Government to employ 11,200 health workers to improve health service delivery in Zambia

1. Where would the health workers work if PF didn’t build hospitals and clinics.

   Upnd should give credit to PF who has laid a foundation for them. Let’s hope the 11200 is not a hoax.

2. The nurses will be employed because structures are already there and built under PF government.

   I thank PF for shaming Hakainde in terms of infrastructure development.

   • Is this supposed to be a joke? Surely you didn’t expect the pf government to do nothing despite their allocating money to the Ministry of Health and also to the Ministry of Infrastructure. With your kind of thinking UTH shouldn’t have been built by UNIP and yet it’s the responsibility of the party in power to respond to pressing National issues during their time in office. Overating your pf when they blundered by not giving enough to match the monies they borrowed, is painful

3. PF DID LAY A FOUNDATION BUT WITH OUT CEMENT

4. Henry – This is the problem with being a cadre especially a PF is one you just comment without thinking …the facilities are there but the selfsame facilities have no medicines because PF borrowed so much that money meant for frontline services was being used for debt servicing.

5. tikki – PF’s problem was that they lack good governance and credible leadership…it was a Kakistocracy; govt by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.

7. @ Henry,
   From “HH will NEVER enter plot 1” to “Let’s hope the 11200 …….”. CLEARLY, you have HOPE in UPND which is a big shift in itself.

   Clearly, nothing is impossible, HH is creating the environment, it`s up to ZAMBIANS to utilize the opportunity. The 11200 will benefit from the UPND government, they did NOT benefit from PF government, and that is the difference.

   So why should PF be credited for structures that did not benefit the sick and the health workers, in short Zambians? But benefited those who had “cuts” and the secretariate

8. Henry – Instead of crying for a hopeless group of thugs called PF you should be looking for opportunities in this budget for yourself and your family..funds from that CDF will benefit local contractors and there will be a multiplier effect unlike in the PF where loans were obtained from the Chinks only for over two thirds of the funds going back to Chinese industry. The likes of Dangote in Nigeria got wealthy because of such policies that empowered them and in turn created employment.
   You should be coming on here and asking us in diaspora how you can get second hand refrigerated vans and trucks since customs duty has been waived in this budget, these are cheap at UK car auctions ….wake up how many local businesses benefited from those billion dollar infrastructure you keep singing…

9. keep singing about built with loans in PF regime?

10. Henry, was yours one of the companies that benefited from government contracts? I suppose you know why I’m asking.

11. It is easier to sing unrealistic songs of promises than it is to implement them. It seems upnd supporters are still in the election euphoria stage where they are gullible to any promises without objectivity . It will end in tears because imf restructuring is coming. All these promises will be u turned. I am a politician with decades of experience. I know how these things work. Only dull upnd diasporans can fall for such

12. Lusaka times used to allow bloggers to insult ECL. So why are they now moderating those that speak out against hh? It is my right to call hh a cheecolour if I want. Infact mukungu wa hh. Moonyellow yake. Hh is a pile of dog s.h.i.t. hot smelly mess

13. The putting of community health voluntary workers on the payroll is a welcome move. But there is also something the new government can learn from this for the education sector. The balance of 25,000 teachers who will not be recruited under the 2022 budget can still be engaged as intern teachers with a modest living allowance before they are later assumed into the teaching service commission once more money is found to recruit them. It is better to have these young people engaged than not to have them engaged at all. Government should also be targeting the recruitment of more extension workers in the agriculture sector to help equip farmers with best agricultural practices and increased productivity and crop yields. Talk should not only be about livestock extension services. It should…

14. …also be about aqua culture and crop extension services.

15. The forma president was too busy selling Zambia to China, to realise the health service was in poor condition. I hope this new president is genuinely working for the good of the state. Lungu could well have been Chinese. He had no African interest in him. It is a great shame but thanks to the Zambia voter for peacefully getting rid of him.

16. SOME IDi0*T DOESNT REALISE MEDIA DANCES TO THE TUNE OF THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT

    MEDIA HERE IN ZAMBIA IS BIAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE

17. A BIGGER PROBLEM IS TEACHERS ALTHOUGH IT IS SAID 30,000 WILL BE EMPLOYED
    WITHOUT A LITERATE SOCIETY WE ARE GOING NOWHERE .. THE CURRENT CROP OF TEACHERS EMPLOYED BY BF LEAVES MUCH TO BE DESIRED
    WHILST THERE ARE MANY LOYAL DEDICATED ONES DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB
    MANY ARE LACKING AND CANT EVEN PASS THE EXAM PAPERS THEY GIVE THEIR STUDENTS
    AT INTERVIEWS THOSE APPLYING MUST BE GIVEN MAYBE 3 DIFFERENT YEAR PAPERS TO SEE HOW THEY PREFORM
    I CAN ASSURE YOU MANY WILL FAIL

18. Lets hope the HR criminal syndicates who were assigned to implement the previous corrupt, discriminatory Nazi like exclusion agenda in recruitments would have been sorted out before the recruitment exercise begins. Every Zambian deserves an equal opportunity.
