He said the presidential initiative fund was also looking at addressing the immediate needs of people before giving them an empowerment which was in form of tools and capital.

He said President Lungu’s desire to empower his citizens went beyond religious or political affiliation.

And Mkushi North Member of Parliament Doreen Mwape thanked the Head of State for empowering people especially in her area.

Ms Mwape encouraged women in the area to form cooperatives so that they could be empowered as a group.

He said President Lungu should be commended for empowering both the vulnerable but viable women and men using his own resources.

Mr Mwamba said various development projects that include township roads, bridges, and health facilities already under construction.
