The Office of the Public Protector (OPP), has expressed happiness with the political will exhibited by government to address maladministration in the public sector.
OPP Public Relations Officer, Smart Kalaluka said this is a positive move considering the alleged rampant maladministration in the previous regime, which was not being addressed.
Speaking during a sensitization meeting for Heads of Government Departments in Mazabuka, Mr. Kalaluka said most people who were allegedly subjected to maladministration during the previous regime, were coming forward to register their complaints.
“People who claim to have been abused while seeking public services especially during the reign of the previous Government are now coming forward to register their complaints with us,” he said.
Mr. Kalaluka further said the Office of the Public Protector handled a total of 622 maladministration cases during the first quarter of 2022.
He explained that the OPP had intensified sensitization meetings and activities for people in both the formal and informal sector for them to know where to report potential cases, and which procedures to follow.
“A lot of resources are being channeled to address maladministration in public institutions. We are now going into communities to sensitise members of the public that they cannot just die in silence due to practices that subject them to injustice,” he said.
And Mr. Kalaluka called on officers in public institutions to operate within the confines of the law.
In accordance with the Public Protector Act Number 15 of 2016, the Public Protector’s Mandate is to investigate and redress grievances of maladministration in the public sector in order to improve administrative practices, good governance and enhance service delivery.
Oh shut the eff up you praise singer. You have to say those lies to put food on your table so we understand your poverty mentality
I am happy PF is gone for good.
Are you going to allow a poor Zambian to surrender 5 after stealing 10 chicken’s then vaccinate him from future jail sentencing
All these institutions are just a farce !!
You can’t even fix a small office like ACC find a way to fix those taking Zambia for a rough embarrassing ride.
WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!
If you want to waste your time. I was there once and this public protector was as meek as a sheep
With the same docile leadership this office is as good as dead it takes the PRO to speak about the OPP and not the head…something isnt adding up but I guess its all part of the methodical approach
