MALAMBO MP CRIES
THE CDF GRADER KILLED A CHILD, THE CDF TIPPER OVERTURNED AND NOW THE POLICE CDF VEHICLES HAS CRASHED!
Malambo MP Peter Phiri writes
It is my displeasure to see how the worst things are happening in the constituency especially concerning the way/speed we have lost lives and the rate at which CDF procured machinery is getting destroyed.
In shortest possible time we lost the soul of a council worker in a terrible accident involving the CDF tipper. Not long enough, we lost a driver of the council who was assigned to drive the CDF monitoring vehicle, shortly after, our grader whilst on duty on road maintenance works killed an individual in Masumba area, as if that is not enough, our newly procured CDF Police Land Cruiser has been involved in a Road Traffic Accident and the extent of damage is something unexplainable.
How do we explain this to our citizens of the Constituency? What really is happening in the Constituency? What is it we should do? Are our Ancestors not happy that we want to develop the constituency?
Help us understand please. It is a very difficult situation we have gone through with a lot of questions left unanswered.
We seriously need a quick solution to all these challenges we’re facing. God needs to intervene and we need prayers on a serious note.

It is PF’s ghost doing all that, you must pay me K10m to exorcise it.
Take your drivers including the police for driver retraining. Most Zambian drivers cannot drive because they take short cuts by buying their drivers licence. You understand most of them love speeding even on very bad roads. I have heard of drivers from the rural villages that can’t drive in Lusaka. Driving is a skill that you perfect with time. There some drivers that do know where all the car controls are located. Training and Re-training.
Skills…..
Check your workers qualifications..
Ka corruption etc
Very very true, you can end up blaming ba nfwiti and yet it’s your drivers who are not experienced and are now gaining experience at wrong time and vehicles. Most likely they have licenses for manual cars and yet since the time they got their licenses they have been driving automatic.
More police cars will go down coz police officers also have that ka pompas pa road.
Employing in experienced drivers and also careless drivers contribute to such.
About vehicle accidents: incompetence and arrogance are the main reason, there’s no sinister or ulterior motives here. About killing a kid. Remember your constituency is rural so people are not as alert as their peers in the cities.
What to do:
1. Re-training of drivers or recruiting competent ones
2. Police, prisons and defence personnel do not go to formal driving schools…they teach each other. Their pomposity and drinking exacerbates their terrible driving. So to save those expensive asserts, you need to learn basic management because you seem not to have that ( no insult here, just a fact from an experienced and educated manager…and now retired and an entrepreneur). Once you sharpen your management skills and capabilities, you tutor the control personnel in all affected institutions in your constituency. Then there will be no killings of people and over-turnings. It is a process. Start with a SWOT analysis of your institutions targeting the same asserts, the personnel directly or indirectly using them and the community as beneficiaries
It is purely a management issue. There are risks in everything we need. Supervision and Treatment of such risks matter. You may be one of the problems yourself.
Do not need.
