DOREEN MWAMBA INSULTING ZAMBIANS, SAYS KATEKA
CHISHALA Kateka the New Heritage Party president says her fellow woman Doreen Mwamba, the Minister of Community Development and Social Services has insulted Zambians and the people who voted for the UPND by telling them not to have children if they are jobless.
Ms Mwamba has been quoted in the media saying jobless people were stressing Government and so they should not have children each time they were intimate as man and wife.
“In fact, ni nsele (insults). You cannot go into people’s bedrooms and start talking about what they do, that they should stop bearing children because the UPND have failed to feed them and to control the prices. That is totally unacceptable https://epaper.dailynationzambia.com/public/
If you can’t take care of the children why have them? The minister is right, it’s only that in Africa we don’t want to hear the truth. Why buy a car that you can’t afford to maintain. Don’t have kids that you can’t afford to look after.
I used to think Ms. Chishala Kateka was someone we could look up to for leadership in the country in the near future but it seems I was wrong. She is not different from people like Ms. Saboi Imboela and Ms. Edith Nawakwi in the way they think and behave. Maybe it’s just me but I have noticed that ever since she joined UKA, her statements don’t make sense at all. May it’s true what they say that bad company corrupts good morals and maybe that is the case with Ms. Kateka or maybe she was just pretending in the past.
Surely what is wrong with advising people not to have children if they can’t look after them? Should the government just keep watching people having children they can’t afford to look after and put the burden on government for assistance? Come on people, let’s be serious and not politicize everything.
