Lusaka Province Permanent Secretary Stardy Mwale says civil servants in the province need to be loyal to the government of the day.
Mr. Mwale said this is because any disloyalty among civil servants in the province will hamper government’s various developmental projects and their respective implimentations.
ZANIS reports that the Permanent Secretary said this during a luncheon held at provincial administration today to celebrate the victory and subsequent inauguration of President Edgar Lungu.
Now that elections are over, there is need to put the past behind and forge ahead and develop the province for the betterment of the country, he said.
Mr. Mwale further urged civil servants to always be punctual, impartial, respect one another, be accountable and observe confidentiality as they discharge their duties.
He further called for hard for work hard and avoid tribalism in the discharge of their duties but unite as one Zambia one nation.
Meanwhile, Mr Mwale said his administration is committed and dedicated to monitor and supervise the implementation of developmental projects.
He said for this reason the province has recorded a number of successes among them being the construction of thirty seven health posts ,implementation of social cash transfer, construction of chief’s palaces.
Mr. Mwale however expressed concern over the security in the province following the recent cases where houses, lodges and shops among other properties have been burnt down.
He has since called on the police to be vigilant to avoid further loss of property and appealed to members of the public to cooperate with the police as they investigate such matters.
Civil servants should do their work diligently if they are to continue being in employment. However, they do not need to be loyal to PF. Their political affiliations are their own private business. Zambia, though a failed state, is not North Korea – yet.
@buck teeth lungu i couldnt have said it better u are spot on
Ba Mwale, you as a party in government has created this scenario where you approve budgets but don’t want to fund government programs. you can imagine how a civil servant feels when you tell them they cannot get an allowance from government because they are working within their district. since Lusaka Province is your district why don’t you also don’t get paid when you travel and equally since the ministers and the president are overlooking national issues, they should not get paid also when they work anywhere in the country. that way the civil servants will like you. mwikala patalala mwine apatalalika.
