And I am not going to labour so much on that issue, but to say that you need to vote for action oriented political leadership in Kapiri Mposhi. Vote for President Edgar Lungu, vote for Mr Crispin Siingwa as your area member of parliament, vote for me as district council chairperson and all the aspiring Patriotic Front ward councilors in Kapiri Mposhi,” said Nkolola. “The Church has, from time immemorial, been playing a pivotal role in the promotion of social justice.
