Women and youth in Kafue district have passed a vote of no confidence in their Member of Parliament, Mirriam Chonya, saying she has failed to deliver her campaign promises.

Hundreds of women matched to the district Commissioner’s office with a petition demanding that Ms. Chonya resigns within 48 hours as she has allegedly failed to foster development in the district.

Reading the statement on behalf of the group Patricia Banda cited the withdrawal of her participation from the on-going National Dialogue Forum without consulting them as electorates.

In receiving the petition, Kafue District Commissioner Joseph Kamana promised to deliver the petition to higher authorities for action.

Speaking at the same occasion Kafue Town Council Chairperson Brigadier General Moono Simakoloyi assured the people of Kafue that his office and that of District Commissioner will continue to work closely in order to foster development in the district.

Earlier Kafue for Development president, Mwenya Chama has called for an immediate resignation for the Kafue Member of Parliament saying it is shocking that she has withdrawn from the National Dialogue Forum when she was supposed to represent Kafue residents at the on-going deliberations.

And efforts to get a comment from the Kafue Parliamentarian proved futile as her phone went unanswered.
