The Patriotic Front (PF) has backed the introduction of health insurance bill, saying it will resuscitate Zambians who may not afford to afford health care.

Speaking during the PF media interactive forum, PF Bwanamukubwa member of Parliament Jonas Chanda suggests that the bill will enable government generate more revenue to build health infrastructure other than that which comes from the nation’s tax base.

Meanwhile Dr. Chanda has hailed government’s efforts through the ministry of community development to increase the number of beneficiaries in the social cash transfer.

Dr. Chanda states that this is indeed a huge step in alleviating poverty in the country but reiterates that it should be coupled with some form of investment on the part of beneficiaries.

He emphasizes that the social cash transfer should not be on a hand-to-mouth basis.

Meanwhile the Bwanamukubwa law maker has observed the need to ensure that the land policy benefits the majority of Zambians.

He has since advised government to curtail the acquiring of huge chunks of land by foreigners, by prioritizing Zambians.
