PHIRI CALLS TRANSFER TO KALULUSHI A DEMOTION, SAYS IT DID NOT ORIGINATE FROM PRESIDENT HICHILEMA.
By: Sun FM TV Reporter
Former Ndola District Commissioner Joseph Phiri has characterized his recent transfer to Kalulushi as a demotion, expressing his dissatisfaction and asserting that the decision did not originate directly from the president.
In an interview with Sun FM TV News, Mr. Phiri alleged that the transfer was orchestrated by individuals with selfish interests who were displeased with his diligent work ethic in the district.
Mr. Phiri’s concerns arose following a handover ceremony that occurred in his absence, where supporters escorted the newly appointed Ndola District Commissioner, Precious Njekwa.
He described the scene as demeaning, citing chants targeting him, and stated he felt compelled to withdraw to avoid confrontation.
Meanwhile, the newly appointed District Commissioner for Ndola, Precious Njekwa, affirmed her capability for the role and pledged to work collaboratively with the people of Ndola.
You were very confrontational towards the MPs and it was just a matter of time…
This man thinks public service positions are a status symbol. Its about service. If youre not happy leave…there others waiting to do what you can do. People should stop thinking they are indispenisble. Even Trump will be replaced at some point. We are never born into these jobs or positions. Serve to the best of your ability during the allotted time….period. Not happy leave.
