The Zambia Union of Government and Allied Workers (UG) has implored incoming republican President Hakainde Hichilema to appoint qualified Zambians to serve as District Commissioners (DCs) in order to foster development.
Zambia Union of Government and Allied Workers president Muyaywa Kabisa said depoliticising the position of District Commissioners and the public service workers in general would be a step in the right direction.
ZANIS reports that Mr. Kabisa has since pledged his union’s support to Mr. Hichilema’s administration in its quest for a professional civil service that is able to deliver quality public services.
The UG president said this during a press briefing held to congratulate Mr. Hichilema and Vice President-elect, Mutale Nalumango.
He has since urged Zambians to rally behind Mr. Hichilema in his quest to actualise his vision of having an independent and professional civil service that shall have room for competent and qualified personnel.
Mr. Kabisa noted that the election of Mr. Hichilema as President comes at a time when the Zambian economy is in need of repositioning in order to facilitate good conditions of service for public service workers.
He further noted that the expectations of the working class and Zambians in general from Mr. Hichilema’s administration are very high.
Depoliticize?It must be scrapped.
UPND should do away with provincial ministers, keep DC.
And 10 ministries only please…
We don’t need DCs. DCs are doing jobs for Mayors. Let the mayors run their cities .
DC s are not required. We never had them in unip yet the country was doing fine without them. DC position was only introduced by FTJ as DA to employ party cadres and continued by subsequent governments. We have line ministries present at district levels to handle grz programmes without interference from the DC.
All those outside of southern province who voted hh will wake up and realise that they have voted in the worst tribal dictator to walk the planet. Just look at his record.. he has gone unchallenged for the upnd presidency for decades and even went as far as to change the party constitution to accommodate his tribal agenda. He has the camera following him everywhere and that is cultivating a cult of personality which every dictator does. In addition, if you have noticed, only he is making any decisions. You won’t hear from any other upnd member especially women. Not even his wlfe is allowed to speak. This is just the start. Ask Garry, he has to ask for permission from hh to use the toilet or sleep with his wlfe. X
Depoliticise DeadNBC! Disband IBA! Drop the presidential defamation law!
Mr.Kaizer Zulu, please be objective and write things that make sense. Don’t be petty and childish.We know that you hate HE HH President elect to the core but be responsible.
