Biography

Katema worked in marketing,[1] and served as mayor of Ndola during the late 1990s and early 2000s. He was the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) candidate in Bwana Mkubwa in the 2001 general elections after the MMD incumbent Mathew Mulanda opted to contest the Chifubu seat. The elections saw Katema elected to the National Assembly.[2]

Prior to the 2006 general elections, Katema was defeated by Barbara Bwalya-Chibulu in the MMD candidate selection vote for the Bwana Mkubwa seat.[3] Bwalya-Chibulu went on to lose to Joseph Zulu of the Patriotic Front in the elections.

gollark: You can just hand out what some random people think is absolutely *needed* first, then stick the rest of everything up for public use, but that won't work either! Someone has to decide on the "needed", so you get into a planned-economy sort of situation, and otherwise... what happens when, say, the community kale farm decides they want all the remaining fertilizer, even when people don't want *that* much kale?
gollark: Planned economies, or effectively-planned-by-lots-of-voting economies, will have to implement this themselves by having everyone somehow decide where all the hundred million things need to go - and that's not even factoring in the different ways to make each thing, or the issues of logistics.
gollark: Market systems can make this work pretty well - you can sell things and use them to buy other things, and ultimately it's driven by what consumers are interested in buying.
gollark: Consider: in our modern economy, there are probably around (order of magnitude) a hundred million different sorts of thing people or organizations might need.
gollark: So you have to *vote* on who gets everything?
