Hichilema appoints former Vice Presidents as envoys
IN a move designed to honor and utilise the experience of Zambia’s political veterans, President Hakainde Hichilema has appointed all six living former vice presidents as presidential envoys.
The distinguished appointees include former Prime Minister Malimba Masheke, Godfrey Miyanda, Enock Kavindele, Nevers Mumba, Guy Scott, and Inonge Wina.
This notable decision was announced by chief government spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa during a media briefing in Ghana yesterday.
Mweetwa highlighted that this initiative aims to acknowledge the significant contributions of these former vice presidents and address their current plights.
“All the six living former vice presidents of Zambia have been appointed as presidential envoys, and their duty mandate is ongoing,” Mweetwa stated.
He emphasised that the decision transcends partisan politics, noting, “This decision was not made to favour the current regime, as all the former vice presidents do not belong to the UPND.”
According to Mweetwa, the appointments are in the national interest and serve to dignify the office of the vice presidency.
The presidential envoys will provide advice and guidance to the Head of State on complex national and international issues.
They will also communicate on behalf of the President, delivering written or oral messages to his counterparts.
“They will represent the President as official representatives when he is not available,” Mweetwa added.

So basically we shall be galavanting the globe more so now that we have 6 vices to stand in for when we are “not available”
Remember… ECL galavanted too. Clueless of having left the food basket with a bunch of hyenas.
Hakainde’s leadership leaves much to be desired..this is not how they run a government. What happens to these special envoys when Hakainde leaves office? A President needs to do something supported by law..then it will last. That’s how governments are run..
And we have a government spokesperson revealing this to the nation in Ghana!
Let us see if we have principled men and women in Zambia! Only an unprincipled thief can accept this illegal daylight robbery.. And may these people know that the Zambian people will recover their money.
Dear citizen, you have been guided to refer to the constitution of the republic of Zambia. There can not be any other interpretation. Acquint yourself with the same reference and together we will be proud and free.
That’s what is called unity of purpose to live up to : one Zambia, all Zambians are Zambians of one nation. The presidence is perfecting office maturity.
The President his Excellence Mr Hakainde Hichilema has indeed done well to appoint the former Vice Presidents as envoys.All our former Vice Presidents are truly of sobber mind and they deserve to be honoured as such.They are really held in high esteem by citizens of the country for they are of sobber character and very intelligent individuals.We wish them well in their new role for mother Zambia.God bless Zambia.
