile as a people and begin to work together.”
Katambi commended the Luchazi speaking people for the smooth installation of a new chief following the demise of Kalunga the fourth.
He has urged chiefdoms to reconcile and put their wrangles behind and focus on developing the province.
Katambi noted that almost every chiefdom in the province now has a trend of having succession wrangles after the death of a sitting chief describing it as an unfortunate thing which is hindering development.

CHIEF CHINYAMA BLAMED PF FOR THE SUCCESSION WRANGLES OF THE NDUNGU THRONE The traditional ruler of the Luvale speaking people last year before the general elections accused the Patriotic Front-PF government of involving themselves in the selection of the next Senior Chief Ndungu following the death of Chief Ndungu Ngundu Songe VIII. Chief Chinyama expressed displeasure that some senior patriotic front officials spearheaded the installation of Chief Lingoji alias Chinyama Ngundu on the Ndungu throne without the consent of the royal council. He claimed that, the PF government overlooked protocol, connived with some individuals and went ahead to even provide state security for Chinyama Ngundu who was installed as Chief Ndungu without his knowledge and that of the royal council in a bid to gain political mileage prior to the general elections. The Chief urged the Luvale people not to recognize Chinyama Ngundu who was until his coronation as Ndungu, a sub-chief Lingoji in Chavuma district, as their senior chief. A year later, Chinyama Ngundu who was the youngest to ever sit on the Ndungu throne has died, to become the shortest serving Ndungu in the 21st century. Chief Chinyama is now expected to spearhead the installation of a new Chief Ndungu before the end of this year. Meanwhile, the royal council is yet to issue a statement on the death of Chief Ndungu the ninth who passed away in Chavuma district. ©Northwestern Newspaper 2022

Police is reportedly investigating the source of this viral audio as they find it inciting hate and violence in Zambezi district which has been known for tribal conflicts in the recent past. ©️NorthWestern Newspaper 2021
