Luo: Govt Will Not Be Forced To Gazzette Henry Sosala as Chief Chitimukulu

Sosala
Chiefs and Traditional Affairs Minister Nkandu Luo says government will not be forced to Gazzette Henry Kanyatta Sosala as Paramount Chief Chitimukulu of the Bemba speaking people.
Professor Luo told Parliament today in response to a question by Lubansenshi member of parliament Patrick Mucheleka who wanted to know why government has not recognized the newly installed Paramount Chief Chitimukulu.
Professor Luo says she will not dance to the tune of the media or the public with regards the Gazetting of the new Chitimukulu who she referred to as gentleman.
She says gazzeting of Chiefs is not automatic.
She adds that as Minister she will not act outside the law.
Professor Luo further stated that any Chief who has not been gazzetted by the President and is performing the functions of Chief is going against the law.

Henry is Chitimukulu…gazetted or not Henry still is Chitimukulu!!

There is something vengefully deeper but I believe too that for the Bashilubemba it’s final HKS is the new Chitimukulu! Whether gazetted or not PF government will pass and recognition will be accorded by the new government with benefits! The colonialists brought about gazetting so they could subvert the traditional systems of choosing chiefs and have desired puppets installed! In fact after choosing and installation of a chief government needs only to be informed, chapwa!

Luo Luo Luo. Just like Mike, you are too fast. Trying to become the royal aunty so that your kids can ascend to the throne. You dialled the wrong number! A goat is still a goat even if you cloak it in Leopard skin.

The bahsilubemba have picked their choice period! And if there is anything that the government is awaiting from the BRE, let the BRE put everything in place so the he can be gazetted mwebantu and we won’t have these excuses from the government! I think we are now going overboard by politicising chieftancy!

There is no need for Govt to play big boy with tradition. It will boomerang on them Government should not be antagonistic with its people.

This issue has arisen again. Govt please stop being too involved in determining who should be chiefs. Its retrogressive.
