The Bank of Zambia says the appointment of its former Deputy Governor Danny Kalyalya to the position of Executive Director on the World Bank Board, representing 21 English speaking countries in Africa is a sign that Zambians have enough calibre to excel to any position globally.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS, Bank of Zambia Head of Public Relations Kanguya Mayondi congratulated Dr. Kalyalya adding that he has the full support of the Zambian Central Bank.
Mr. Mayondi added that Bank of Zambia is proud that a product of the bank has risen to such a high position.
And the Non Governmental Organisations Coordinating Council (NGOCC) says it is gratifying that a Zambian has been elected to the position of World Bank Executive Director.
NGOCC Chairperson Beatrice Grillo said the World Bank is a key institution in development and expressed hope that Dr. Kalyalya will make a difference in Africa’s representation on the World Bank Board.
She further congratulated Dr. Kalyalya on his election and hoped Zambia will benefit from the invaluable insight and input on the board.
Africa is represented by 2 executive directors on the World Bank Board, one representing English speaking countries and the other representing French speaking countries.
Dr. Kalyalya has been serving as alternate executive director of the Africa Group One constituency at the World Bank but took over the position formally yesterday, for the next four years.

There goes the Tonga Bull. Congrats Mudaala. Tongas maybe good for nthing BUT some of you are quite good! Cheerr!
Its “Denny” and not Danny.
Congratulations Monze secondary school bull. You taught my friend economics at Unza and he speaks highly of you. Your are Zambia’s pride
All things work for good. PF kicks you, and off you go landing on greener pasture! Congratulations we muntu wesu. We wish you all the best.
What’s your problem you tongas mr kalyalya is Bemba his sir name comes from ukulya in Bemba he grew up in mansa and went to mpelembe high school. The bottom line he is a Zambian so let us not congratulate him as a Bemba but as a Zambian but the bottom line of all this is tongas may had an upper hand in terms of education but we will still rule u
Inasmuch as I hate tribalism, I have to tell you the fact that Denny is my cousin and he is Tonga. Full stop. I am disappointed in you bringing in the talk on who rules another and it just shows your level of civilisation.
What is this about “kicked out”?? Can’t we learn to move on? Congratulations Doc Kalyalya! Wish you more successes!
@Octopus paul Bwalya. Inasmuch as I hate tribalism, I have to tell you a fact and not what you wish was the truth. Denny is my cousin and he is Tonga. Full stop. I am disappointed in you bringing in the talk on who rules another and it just shows your level of civilisation. When are we all going to learn to talk about Zambians as Zambians and not focus on the tribe where people come from? When are our leaders going to be wary of what’s happening and advocate for a balanced cabinet, by this brining in people from all provinces to work for the people of Zambia?
Congratulations, I thought it would have been me
Congratulations Dr. Kalyalya, PF kicked you out on account of your being “Tonga”, we knew you were the right person for Bank of Zambia. Time will Tell. VIVA MONZE BOYS, I like Monze, mulaka ulwela mbulimukupa. CONGRATULATIONS! I’m sure the “Kolwestan Movement is shocked. They bring a “Flicker”, Bwalya to Bank of Zambia, debasing…elyo lyanya…..VIVA HH.
@ Octopus Paul Bwalya, you are a fish. Denny Kalyalya will never be Bemba, forget your wishful thinking. It is only people from Southern, Western, Eastern, Central and North Western provinces who make Zambia’s Intellectaul Bank NOT Kolwestans, noways!!!!! Kalyalya is Tonga and I bet NO Bemba will reach that far because when are they going to steal? Thieves!
Congrats
I bet you while you are squabbling about Denny’s tribe, it is the least of his concerns right now because he has worked very hard to get to where he is. Just buckle down and earn your own accolades independent of what language, traditions, practices and region you come from… Eish!!! Zambians!
Congrate sir,
ali
