Health workers at the Kalomo district office were yesterday morning held outside their offices by district commissioner, Oliver Pelete for reporting late for work.
The District Commissioner who made a surprise check at the department to see for himself how public service workers observed punctuality literally found no officer at the office by 8 hours apart from the office orderlies who were cleaning the premises.
Officers only started reporting for work some minutes after 8 hours prompting the DC to bar them from entering the office demanding for an explanation from them.
Mr. Pelete lamented that most government workers in the district have the tendency of not observing the stipulated government working hours a trend , which was contrary to the public service Code of Ethics.
The workers were only allowed to get in their offices after he strongly warned them not to steal government time saying that was retrogressive to the development process in the district.
He further promised to continue with the surprise checks on wanting departments to eliminate the tendency among public service workers.

Hhhahh, this is laughable!
Good, Mrs Stevens let me be first on one thread mwe, this is funny though hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, Things seem to be changing in a lot of places in Zambia for the good. Virgil is important though.
Bushe is Boma another isukulu kanshi?
didn’t locking them out delay the work day even further? Pelete find a productive way to deal with workers’ tardiness.
More must be done.
#4 i was gin to say the samething. this is just a wate of time. FTJ also tried the same ttricks on a fw occasions when he had smoked too much and become bored. Ba Nervous Mumba also went to some nite club at nite purpoting to enforce the rule of law.
Ama politicians pa zed have a funny way of handling issues
I think the DC must be a former teacher locking out employees, that’s so old school dawg!
the working habits of our civil servants are very bad!!and when they demand for higher perks,we don’t see the need…improve on stewardship of time pliz!!Oliver…good move…
So pelete has not stopped his hillcrest prefect tendencies?
viva pelete viva!
With due respect to DC Oliver Pelete, Its not right for him to be time keeper for health workers at Kalomo District Heath Centre. He should instead find out their reasons for reporting late for work and resolve such issues. He is lucky as DC coz he he has transport available and good salary. The health are faced with amny challenges and are committed to their professions. What should be addressed are the top brass who heling themselves to GRZ funds through corruption, unretired imprests and thefts. Mr. Mpelete you are supposed to be initiating development projects and their implementation and not behaving likea school Head Boy. Mind you Chiluba tried it during his term of office but he never achieved anything. Workers need to be motivated not being treated like kids. Read ur majot duties
this sounds very funny , but it is not. Pipos lifes are at risk because of the late commers.
Just suck the whole lot.
