President Michael Sata has observed that Zambia’s transport system was bad especially for the poor people.
Mr. Sata said there was therefore need to improve the transport system in the country.
He was speaking at State House in Lusaka today when he swore in Charity Kaande Ngoma as Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Transport, Works, Supply and Communications.
“Congratulations, I hope you will improve the transport system which is very bad in the country especially for the poor people,” Mr. Sata said.
And speaking in an interview shortly after being sworn in, Mrs. Ngoma pledged to revamp the transport system in Zambia.
She said she would take advantage of the Link Zambia 8,000 road project and the railway system in the country to improve the transport system in the country.
And Mrs. Ngoma bemoaned alcohol abuse among bus drivers in the country.
She said this situation was unfortunate especially that even public transport drivers are involved.
She disclosed that she would introduce more sensitization programmes for minibus drivers in order to reduce road traffic accidents.
“We need more sensitization for the minibus drivers if we are to end these road traffic accidents,” she said.
Mrs. Ngoma replaces Dr Muyenga Atanga who is now Zambia Railways Chief Executive Officer after the retiring of Prof Clive Chirwa.
The president is doing an admirable job
Give him time, in 5 years time we will be seeing the rewards of the seeds he is sowing
Much better than the previous regime
Thanks

Who is this woman and what are her credentials? Loyalty to one man is not all it takes to effective deliver services to the masses. We want competent people in these jobs – especially after Chirwa wasted out time at ZRL. Already, she appears to understand this job as one of just breatherising taxi drivers all day!
Ok interesting and funny!…. i want to be a minister of in charge of swearing in ceremories, Mr president please!!
there is already a PS and Director for this and since we are reducing public expenditure we wont creat a ministry for that….
Well done
Chi Knobo we know you, behave yourself!
So the ZWD was correct on Friday that there will be a swearing in ceremony for some individual today! The only time we hear from the president is when he is doing his only job swearing in. What a country!
Peeping into the cameras and failing to address the people!!!
Ndiye nchito, swearing IN , Swearing Out, firing ,hiring mainly relatives!!! AAWE sure,Tifuna PRESS CONFERENCE SO WE CAN ASK QNS???????
The guy can’t answer questions!!!!
So Charity Kaande Ngoma is bemba?
She is not bemba but Ila, daughter to Jeff Kaande. Congratulations, she deserves the appointment.
So Dr. Muyenga Atanga has been confirmed as ZRL CEO….why can’t they simply advertise this position as Sata & Co. are making the selfsame mistake they made with one Professor Chriwa when he was hand-picked even though he lacked managerial and corporate experience.
is there anything else that this president does apart from swearing in own his relatives?
Who are you?
shushushu,be careful twalakwikata.
people who visit this site know what flag is associated with “Namona”. So please kindly find another blog name. There is nothing like blog name-sake!!!!
atase,this ka site has been attacked,y this strange name??////????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????am not namona.
It`s a shame that highly trained female road transport and bridge specialist such as Mrs Bupe Kaonga and Mrs Kimena currently serving as Director of Planning and Administration respectively have been sidelined in preference of Charity Kaande Ngoma who was formerly a RTSA inspector. Whereas her core functions will include managing roads, bridges and other major infrastructure projects, her skills set, which seems to be in short supply, will soon become obvious to everyone.
She and Anne Ponda Chileshe (PS Central Province) have been very close friends since UNZA. Remember that Anne is part of the inner circle. Owing to Charity’s appointment we shall in future hear of a defection by a notable Kaande. Watch this space.
lol
Swearing everyday sure…we need press conference…we need press conference
Donchi kubeba part 2
GOVERMENT OF BLOODLINES AND PUSSSIES
The only credentials this woman has is that she has a child with Sata
This Charity it is alleged has an 18yr old son with ba SATA. Jounalist at Lusakatimes please dig this story up. we don’t want it to be one of those Pull him/her down fake stories.
BUT if it is true, then ba tata ba SATA must stop eating umukate in church until these allegations are cleared. Ninshi bali na Nyele ya mbuzi if it is true!!!!!!!
what’s the problem with this president kanshi, no press conference for two years now is embarrassing us.
