Former PF Council Chairperson, Katete District Council in Sinda, Mr Henry Banda said President Hichilema has done a lot for the people in communities and development is visible.
“From the onset , New Dawn Administration increased the CDF from K1.5 to K28.3
We are moving to join the ruling party because we are seeing changes happening in our constituencies. For the first time, we have acquired earth moving equipment as a constituency, and this means that we shall, for the first time, be able to build and maintain roads at any time.”said Mr Banda.
Some people in Sinda area, have decided to join the ruling party as a result of the visible improvements taking place in their area, which is an important political milestone highlighting the Party’s expansion.
The New Dawn Free education policy government is another critical factor that has triggered the defections because families in these areas are happy that they can take their children to school without any financial burden.
The free education policy has been especially beneficial for low-income families who can now ensure their children obtain a quality education without having to worry about paying tuition fees.
