She wrote:

Acting on behalf of the President whose heart is a sacrifice in servicing the good people of Zambia, I pronounced the following for the affected families and DMMU is already on the ground:

1. 25kg bags of Mealie meal.

2. 5kg of Rice

3. 50 bags of beans and

4. K1000 per family

I have further instructed both the District and Provincial Administrations to coordinate, finish the new market on construction and shift people in not later than Seven days. To this effect the construction of boreholes are to start by this coming Monday.
