So sad that MUBANGA has been fired, but this was expected, for obvious reasons. Let us see who he will be replaced with.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN AUGUST.
It’s too late for the would be appointees to make any meaningful contributions. We are in the Election season. It’s all over now.
Whoever will be appointed will just be for decorations..An appeasement for campaign purposes.. nothing much.
Sorry sir but we are planning for 2026/2031 term since we are winning.
Your thief Lungu kept his kleptomaniacs throughout his reign. That is why they bought helicopters….think.
For both of the fired Ministers, I am not surprised at all, may be the timing but their firing was long overdue. In UPND Party and Government, we need hard working Ministers like Elvis Nkandu, Elisha Matambo and others. In terms of performance, Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises has been the worst although it’s among the well funded Ministries in the country. The so called CEEC has performed below par, at times I don’t even want hear that word or name CEEC, the guys have benefited more than the would be beneficiaries, which is very bad. Health Sector, we can’t even talk about, the corruption it’s known about has continued and worsened. Stealing of drugs and flout procurement procedures at the top are there to see. Corruption during the recruitment of health workers leaves much to be desired. There is also rampart pilferage of drugs, medical supplies and
equipment by some health workers. Some of these items find themselves in private surgeries.
You don’t fire a dancer with a flowless waist towards the elections; he will dance for another camp. Having said this, the ministry of health has many problems which were there before Muchima and the nation expected the same approach to have been applied. anywhere they say it is the prerogative of the appointing officer.
