Prof Chirwa expresses openness to serve as advisor to HH on technological matters
By Chinoy Chipulu
Zambia’s renowned engineer Professor Clive Chirwa says it is embarrassing for the country to be borrowing from other countries when it has plenty of natural resources that are being taken away by foreigners.
And Prof Chirwa says he’s ready to serve as an advisor to President Hakainde Hichilema in order to bring direct information about technologies to the head of state, stressing that the government needed an engineer general advisor (GEGA) at State House.
Prof Chirwa said yesterday at Showsta

Aba bamudala aba ! Is this the same Clive (pro) who was once here under MMD to work with the government? What happened please?
What was the achievement then?
He worked under the PF of Michael Sata.
Listen to his story about Zambia Railways. The innocent Chirwa was being framed by bakandille. Let the man help his country. Zambians we don’t seem to appreciate our own, which is shameful really. The Chinese and other countries have respect for Prof. Chinwa, nomba ba Zambian always criticising even where someone has zero knowledge
Yabaa!
The is man is a joke. And the President should treat him with the same distain he states he would a thief.
Listened to a recent interview wherein he tried to vilify himself on the Eurobond saga given to ZRL.
He lied that monies we drawn and paid to other issues other than what was the sought purpose of the money; first refusing to name who, but later stating that those above him the board, BoardChairman and even naming the late Alexandra Chikwanda (when he was Minister of Finance).
In deflecting responisbilty to seem the rightous one; he threw his own managers in the Finance division of Zambia Railways as the conduits.
Another lie. Those officers dont take instructions from the board or the Ministry of Finance. Instructions may come from the Ministry and to the board. And the Board may direct the Managing Director/Chief Executive. If they sent directives to his subordinate (the FD or Finance Manager) not just once but serveral times. It would be writting on the wall for him to leave as he is irrelevant.
Why didnt he leave? A lack of morals. He was fired by the late Michael Sata cause of the astronomical accomodation bills that he accured for his living arrangments that were a drain on Zambia Railways. And he wants to paint himself a partiot?
Zambians are not shallow; they are tolerant but not shallow Professor Clive Chirwa.
And the inconsistent stories of where you were working prior have also been brought to question. Initially you stated that you were teaching at Some university in England. When the institution was contacted they denied. In this interview you say you were teaching in Japan as a tenured Professor? Which is which?
Just go away bwana. Stop pretending that you are interested in helping Zambia. There is a large array of Zambian engineers younger and a deeper and more credible resume than you.
Do not stretch what know. You can look for the learned engineering journal on the web whose founding editor he is. I have seen that myself and several published engineering academic papers.
This man lamentably failed to prove his purported patriotism when he demanded hefty conditions of service when he was given an opportunity to run ZRL. Sata fired him because nothing sensible was coming out of ZRL despite the USD120million borrowed money pumped into ZRL. So, let’s not blame Government it demonstrated political will and made resources available to this technocrat.
He can still contribute outside government. It would even be good for him to use his claimed networks to start innovative projects. He is a very old man to start crying for government positions. This man has problem.
