NCHANGA Constituency aspiring Member of Parliament Mulaza Kaira’s camp has dismissed allegations that he has embarked on early campaigns following a failed attempt to commission a borehole he funded in Chapuswike, Chingola.
Mr Kaira, popularly known as Marky 2 in the music industry, has publicly announced his intention to contest for a parliamentary seat in the 2026 General Elections.
In line with his political aspirations, Mr Kaira has initiated several community-based projects.
However, his plan to officially hand over a borehole this month was halted after local authorities indicated he did not obtain the required clearance.
Chingola District Commissioner Raphael Chimupi confirmed the development, stating that the correct procedures were not followed.
“First of all, Marky 2 did not engage my office to indicate that he had intentions to donate anything to the community. I just heard of it through other sources. I have asked him to come so that we can look at what he has done,” Mr Chimupi said.
He further said all donations to the community must go through the appropriate channels.
“I was just hearing that he never followed procedure. When you are making any donation, it must be clear. He must come to the office, get clearance, and also be cleared by the council,” he said.
Meanwhile, a source from Mr Kaira’s camp maintained that the singer-turned-politician is not campaigning but simply responding to the community’s needs.
“So for us, we are here for the community. We are here for the people. We are not interested in campaigning. We are only here to help the people,” the source said.
The source acknowledged concerns from some quarters that Mr Kaira’s actions could be perceived as early campaigning.
“We did inquire, and the thinking was that because Mulaza Kaira is an aspiring candidate, it may threaten others who feel he has already begun campaigning. But we are not campaigning,” the source added.
