Copperbelt based good governance expert Peter Mulenga has called for the immediate dismissal of Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) Chief Executive Officer, Eng. Amon Mweemba over tribal speech and abuse of office.
Eng. Mweemba has been allegedly heard in the audio which has gone viral on social media saying only a named tribe will occupy senior and other positions at the Agency.
The audio suggested that Mr. Mweemba had placed personnel in appropriate positions to ensure that people from a named tribe were employed and given senior positions at RTSA.
Mr. Mulenga said the remarks attributed to Mr. Mweemba were divisive, unacceptable, and a direct assault on national unity.
”The recent remarks attributed to the RTSA boss suggesting that only Tongas will occupy senior positions are deeply divisive, unacceptable, and a direct assault on our national unity. Zambia was built on the foundation of “One Zambia, One Nation. Tribalism has no place in our governance, our institutions, or our future,” he said.
”Public office is a position of trust, and those who hold it must embody impartiality, fairness, and inclusiveness. Any leader who openly promotes tribalism disqualifies them from serving in that capacity. We therefore call for the immediate dismissal of the RTSA boss. Zambia deserves leaders who unite us, not those who divide us along tribal lines.”
Mr. Mulenga added:”Let us reaffirm our collective commitment: No tribe is superior to another, and no Zambian should be excluded from opportunities based on ethnicity.”
Meanwhile, Mr. Mweemba has dismissed the audio recording attributed to him.
Sadly he is not alone. Mumble ukulila, ninshi pali uko ashintilile. Isabi litampila ukubola kumutwe. Basically we are chasing a rabbit leaving the buffalo.
Well it’s said we reap what we sowed
Untouchables for now. Such are only handled after change of government
Bembas are a very quarrelsome lot, during the Chiluba, Sata and Lungu administrations they monopolized all positions and now that they are sidelined “awe sure simalilo okanga”. You know, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, you enjoy the taste of your own medicine quietly ba mambala imwe.

The only govt. that tried was UNIP, MMD started well but lost it along the way. PF was worse, we so political supporters without proper qualifications being employed in positions meant for people with qualifications. Take a look at the last batch of PSs Lungu appointed and tell me if there was anything wrong. That said, this cancer cannot continue and its time the same came an end. Mr. Mweemba sir, do the right thing and leave on your own.
Nothing wrong with this Mweemba, what he was saying was 80% at his organization 80% are from Northern and Eastern. 20 % is from the rest of the country. Why should they continue to hire more of the 80% and not include others from other regions. This government is not as tribal as previous governments were the dominant language Bemba was an official language.
PSs are not supposed to be appointed by the President. There shouldn’t be political appointments in the civil service. Every civil servant aspires for the top office in his ministry.
You can’t disturb that ambition with political appointments. That’s why PSs don’t know their jobs. They don’t know how general orders, or the civil service operates. They only know politics.
Iweh Governance fimo fimo show me the talk you condemned the previous regime? Mweemba needs to be commended for trying to balance at RATSA do not try to hide your tribal remarks which seemed legal under PF. IF you in Tonse fimo fimo ust tell us how you are going to develop this country . Politics yachinja muzambia no tribalist will ever ascend to the throne o presidency in this country. We used to be cheated ati one Zambia one Nation till PF came into power. The writings are on the wall or everyone to see what PF divide this country.
