Aspiring MP pledges sitting allowances to education fund

CHITUNGWIZA North independent candidate Assan Mtembo claims he stands a better chance to win the forthcoming elections as most of his rivals were making false promises to the electorate.

The constituency has 12 contestants, including the sitting MP Godfrey Sithole from the MDC Alliance.

Mtembo said the time for looking down upon independent candidates was over, as people were no longer interested in voting for political parties, but candidates with capacity to deliver.
