United Party for National Development (UPND) National Youth Chairperson, Gilbert Liswaniso has dispelled assertions by the PF that UPND would swiftly move in to flash out civil servants once in Government.
Responding to rhetoric and propaganda that the UPND would run a vindictive regime once in Government after 12th August, Mr. Liswaniso observed that such propaganda by the ruling party was aimed at demonizing the UPND ahead of the forthcoming elections.
Mr. Liswaniso also charged that the unprecedented and dismissals of civil servants suspected to be sympathizers of the opposition UPND is unwarranted and misplaced.
He stated that the ongoing threats on civil servants that the UPND once in office will fire civil servants were baseless and unfounded.
He also submitted that the UPND was a party founded on democratic principles and will ensure that civil servants as public Administrators effectively and efficiently play their role of formulating policies based on the party vision of making life better for all
Mr. Liswaniso has since assured civil servants in the country that the UPND had no intentions of firing them on the pretext of being perceived as a member of the PF, adding that such propaganda was being peddled by the PF in order to hoodwink unsuspecting Zambians into retaining them in public office come 12th August.
“We shall not be like PF who have cadrerised the civil servant despite being professionals, look at the DC no one knows if they are civil servants or not. “said Mr. Liswaniso.
Of course civil servants should not be fired for belonging to whatever political party. But I do hope the ACC will be involved as soon as corruption comes to light.
When a car has been in dirt, it gets washed. 12th Aug Zambia is at a car wash.
We know that UPND have been compiling lists. Even parastatals like Zesco already have Tonga MDs in waiting. It is this premature ejaculation that even made Chiluba to dribble Mazoka because cattle was already on the way to Lusaka before the winner was announced,
Counting chickens before the eggs hatch. Be careful, young man.
This is damage control. Be proactive and not reactive. Are you really on the ground? These statements should have come from you earlier on, not after someone has uttered them. Pull up your socks in the campaign period.
This Liswaniso Cadre is so vindictive…..and it’s on record that he doesn’t like non Tongas or non Lozi in UPND……he said it himself….and he is so violent….i don’t like PF bandits but UPND cadres look more hungry and ruthless…
NOTHING TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT !!!!!!!!!
A NEW DAWN IS ON THE HORIZON
ZAMBIANS HAVE WOKEN UP FINALLY
I THINK WE CAN SAFELY SAY IT WILL BE NO DIFFERENT TO WHEN UNIP WAS SHOWN THE DOOR
Do not worry,it won’t get to that stage because you are not winning and you know it. Upnd always start acting like they have won even before people have voted. They will cry again.
No sane human can vote a tribal party like upnd unless you want to see only certain tribe in civil service
I don’t think the UPND will embark on such a destructive expedition which will ruin peoples careers and lives. Zambia is a democracy and people will be allowed to affiliate with political parties of their own choice without being threatened with punitive actions. We have some of children, brothers and sisters thrown out of employment in national interest etc without regard how they are going to survive. The civil service is not for any political party but there to serve the citizens.
