Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) president Edith Nawakwi has charged that Ministers not doing their job but merely seating and eating tax payers money.
Ms Nawakwi has told Qfm News that she disappointed especially with Health deputy minister Dr. Patrick Chikusu who she says seems not to be concerned with the plight of patients that are dying on a daily basis due to lack of medical kits in the rural areas.
She says there is need for Ministers to serious change their attitude towards the plight of the suffering majority Zambians that put them in office.
Ms Nawakwi has warned Ministers that their failure to give an ear to the Zambian people and the opposition leaders will cost them.
Ms Nawakwi explains that she personally called the deputy minister of health to do an on the spot check in some clinics in Nakonde that have had no drugs and labour kits for women that were due for delivery but that Dr Chikusu ignored her and instead went to visit a construction site within the same area.
The FDD leader has since appealed to President Michael Sata to see to it that such ministers show empathy to the people they serve stating that life and good health is important for every Zambian.
The ministers they don’t visit the departments of the ministry to see how the junior Director are working and to ask the follow work how department are moving on of doing the Goverment duties.
Mrs Hambulo !!! Point taken.
Am very happy with Deputy minister of Home Affairs how he is working by visiting police stations
To sent police to beat up innocent people? hahahaha
FDD PRESIDENT IS RIGHT EVEN OUR MP IS LOST I MEAN NAKONDE MP HE IS DOING NOTHING I REMEMBER NAWAKWI WHEN SHE WAS REPRESENTING US IN PARLIAMENT NAKONDE WAS SEEN ON ZAMBIAN MAP.SO MR SICHULA COME BACK HOME AND ATTEND TO OUR PROBLEMS WE CAN GIVE YOU SUPPORT WE KNOW YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE POSITION.
My elder sister Nawakwi is wrong. A conclusion as big as “ministers are not doing their jobs” cannot be arrived at simply by looking at one incident. And you LT even go ahead and report such, surely? Let us be fair to our ministers and not make such conclusions.
@ Christopher Mulenga. Show me one minister who is working and i will show the rest who are not working
EDUCATION MINISTER-243 PUPILS
WORKS, ROADS ETC-ACCIDENTS EVERY DAY
HOME AFFAIRS- ZAMBIANS BEATEN NO ARREST
FOREIGNER AFFAIRS- ISSUING OF DANGEROUS STATEMENT
HEALTH-SALE EXPIRED DRUGS
TOURISM AND WILDLIFE- OFFICIALS CAUGHT WITH GOVT TROPHIES
LABOR-PEOPLE STILL ABUSE WORKERS
THE LIST IS ENDLESS
jUST BECOZ YOU ARE A BEMBA?????????*******XXX F*********YOUSELF
Minister have not been working. This was confirmed by Winter Kabimba b4 he became minister himself. The only ones trying are Guy Scot, Chikwanda, Edgar Lungu, Bob Sichinga, Kambili and Given Lubinda, when he was minister. The rest aweee. Eg Col. Gerry Chanda
@Ms Nawakwi “Ms Nawakwi has warned Ministers that their failure to give an ear to the Zambian people and the opposition leaders will cost them”
it should be; Ms Nawakwi has warned Ministers that their failure to give an ear to the Zambian people and the opposition leaders will cost more peoples lives.
The ministers are doing an admirable job, It is the citizens who are lazy undeducated and expect things without working for them
If I was a minister I would have an offshore account somewhere because in all honest most don’t have a long shelf life, how on earth they are appointed by one person is beyond me in your ludicrous country in 5 years years time or even less when they blink its over, The president has these undeserved tacit powers
I am doing a PhD I know what i am talking about
Thanks
People who have PHD’s never brag about it each time they open their mouths. Why can’t you blog intelligently on these issues affecting Zambians without this PHD fantasy.
Well I am living their life (PhD holders) If you had one you wouldn’t have been so desperate to steal my spotlight
I demand to be segregated from the people you undermine judge by your standards and mingle with.
I am different special and untouchable
Thanks
Can’t get past “if I was a minister”.
What in-the-name-of-all-that’s-holy, are you smoking?
Rest is all blah blah blah…..
I blame her parents.
Mushota’s mother and father, if you’re reading this, you did us all a great disservice. We however remain respectful to you.
(Have you got more children?)
Recently a minister said without shame that they are in government to eat. So Ms Nawakwi is right and simply reiterating what we all already know about PF ministers.
Ministers not doing their job – eeeeeh, Yes.
