Katsonga - Kachere Stand off

In 2011 political tensions between former parliamentarian for Neno West Constituency Mark Katsonga Phiri and Kachere developed over development projects in the constituency.[3] She blocked attempts by Katsonga to rehabilitate of boreholes and roads because Kachere accused Katsonga of having political motivations behind the projects. It is an on-going issue but no projects have been implemented.[4]
