Former Finance minister Katele Kalumba has now become a traditional ruler following his appointment as headman Natende in Senior Chief Puta’s chiefdom. Dr. Kalumba, who is also former MMD National Secretary, has also become Senior Chief Puta of the Bwile speaking people’s special adviser.

Dr Kalumba has also been given authority to advise the senior chief on matters related to women affairs in the area. ZANIS reports from Chiengi District that Chairman General of the Ubuilile traditional ceremony organising committee Denson Chishimba confirmed the development on Wednesday.

Mr, Chishimba says Dr. Kalumba will have the power to advise the chief on various issues because his appointment means that he is one who produces and keeps all Puta chiefs.

” Being the chief maker, he has power to put the welfare of the chiefdom first and ensure that the affairs of the chiefdom were being handled properly, ” he said.

And Dr. Kalumba, clad in a traditional regalia, accepted the new portfolio with humility .

He paid homage to Senior Chief Puta as the Ngoni Paramount Chief Mpezeni looked on.

Dr. Kalumba’s wife, Lumba took to the floor after her husband received the rattan plate.
