Office Orderly handling labour disputes in Mazabuka

Share

An office orderly at the Mazabuka Labour Office is allegedly manning and handling labour disputes raising serious concerns in the district.

Mazabuka District Commissioner, Tyson Hamaamba disclosed this to Principle Labour Officer, Joseph Musonda from the Ministry of Labour in Lusaka noting that there is urgent need for the ministry to address the issue of manpower to mitigate the problem.

Mr Hamaamba noted that the office orderly is not competent enough to handle labour disputes hence the need for quick intervention.

He complained that his office has equally been turned into a labour office as most sensitive cases were being referred there.

Mr Hamaamba said there is need for a competent officer to be permanently stationed at the office to handle the many labour disputes in the district coming mainly from commercial farms.

He said cases of abuse of workers rights particularly those from farms need urgent solutions by the labour office. He added that his office cannot handle labour matters daily.

  1. Aint nothing wrong if the whole country can be run by a failed farmer, why not give a chance to an office orderly to run the labour office

    Nice one :d:d

  3. This is an indication of the incompetence of the Mazabuka District Commissioner who should have locked up the office until a qualified and competent person was appointed.
    There are University and college graduates without jobs and just roaming the streets when an office orderly is acting labour commissioner.- Shame.
    No wonder the country cannot develop.

    You are following blindly. A careful check shows that there is lack of Law governing the issue of farmer/labourer disputes. One of my relative was a victim of forced labour, the farmer too all his employees NRC to stop them from leaving the farm when problems araise.

  5. … the farmer (employer) took all his employees NRC.. In Lusaka west you read how one farmer used to lock up his workers when going out of his farm. Do you think this is a good idea??

  6. I’ve been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.

    It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if
    all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than
    evera before.
