SATA Appoints Steven Masumba as North Western Minister

LUSAKA, Tuesday, November 13, 2012 – His Excellency Mr Michael Chilufya Sata, President of the Republic of Zambia, has appointed newly-elected Mufumbwe PF Member of Parliament Hon. Stephen Masumba as provincial minister for North-Western Province.

Hon. Masumba replaces Hon. Josephine Limataa, who has been transferred to Southern Province in the same capacity.

And President Sata has transferred Hon. John Kufuna from Southern Province to the Ministry of Local Government in the same capacity as deputy minister.

The President said he was confident that the three deputy ministers will satisfactorily discharge the functions of their respective offices both to his satisfaction and that of the Zambian people.

“As you execute your functions;be reminded that our people are the most important resource. Therefore, as leaders we should all strive and commit to meeting their essential needs, expanding the economy and creating jobs, curbing crime and corruption, and eventually transforming the state with fulfillment,” President Sata said.

“Transparency, national unity, equality before the law and placing the interests of the masses in the forefront should be our guiding principle if we are to achieve the total transformation of the country we fervently desire. I urge you all to work towards the attainment of these noble objectives.”

Meanwhile, the Head of State has appointed Mr. Trevor Kaunda as permanent secretary in the Ministry of Labour and Social Security.

The reshuffles are with immediate effect.

This is contained in a statement issued by Special Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations, George Chellah

    This must be very painful for pastor Mumba! To make the mattress wet,ooh sorry, to make matters worse all the members are contemplating to either join PF or upnd, meaning that abena Mumba will remain alone and his party will eventually assume the name of Nashala Neka Party!

    Now HH and NM should kneel down to Honourable Playboy Masumba whenever visiting NWP.
    Hahahahahha

  17. Vote HH 3216   November 13, 2012 at 3:46 pm

    Lets hope Hon. Masumba will change his behaviour and show some respect. Am sure its excitement of coming from poverty to minister. Humble urself before God otherwise u will come down. Remember that you were a Security Guard.

    • King Musula Wenu   November 13, 2012 at 4:31 pm

      @HH 3216, Now you think a security guard is not a human being who can become a minister? As long as you are a human being, you can become a minister, ok.
      Even your HH will become a president only if he reaches 1,200 years old.

  18. Progress   November 13, 2012 at 3:54 pm

    Above all congratulations Jean Kapata we wish you could be Local Government Minister indeed you are very practical nothing is happening there

    • King Musula Wenu   November 13, 2012 at 4:35 pm

      Yes, I concur with you Progress, Jean Kapata must be made a full cabinet minister. She is a very hard working woman indeed. By the way, where is Mumbi Phiri? I am missing her a lot in our political activities. These two women are great.

  22. Abakonzi   November 14, 2012 at 6:11 pm

    Anybody can be minister including Masumba but certain positions need strong character and this guy needs to learn that.Avoid compromised situations ukuchilisha kuti wachilisha but not ukumonekela sana.

  23. BAMUBILI   November 14, 2012 at 7:05 pm

    Progres,thank you for thinking like me.local government minister HON KABANSHI is just a rubber stamp,she is an office minister, it seems she dos’ent know her job description. if not checked the ministry will soon be full of maggorts.i just wonder what the President sees in her. JEAN KAPATA is fit for that position after all north western needs a ful cabinet minister.she is aggresive we need such people at local government..
