The Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) has called on government to ensure that the Presidential Medical Board that it intends to create will be transparent in its execution of duties.
FODEP Executive Director MacDonald Chipenzi has told QFM News in a telephone interview that his organization is not against the establishment of the board but hopes that it will be transparent.
Mr. Chipenzi says the Head of State is of national interest and that if such a board can be created, there is need to ensure that there is transparency in the way the health of the President is handled.
He says it is worrying that Zambia has continued to witness sitting presidents falling sick and that the creation of that board is a right thing.
It will only be transparent if the Chairperson of the Board on indeed the members are not appointed by the President but by and independent Board that will not be intimidated by the president. Such a board does not exist in Zambia yet.
You cant be transparent with achalasia…lol
YES, WE NEED A TRANSPARENT PRESIDENTIAL MEDICAL BOARD. TRANSPARENCY IS KEY WHEN ONE IS IN LEADERSHIP, NOT WHAT THESE DIRTY-MINDED ZAMBIAN POLITICIANS ARE DOING. THEIR PRIME INTEREST IS ONLY TO LOOT THE NATION OF THE MUCH NEEDED RESOURCES. GREEDY ZAMBIAN POLITICIANS HAVE KILLED OUR COUNTRY.
Another white elephant platform for chewing government money for free. We don’t need this board, need to know the profile of the people who are running for office. This is common knowledge and people knew Levy, Sata, and Lungu were sick before putting them to office.
