“I WILL KEEP SPEAKING FOR NORTH-WESTERN UNTIL I DIE” – SAMAKAYI

Former Mwinilunga lawmaker Samakayi says he will continue advocating for North-Western Province until his death, citing years of unfulfilled government promises and stalled development.

Speaking during a press briefing in Solwezi, Mr. Samakayi said residents of the province have been patient, loyal, and productive to the nation, but their patience has not translated into tangible development.

“The people of North-Western Province are disappointed with what has happened in the past 20 years. We host 3 big mines which are contributing immensely to the treasury of this country, but there is little to show, if any, in our Province,” he said.

He added that successive governments have failed to appreciate the province’s contribution, leaving youths and other residents affected by delayed projects and Development.

“We have only received nothing but promises of a university teaching hospital, Mutanda-Kasempa-Kaoma road, Solwezi-Kipushi road. These projects had their groundbreakings done but there has been no implementation,” Mr. Samakayi said.

The former MP said North-Western Province deserves to benefit directly from the investments currently operating within the region. If we talk about Kasenseli and Kikonge our youths are not benefiting as such .

“I will keep talking for North-Western Province until I die. And am receiving calls that am bittter, no am not a bitter person. I have not joined any Political Party, am  yet to make a decision.”he declared.
