Most of the respondents said that they did not know Chawama constituency MP, Lawrence Sichalwe as he has been docile .

The respondents indicated that Mr Sichalwe has been quiet and rated him as the laziest MP in the province.

The respondents explained that the constituency would have been the cleanest, had the MP been more responsive to the needs of the area.

Meanwhile, Lusaka Central constituency MP, Margret Mwanakatwe has been described as the most caring and that she was more responsive to the needs of the people.

Kabwata constituency has been rated the best performing constituency with regards to robust waste management mechanism, modern infrastructure and well planned settlements.
