President Edgar Lungu has challenged Zambians who are privileged with resources to help take care of traditional leaders in the country, as opposed to abusing them for political agendas.
President Lungu said it was sad that most traditional leaders are living in conditions not befitting chiefs and yet wealthy sons and daughters of the land are failing to look after them.
The Head of State said it was unfortunate that wealthy citizens prefer to seek endorsements from the traditional leaders, rather than looking into their welfare.
President Lungu said this when he held a meeting with six traditional leaders in Itezhi Tezhi district in Central Province.
