I am 100 per cent in charge of Kabushi Constituency, Bowman Lusambo has declared.
Speaking with Daily Revelation, Lusambo insisted that the development agenda being implemented in Kabushi is his brain child and he is in full control of all the eight councillors in the Constituency.
“I can confidently say that I am 100 per cent in control of Kabushi Constituency. That is undisputable,” Lusambo said. “We have always been formulating a five year development agenda for Kabushi and the work plan that is Kabushi was formulated by me and my eight councillors. The so called member of parliament in Kabushi is an imposed member of parliament, who has no development agenda for the Constituency.”
And Lusambo has charged that newly elected (UPND) Kabushi member of parliament Bernard Kanengo is a political nonentity.
“In fact, by engaging me in this interview, you are forcing me to talk about a nonentity. He claims that during the August 12, 2021 general elections he got about 12,000 votes and in the October 2022 by-election he got about 6,000 votes. Where are the 7,000 plus votes if he is popular in Kabushi? The man was rejected by the people of Kabushi in the recently held parliamentary by-election. The thing is that that boy is a political nonentity,” Lusambo charged. “That man is not my size, he is not my size. That man does not understand political dynamics of Kabushi and cannot even be a ward councillor.”
Lusambo also said that he cannot be divorced from the people of Kabushi Constituency, saying doing so is tantamount to betraying his family.
“Asking me to stay away from the people of Kabushi is asking me to betray my family. I cannot be divorced from the people of Kabushi Constituency,” Lusambo said.
And Lusambo said that for Kanengo to succeed, he has no option but to buy into the Patriot Front development agenda and work closely with the eight councillors.
“If that imposed member of parliament wants to go it alone, he will not succeed. The development agenda for Kabushi is on my table. So that man has to close his ears and eyes and work with us and buy into the Patriot Front development agenda,” said Lusambo.
