Kalulushi member of Parliament Kampamba Mulenga says working with President Hakainde Hichilema was the right call in fostering development in her constituency.
Rightly so, the PF MP’s bold stand has paid off in her efforts to develop her constituency.
By any measure, Kalulushi is changing, not through political noise or empty promises but through tangible, on-the-ground development.
The PF MP has proven that leadership is about service, not slogans.
Her choice to work with President Hichilema’s government was not political surrender. It was a mature, patriotic decision rooted in results.
On Crown TV’s Spotlight, Ms. Mulenga laid out the evidence clearly; new schools, renovated clinics, youth training centres, and women’s empowerment initiatives, all funded through the expanded Constituency Development Fund (CDF).
While some opposition figures were busy politicising decentralisation policy, she was busy using it to transform Kalulushi.
The facts speak louder than the critics.
The CDF under President Hichilema has proven to be one of the most practical tools for grassroots development.
Funds now reach communities faster, procurement processes are cleaner, and citizens are finally seeing where their money goes.
For once, the conversation has shifted from “what Lusaka will do for us” to “what we are doing for ourselves.”
Ms. Mulenga’s words cut through the noise: “That’s what happens when leaders choose cooperation over confrontation.” And she’s right. The constant negativity from some PF MPs has done nothing for their constituencies.
While they drown in political bitterness, others like the Kalulushi law maker are delivering actual results.
Ms. Mulenga’s open commendation of President Hichilema’s leadership is not about party allegiance. It is about acknowledging performance.
Under President Hichilema’s decentralisation and accountability drive, local authorities now have both the resources and the mandate to deliver change.
For Kalulushi, that means classrooms where there were ruins, clinics that actually function, and youth being equipped with real, employable skills.
Ms. Mulenga’s challenge to her fellow opposition MPs was as clear as it was courageous, offer solutions, not slogans.
The people are tired of endless criticism; they want visible change.
She reminded everyone that her loyalty lies not with partisan camps but with the people who sent her to Parliament.
Her message is a wake-up call to every opposition MP still stuck in the politics of obstruction.
The country is moving forward with or without them. Cooperation doesn’t mean submission. It means prioritising national progress over political grudges.
As the 2026 elections approach, Ms. Mulenga’s stance is a powerful reminder that results are the best campaign message.
Kalulushi’s transformation stands as proof that when leaders work with government in good faith, development follows.
Her choice to side with progress is paying off, and Zambia is watching.
