Parliament yesterday unanimously approved the abolition and creation of Government ministries and departments recently established by President Michael Sata.
Vice- President, Guy Scott said the President had constitutional powers to realign Government ministries and departments to make them more effective.
Ministry of Education, Science and Vocational Training now becomes Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education.
The other ministry created are the Ministry of Lands, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection. It was previously called Lands, Energy, and Water Development.
Ministry of Mines and Natural Resources is now called the Ministry of Mines, Energy and Water Development.
The Ministry of Local Government, Housing, Early Education and Environmental Protection has been changed to Ministry of Local Government and Housing.
Supporting the motion, leader of the opposition, Felix Mutati (MMD) said the decision by President Sata to abolish and establish the Government ministries and departments would foster efficiency in the civil service.
Mr Mutati, who is Lunte MP, said the opposition resolved to support the decision as it would streamline operations of the Government ministries and departments

Create a Ministry of Tourism, Game Parks and Wildlife. In East Africa Tourism is a major forex earner ans as such it is a separate Ministry.
Good move as maturity exibited
for the first time support
I think the Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education should just be called Ministry of Education..we could save some government ink and stationary on letter heads.Ministry of mines,water energy…there will be a conflict of interest there as some blogger last week put it.Local government and housing….isn’t local govt responsible for housing ordinarily?Don’t councils fall under local govt and doesnt the council collect rates for houses and busineses.Hello?
agreed!

ministry of gays and lesbos coming soon..ba pf..hahaha
Sata has just created another ministry and appointed a cabinet minister kikikikikiki shooting from the hip.
Did you just approve my Ministry of Education and Early Education? You couldnt even edit the title?Â
Ministry of lands & natural resorces then a separate ministry of mines,water and……hello? arent all those natural resources?
So how many ministries do we have now?
Its amazing how some people can antagonize
everything just for the sake of it..sad
that is all i expect from the president nothing more
let them just revert to the mmd strucutre for ministries they found when they came into poweer………they made sense
lol. So the Ministry of Local govt and housing goes back to being uh… The Ministry of Local Govt and housing. Haha. I like the Lands one bt Putting mining and water development together doesn’t make sense. Energy and Water Development can be their own Ministry. Mines should be on its own
Ministry of Late and Early Education.
