Lusaka Province Minister, Bowman Lusambo has challenged Government Heads of Departments in both private and public institutions to work hard.
Mr. Lusambo said it is through hard work that can change the mindset of the people to effectively contribute to national development.
Mr. Lusambo stated that the positive contribution by departmental heads could help change the face of Lusaka and the nation as a whole.
ZANIS reports that Mr. Lusambo said this today when he featured on 5FM radio “Burning Issue” programme.
“Lusaka Province can be a shining example if we as leaders work hard. Then, other provinces can follow our path,” he said.
And Mr. Lusambo has reiterated his call to weed out what he termed as “bad eggs” from both the public and private sector.
The Minister notes that their still some people especially civil servants with a bad working culture in the Civil Service.
“There are still some bad and good eggs in both the private and public sector. To the good people, l must congratulate them but for bad eggs, please, watch out,’ he sounded.
Last month, the Lusaka Province Minister sent away over 40 civil servants at the Lusaka Provincial Administration for reporting late for work.
Meanwhile, Mr. Lusambo noted that government is determined to transform Lusaka province to becoming an economic hub.
He assured that roads in his region are being constructed, rehabilitated and maintained in order to open up and spur economic development in Chilanga, Chongwe, Chirundu, Kafue, Luangwa, Lusaka and Rufunsa districts.
The Minister also pledged to de-congest Lusaka through widening up some major roads in the city.
MMD is really working. Mutati and Lusambo chasing on one side and Magie on the other. Where is Kampyongo for Lusambo to his job.
Lusambo is ok as Lusaka province minister, he knows all streets and all his former MMD youths.
If only could walk into Miles office and make him dress in overalls that would be good for PF.
If only this self confessed bootlicker could weed out his boss!
His boss is the biggest problem we have in Zambia.
Without the MMD in this cabinet …I dont know…even the acting President is MMD…Sata’s coffin is ash by now from his constant spinning.
Ba Edgar don’t like this kind of guys of hardworking Lusambos.
He will be transferred again, just like Kambwili, Mutati, Kalaba, Chimese.
Am impressed with the minister lusambo,where the home affairs minister is failing super hero lusambo is exposing. Way to go. Please move to migration offices now and find out how many Chinese have entered our Country with out work permits.
People who are ill-educated or never worked for properly run firm will be impressed by such cosmetic gestures …what we need are reforms and policy reviews
@Jay Jay, I agree with one part, we NEED REFORMS, POLICY REVIEWS BUT WE ALSO NEED CHANGE IN APPROACH AND MINDSET; a lot laws, disciplinary procedures, regulations exist but are NOT applied!! If we take the recent example of Police Officers caught receiving money (bribes or extortion) without receipts, WHERE HAS BEEN THE ENTIRE POLICE COMMAND, ACC and DEC TO CATCH AND DISCIPLINE ITS OWN STAFF ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT PUBLIC SERVICE REGULATIONS??
Policies and reviews are in place, people are still beating the system, so this works in the interim as a deterrent.
Thumbs up Bowman.
The Political Analyst – What reforms are in place when officers can disappear in the morning for 4 hours without anyone taking notice…why are officers handling cash and issuing receipts in the first place. Just imagine how much the Council and govt loses if officers can collect K2000 from 2 hours on an illegal roadblock.
Moreover you can not carry out reforms with the same bad apples like Kakoma and his COs …you need an overall root and branch reforms to cleanse the whole system, then again with corrupt ministers overseeing all this its impossible.
zambiaisours – In Tanzania or Kenya they have a Special Unit of undercover officers tasked to root out these kinds of dirty cops but in Zambia we know that the officers were going to give a share of that to their boss back at Police Station and corruption is endemic . …am telling those officers were treated diplomatically as they were stealing its no different to a Shoprite worker who is stealing food or things from the shop or money at the till.
@4.4 Jay Jay, AGREED that is the APPROACH WE NEED! TROUBLE is ,there are TOO MANY PARTY CADRES IN THE SYSTEM therefore introducing such a self policing mechanism sounds like those in power fighting themselves!!
Words are cheap performance count. Ask a miner he will understand what i mean. Figures don t lie. Papers must be coupled with deed. Sata might have attested to this
THE MINISTER IS REALLY WORKING I LIKE IT PLEASE MINISTER CONTINUE WITH THE SAME MIND SET,FRIENDS DO NOT EVER INSULT THE ALTHOULITY BECAUSE GOD IS THE ONE WHO GIVE ALTHOULITY TO PEOPLE WHO ARE IN LEADERSHIP . IF WE DO THIS WE MAY RECEIVE BLESSING FROM GOD.ROMANS 13: 1 – 7 , LEADERS ARE NOT TELLOR TO THE ONE WHO IS DOING GOOD. CONGRATULATION TO LUSAKA PROVINCE MINISTER FOR WORKING HARD .LET ALL MINISTRIES FOLLOW SUIT AND CHANGE BAD EGGS TO GOOD USE . GOD BLESS ZAMBIA .
How can a normal person use a novel that has plagiarized and revised a hundred times as moral guide?
Bowman for Labour Ministry. Madam Nonde Simukoko is dormant, and rarely speaks to make labour flouters shiver.
Mutulang’oma – again there you go with outdated thinking of the 60s …being a Labour minister is not about moving about inspecting every establishment and shown on camera its about policy implementation, modernizing the system.
The enforcement of policy can be done by minister from time to time. Minister of labour can ocassionaly visit companies to enforce compliance to labour laws. Sata and Kambwili did it, and consequently spoke with so much knowledge. So bwana JAY-JAY, its not an anomaly for minister to visit companies.
Lusaka Province Minister is the man. His work ethics rock!!!. We need more of these types. A change in mindset is necessary (about time) and please Mr. Lusambo (Hon) visit George clinic, schools and all the bus stops, as well weep out all those boys.
So Bowman will be at Ministry offices in the morning waiting for late comers, then rush to Kafue to check of late comers there…then drive around looking for illegal roadblocks… when Bowman or Mutati are transferred its back to square one..use your heads for once!!
Good Job, go to the airport now, the immigration are “fat Albert” because of the bribe with the Chinese. I’m sure they have fold their tails between their legs, quiver with fear, in knowing the great Lusambo will smoke them out of their twisted corrupt mind. P ****
The MMD guys are really working hard Borman and Mutati. They are marketing themselves well. Come 2021 things are going to happen.
I get where you going with Jay Jay
Keep up the good work Mr Lusambo; you are such a hard worker and Zambia needs more of your type. God bless Zambia!
Society will always need some useful *****s ( RBs lawyer, 2013).
Silly Zambians praising Bowman for what, using his position to bully powerless citizens now we have lost a mother, wife and police Officer because of his use of public humiliation. 90 percent of the police force is corrupt right from the top. reason being that they get peanuts so how do we expect them not to accept bribes when their salaries are below living wage
we have head of departments who have personalized government vehicles, even office yards to be their gardens and very cruel to their subordinates. e.g North- western province,
