SOUTHERN Province Minister Edify Hamukale has advised all government heads departments and parastatals to ensure they submit the quarterly reports.

Dr Hamukale said the quarterly reports were being submitted to Republican President Edgar Lungu and it was important that all departments submit quarterly reports.

The Minister who was speaking in Choma during a meeting with District Commissioners, Mayors, Council chairpersons and Town Clerks said President Lungu would like to know how the government departments and parastatals were functioning hence the need for them to adhere to the directive of submission of the quarterly reports.

“The quarterly reports are of benefit to us as President Lungu will have access to know what is on the ground,” he said.

He said parastatals should not distance themselves from the submission of the reports but were required to comply and submit the reports.

He also called on all mayors, district council chairperson and district commissioners to read the constitution, Patriotic Front (PF) manifesto and the Seventh National Development Plan (SNDP) as they would help in the implementation of government programmes.

During the same meeting the Minister called on the Mazabuka Municipal Council to work at the creation of a divergent road to help curb the increased road accidents in the district.

Meanwhile Dr Hamukale assured the people of Kalomo that government had engaged Zamtel and the communication towers would soon be mounted in the district.

The Minister made the assurance following a question from Kalomo District Commissioner Cosmos Chiiba who sought for the intervention of the provincial Minister in the installation of the communication towers.

Mr Chiba said people of Dundumwezi and were subjected to climbing trees whenever they wanted to talk on mobile phones.

“Our people in Dundumwezi climb anti hills in for them to communicate and I request for your intervention,” he said.

  1. This is a good move but it lacks detail…what should the format of the quarterly report be? Surely a Parastatal report cannot be the same as that of a ministry, second these parastatals have Board of Directors they are the final say on what goes out or should they also meet quarterly to decide on what goes to Plot 1? Yes Trump like ECL has stunned us with victory…and Hilary with grace has congratulated her colleague our great leader and outgoing party Leader HH doesn’t have such grace he instead boycotts national events and threatens his MPs not to attend the same or accept to work with the GRZ of the day…shame 2021 zwaaaaa go and rest 5 times loser is too much..2021 Zambia forward new leadership!

    • These are developmental reports nothing to do with P&L reports, so they will be a scorecard measure of planned versus attained, weakest link, accountability, etc.

    • These are developmental reports nothing to do with P&L reports, so they will be a balanced scorecard measure of planned versus attained, weakest link, accountability, etc.

    • You submit a quarterly report to a Grade 12 politican who can not understand a constitution…simply submit a big dictionary of nothing they will be put off reading it.

  2. @thechangeweneeded,
    Donald Trump has won an election to victory, Edgar Chagwa Lungu stole election results to victory.
    There is a difference.

  3. TB Joshua’s ‘PROPHECY’ on USA presidential results puts him in a VERY QUESTIONABLE POSITION WHETHER HE IS REALLY A MAN OF GOD..

  4. Give us a report of money stolen from your office by civil servants.Be careful with those corrupt officers in your office.

  5. Edify Hamukale now so called Doctor once worked at FRA.I support his suggested idea of submitting quarterly reports and I’m of a feeling that he must be able to know what goes on in Govt institutions like FRA which delays payments for both poor farmers and local based contracted transporters Besides,management luxuriously purchases of motor vehicles,huge allowances drawn and misuse of public funds as well as undervalued sale of vehicles to the employee once a contract is terminated for top managers while he also happens to be one of the beneficiaries.

  6. GIVE QUARTERLY REPORTS AND THEN WHAT? IF THE MINISTERS WHO WERE RECEIVING SALARIES ILLEGALY HAVE IGNORED THE RULING OF THE CONCOURT WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THOSE REPORTS EVEN IF THEY ARE GIVEN? NOTHING BECAUSE THERE IS HONOUR AMONGST THIEVES.
