RTSA BOSS SAYS HE HAS NO INTENTIONS OF RESIGNING OVER LEAKED AUDIO ON ALLEGED TRIBALISM
Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) Chief Executive Officer, Amon Mweemba, has made it clear that he has no intentions of resigning following the circulation of a leaked audio in which he is accused of promoting tribalism.
Mr. Mweemba has brushed aside calls for his resignation, insisting that stepping down is not even on the table. He argued that those calling for his departure are either misinformed or simply seeking to stir unnecessary controversy.
He stated that the comments made in the leaked audio were deliberately taken out of context, stressing that his intention was merely to emphasize the importance of a more balanced employment structure within the agency.
Mr. Mweemba revealed that he has already engaged his appointing authority to clarify the matter, but maintained that the issue has been grossly misunderstood and exaggerated by the public.
With a tone of defiance, the RTSA boss said he refuses to be dictated to by what he described as “armchair critics” who do not understand the inner workings of the institution.
He further warned that he will not allow himself to be dragged into political games, noting that his mandate is to lead RTSA with professionalism and impartiality not to appease detractors.
Mr. Mweemba confidently maintained that he remains firmly in charge of the institution and is determined to continue delivering on his duties despite what he termed as “baseless noise.”
He challenged those questioning his leadership to present tangible evidence of wrongdoing instead of, in his words, “crying foul over shadows.”
“I was appointed to serve, not to resign at the whim of every rumor. I will not be intimidated by misplaced outrage,” he declared.
Don’t feel guilty brother Mweemba the ones to feel guilty are those who shortlisted applicants only from Northerner and Eastern..chapwa!
You only raised an alarm.
Rumors? well well well, you were speaking and it is a rumor? If your appointing authority has assured you are safe, you are safe. Continue with rumors.
Yes, you won’t resign and neither are you going to be fired if reverse tribalism has become a de facto policy of the UPND government.
If there are inbalances in the employment structure of the company, correcting that should not be left to the whims of a CEO. It should be a deliberate, systematic and well thought out policy of the government.
Is the CEO going.to allow the interviewing panel to do its job? Or maybe there is no interviewing panel. If the CEO is going to override the panel’s decision, what is the point of having a panel. He saw nothing wrong with him imposing the gentleman with a distinction in Maths (I am not sure about the relevance of a distinction in Maths to RTSA’S operations).
This arrogant tribalist must go unless of course he has the backing of other tribalists within the government structure.
Today I listened to the audio the RATSA man was clear doesn’t like tribalism in that institute simply asked the HR to balance all the tribals .
Stupid idiots. If you don’t understand the Tonga language that Mweemba used, just shut up. You think RTSA is for Bembas and Ngonis only. Sha! We will stand by Mweemba who in essence was objecting to lop sided appointments regionally. But you accusing him of tribalism. Are you normal or you just have problem of Tribalism yourselves? Shut up. Zambia is not for certain tribes only. Stupid idiots. Big mouthed
