Copperbelt Province PS wants inefficient engineers on Big Projects Blacklisted

Share

Copperbelt Province Permanent Secretary Bright Nundwe says there is a need for a law to blacklist inefficient engineers on projects involving colossal sums of money.

Mr. Nundwe says it is unfortunate that some engineers are derailing Government’s developmental agenda at great cost because they do not mean well to the country.

He was speaking when the committee of the board chairpersons from road sector agencies led by Road Development Agency -RDA- Board Chairperson Samuel Mukupa paid a courtesy call on him at his office.

Mr. Nundwe said engineers are supposed to study the environment where they have been given projects to enable them carry out quality construction works.

He wondered why engineers leave out supporting components on a project, stating that this has greatly affected construction works on road projects.

And Mr. Mukupa said the agencies are working together to ensure there is coordination to enable them to appreciate what is happening in the road sector.

Meanwhile, Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) Board Chairperson Cornelius Chipoma said through such coordination by the three road agencies, the road sector is expected to achieve a lot of success.

And National Road Fund Agency -NRFA Board Chairperson Christabel Banda said officers in the road sector are also vulnerable to contracting covid-19 during the course of duty, as they are always interacting with the public.

The team of board chairpersons is on the Copperbelt to check on how officers from the road sector are protecting themselves from covid-19 and also assess how they are maintaining road infrastructure in the province.

  1. Confusions always, so many boards but one road. RTSA, NRFA, RSA.

    Why can’t you form just one board since we have one road to develop and ensure safety.

    Is this another way of employing cadres?

    PF must go!

  2. Dream on!
    Cadres & ne@nderthal violent stone throwers get everything in Zambia no questions asked, as long as they shout Ch@kolwa nafuchi nafuchi 2021. Why is 2turdy Mwale still in a job despite getting taxpayers cash for very shoddy work?
    You even have !di0tz like Tutwa saying “baJona’z lovely daughter should never face prosecution for breaking the law”. Why does Tutwa Bushpig say that? Coz he knows he will get all the juicy contracts for saying such sh!te. However come September 2021, T@s!la WILL ANSWER for all illegal acts including possibility that the 48 mysterious houses may belong to her, how else is it that no owners have been found despite rentals being paid.
    Lastly P.F.WILLGO!

  4. Board chairpersons to check on how officers from the road sector are protecting themselves from covid-19 – Really, every jim and jack is now an expert in covid-19 protection. There can never be any road developments in Zambia with too many boards good for nothing, roads worse in Zambia than before independence.

  5. Be specific mr PS and say, you PF Cadres that you give contracts to and are in turn not performing. Cos they jeopardize your status. Well, pay the price ka stupid PS. Did you think cadres would do a good job when u were awarding them with these tenders?

  6. Black list engineers…. You mean those who have shown how much corruption there is the procurement of the project with the Chinese, so we should black list them.
    Pf must go or zambia dies
