Portfolio

I see we have decided to add a "Portfolio" column in the section which mentions all the 156 constituency MPs. This column was not added in the List of members of the National Assembly of Zambia (2016-2021) article, which makes me wonder why it was added here.

This leads me to a question: Do we write in that column what the current occupations are for the MPs? If the answer is yes, then we may need to be updating that section every-single-time the Head of State decides to do a shuffle. For example, Cornelius Mweetwa is no-longer the Provincial Minister for the south and Sylvia Masebo is no-longer the Minister of Health.

Let me see if I can find the information of which occupation each MP has been given so that this article shows "current information", as I'm assuming that is what it is meant to show. Since that column does not show anything like when the person was appointed, I'm going to assume that that column should show what those MPs have been appointed as currently.

As an extra, I've added the "non-elected members" subsection at the end of the "Members" section, just like the way it is in the List of members of the National Assembly of Zambia (2016-2021) article. I've merely added the name of the Vice-President as well as the two other presidents from the UPND Alliance who were appointed as ministers. Thanks.
