President Michael Sata today met MMD members of parliament currently serving in Government.
The President’s Press Aide George Chellah in a statement released to QFM News says the rationale behind the meeting held at State House this morning was to discuss issues of development in their constituencies and how best they can collaborate with Government on such and other related matters.
Mr Chellah says it is President Sata’s considered view and passion that there must be serious joint efforts across party lines to consolidate the nation’s new developmental path and as such his doors remain open to all parliamentarians wishing to engage Government on issues concerning the areas and people they represent.
He says the Head of State reiterates his appreciation of the progressive and patriotic attitude exhibited by the MMD parliamentarians currently serving in Government.
Mr Chellah says President Sata regards the parliamentarians as forward-thinking allies in the struggle to achieve the development goals set by the Patriotic Front (PF), such as unlimited access to education and health for all, sustained economic growth, job creation, equal distribution of resources and rural development.
He says during the meeting, the parliamentarians pledged their loyalty and support to the PF Government under the guidance of President Sata in working towards developing the country.
The MMD members of parliament who attended the meeting were Keith Mukata [Chilanga], Richard Taima [Solwezi East], Josephine Limata [Luampa], Dr. Patrick Chikusu [Katuba], David Phiri [Mkaika],Nicholas Banda [Kapoche], Elijah Muchima [Mwinilunga West], Patrick Ngoma [Feira] and Forrie Tembo [Nyimba].
The meeting was also attended by newly elected Mufumbwe PF Member of Parliament Stephen Masumba who was accompanied by his campaign manager, and Mandevu PF Member of Parliament Jean Kapata.

Show them MCS how to govern the country.There are two politicians in zambia its KK and Sata. Bravo PF.
there is no problem to have an inclusive government. the problem may arise if the MMD MP’s start failing to give up checks and balances to the ruling party. also lets hope the president’s intention is truly for development and not for selfish motives of hooking up the opposition MP’s…….., its costly to the Zambian people to conduct by-elections.
viva King cobra show them.
