The Mwandi MP marked her first speech in Parliament by pointing supporters back to Zambia’s 10-10-5-3-3-1-1-1 development targets.
Mwandi MP Iris K. Kaingu said she delivered her maiden speech in Zambia’s National Assembly on 5 November 2026. In a statement shared on her Facebook page, she thanked supporters and described the occasion as a second generation of Kaingus taking a seat in Parliament. Kaingu’s statement
Two generations representing Mwandi
The National Assembly lists Iris Kaingu as Mwandi’s current representative and records Michael Kaingu as having represented the constituency from 2006 and again from 2011. National Assembly constituency record
What does 10-10-5-3-3-1-1-1 mean for Mwandi?
The numbers refer to national targets under the Grow Zambia Agenda. They include 10,000 MW of electricity generation and five million tourist arrivals. For Mwandi, the practical question is which projects could bring those national ambitions closer to households and businesses, and how residents can track progress.
