Copperbelt Province Permanent Secretary Bright Nundwe has warned civil servants in the province to stay away from stealing farming inputs or risk losing their jobs.
Mr.Nundwe said it is disheartening to hear of civil servants stealing farming inputs meant for the vulnerable in society.
The Permanent Secretary said this at a press briefing at cabinet office in Ndola yesterday.
Mr.Nundwe noted that investigations for farming inputs that were stolen in Luanshya are still on going until the culprits are brought to book.
Meanwhile, Mr. Nundwe has hailed the media personnel on the Copperbelt for highlighting developmental projects in the province.
Mr.Nundwe said both private and private media houses in the province have been objective in their reporting and congratulated them on exhibiting professionalism.
The systems in place maybe the ones allowing for easy stealing by public workers…
Stealing should never be encouraged…they are taking this country back wards
The punishment for such offenses should be heavy enough to make sure no one even attempts to think of doing it
Corruption in Zambia stems all the way back to Chiluba. The worst president Southern Africa has had since Mobuto of Congo.
