Lusaka Province Permanent Secretary, Stephen Bwalya has called for hard work among public service workers to address the effects of the global economic crunch.
Mr Bwalya said civil servants should fully implement government’s programmes to cushion the effects of the global credit crunch.
He further called for teamwork among civil servants in Lusaka province so as to record positive development that will improve the living standards of the people.
He implored the workers to ensure that development programmes are not derailed due to the effects of the global credit crunch.
The Permanent Secretary was speaking in Chongwe district, today, when he addressed heads of departments at the council chamber during his familiarisation tour of the district.
Earlier, Chongwe district director of health, Charles Msiska, commended government for investing heavily in the health sector.
Dr Msiska said this is in line with the government’s policy of taking health care services closer to the people.
And several heads of departments bemoaned lack of transport and accommodation as their major challenges in the district.
They informed the permanent secretary that this is hindering the smooth supervision of the programmes in communities to evaluate the impact of government interventions programmes.

ooh mother Zambia,
How is this going to work out with all the corruption? Please eradicate Corruption first for the civil servants to start implementing government programmes efficiently.
The vast majority of civil servants are ill trained, poorly paid and have no personal development assistance. Motivate them to be visionaries, otherwise they will always be demoralised and unproductive.
Set them targets to accomplish and promote them based on their perfomance. A good manager always surrounds himself or herself with the best staff.
Prepare for hard times ahead.
