Be professional, Nevers Mumba urges civil servants

Share

MMD President Nevers Mumba has called on government officials to avoid being partisan in their execution of government duties.

And Dr. Mumba says government offices are not meant for mobilization or organizing the ruling party.

Speaking when he addressed party officials in Chadiza District, Dr. Mumba said it is shameful and regrettable that Chadiza District Commissioner Paul Phiri has turned his office into a political office.

Dr. Mumba called on Mr. Phiri who has been accused of harassing opposition members in the district by denying them government services to immediately stop as the office he is occupying does not belong to the PF but to all members of the public.

He said Mr. Phiri should realize that he was put in that office to serve everyone in the district and not PF members only.      

And Dr. Mumba commended the party leadership in Chadiza for their efforts in ensuring that the party remains intact.

He said the leadership in the district needed to be emulated by other districts as it has remained solid despite the recent difficulties that rocked the party. 

Speaking earlier when he welcomed Dr Mumba, MMD district Chairman Harrison Banda asked Dr Mumba to intervene on their behalf and reason with the District Commissioner whom he accused of denying them access to goods and services from government offices.

Mr. Banda said party members were finding it very difficult to access public services as the District Commissioner has issued to instructions and threatened civil servants with dismissal if found helping known opposition members.

He commended area Member of Parliament Alan Mbewe for the help he was rendering to MMD members in the area.

  1. District commissioners are appointed by the president,unless Zambia change the trend were Dc should be voted by district voters or should be selected among the district office bearers for a specific time period,they should be very pragmatic not bookworm only,otherwise its difficult for the to serve without being biased.

    • Once Sata is gone it is all-over and that will spell the end of PF, Kabimba is already campaigning as the next PF leader and lets face it- he cannot win and defeat Mumba or HH, and will be defeated heavily. As for PF, just start to pack as Sata is already in the exit and Kabimba has sensed it already with his Cartel The Post who gives him headlines on the front pages.

    • I’ve just listened to sata insulting levy on ZWD, ati indians missed something so his brain and his mouth are not coordinating. let us search, who else got treated in india and they missed something and his brain and mouth are not coordinating?. if these words he used in the video were used against him today(sata) its a straight case of jail no trial. LESA nimalyotola mwe bantu

    • Pastor Mumbwe really trying to be relevant, but isn’t this what Dora and the group were fighting for? That you go out there and talk to the people instead of using the money donated for your suits.Give Dora credit 4 putting you on your toes.

  2. Civil servants who behave like PF cadres shall be dealt with when we form government in 2016. They should read the mood in their party – Sata cannot stand in the 2016 hence the reason Kabimba is trotting around trying to position himself as their new leader. Kabimba cannot win any election at any level.Sata’s departure means the end of PF!

  3. For the civil service to be professional Zambia has to be reorganized first. At the moment the republic is in the hands of savages. Lets get rid of the vermin first then we can begin charting the way forward.

  4. Illusionist Nevers Mumba talks like incoming president. HH is taking 2016. HH will rule for one term . Them Chipimo will take over. Nevers Mumber never will rule Zambia

    • Ba ZP(Zabwino Palibe),wonders shall never end.Why this personal hatred for Dr Mumba.That’s why the political fights going on against Dr Mumba is more spiritual than physical.I really fail to understand this demonic hatred for Nevers.Thank God,God has a final say than a human being who is infallible like ZP and the like especially those who have a tribally inclined candidate.

    • you will swallow your words or if you are certain,make a vow to either vacate Zambia or hung when he rules
      Ngamwali ba Lesa ngatwalifwa

  5. latest news, sata was evacuated to UK last night according to the zambia reports media. after an emergency cabinet meeting

  6. But how many times are we gonna talk about the same old crap? Find a formula and stop it. You talk about one thing once ans solve the problem either by changing the law or something.

  7. i have noted that the people that post their opinions here mostly will post negative or positive depending on who said what or whom it concerns. i find this approach very retrogressive and very subjective. bloggers when someone says something like in what Dr Mumba said, we should all commend such sentiments as they are made to help all of us irrespective of whether he becomes President or not. Even MCS if he said something sensible, we should not condemn but commend. this will give us a moral standpoint to condemn when they do otherwise. i hope my advice is appreciated. otherwise peace to all who take time to post on this great platform.

  8. Chikubabeniso
    District commissioners were a creation of MMD and now they are eating their own vomit. They should have made them professional when they were in power. The problem in Zambia is that we start seeing bad things only when we are out of power.
    This MMD of yoshi bwana Mumbwe abused the media terribly but you were silent. Today that is when you want to show us that things are wrong. No way. I will only sympathise may be newcomers not the same you chaps who made things worse

  9. This country’s fortunes DO NOT lie in electing a President. They lie in changing the status quo. Everybody opposes the ruling party but once in government they refuse to change the very things they were opposing. I hope we are all beginning to see through the n.on.sen.se… we must change direction entirely!

  10. Who has the final say. Jehovah has the final say! Jehovah will turn MoG life around He will make a way where there is no way! Jehovah has the final say! Mark my words. Blessings

  11. Chi matipa (mud) ubufi ati Sata was evacuated to UK. Lyonse ikalamikata 0 vector. You will tok and tok and tok and tok. Since have you been talking ill about our president. Keep on campaigning for Sata. I used to be UPND until I saw hatred from bloggers like you insulting our leader with impunity. That is when I changed my mind to rally behind Sata. So bwana mud, keep on campaigning for PF. We have all seen your hatred for our father.

  12. Dr Mumba is correct. Civil servants should not be partisan. Especially the police. They are there not to deny permits. Freedom of speech and expression is a real human right. Sata was crying for it before he became President now he does not want to hear about freedom of speech. Our constitution must call for DCs to be elected and not appointed by the president. This will help our democracy to grow as they will be answerable to the voters and not the president. Diplomatic postions should be shared by all 73 tribes and not just one tribe as PF has demonstrated. We have very intelligent Zambians from all tribes. We should civil and above politics and pray for one Zambia one nation. We should wish our President good health.
