President Hakainde Hichilema has wondered why Lusaka City Council officers have not been paid despite his government ensuring that the salary arrears for all local authorities of about 15 months are settled.
Speaking during a cleaning exercise to mark the first Kenneth Kaunda Day in honor of the late First Republican President, President Hichilema says his government has been very organized in addressing issues affecting councils.
President Hichilema says it is unfortunate that the council workers protested against the non-payment of their salaries but has called for patience saying the ministry of finance is aware and that he will ensure that is corrected.
Meanwhile, President Hichilema says the cholera situation in the country should be taken serious and stakeholders must ensure that it does not exceed the current number of infections recorded so far.
The head of state says the fight against Cholera should not be left to government alone hence all citizens should practice precautionary measures.
Why is he wondering? In opposition he was always blaming Edgar and PF. He should know better than everyone.
Sir you were together with the minister of Local government ( Gary) and the Mayor of Lusaka yesterday. You mean even them were not aware that the workers have not been paid?
Council workers refused to clear the dirty in the CBD due to non payment of salaries. Then the president had to go and do the cleaning of the city himself. Mr. President…..do we have a minister for the councils? Do we have a mayor and Town clerk for Lusaka?
This is the most useless government in the history of our country… Oppressing people, abuse of power, making a young girl child to drink beer, no democracy…they talk too much little or no action, cost of living is high,…. Attention seekers , ama selfie captions all over…press conference briefing same things how he was arrested…that is a bitterness spirit… Scandals DPP etc ..
Imwe citani ka dashboard for that man. He should see his indicators mwamsanga so that such embarrassing headlines are not seen again. Me I am now wondering why he is wondering. I am also wondering why he is not firing someone who should be doing his bidding.
The wonder man who doesn’t know what is going on in his own country. He is out of touch.
People didn’t vote you in to give up your meagre salary, they want you to fulfil all those promises you made. Cheeekala
HH kikikikiki this man is not normal….why is he wondering….this man is fake…big kelenka….so he is pretending like he doesn’t know that they haven’t been paid …ZAMBIA WE’RE IN TROUBLE
So somebody needs to be SACKED. But HH doesn’t know how to sack people. He should have sacked Kabuswe over the chaos at Black Mountain, he should have sacked the minister of finance over the abysmal financial governance, he should have sacked Nkombo over the beer issue – but he is INDECISIVE. There is one thing worse than making BAD decisions, and that is making NO decisions!
The president was ill prepared for this exercise. He was overly exposed. He had no right PPE and no safety gloves. Gary the minister had no PPE either. The Mayor of Lusaka borrowed a safety Shirt from some where that did note even fit her. The president kept removing his mask in the in crowd exposing himself to covid. He also seemed to be sneezing a bit and kept touching his nose contrary to Masebo’s health guidelines on Covid.
Apparently when all this was happening, Brenda Tamba Tamba was some where in Northwestern province celebrating the World Safety day and emphasising on the provision of PPE to employees.
Instead of ensuring his workers are paid the minister is busy forcing Kachasu down the throats of children.. And all our toothless president can do is to live in wonderland. Come down from your New Kasama wonderland to Lusaka city Council sir!
this guy ai
This is organized chaos. HH says ‘His Government is organized in addressing issues affecting councils’. yet he does not know if council workers are paid or not.. This is organized chaos
The father doesn’t know that there’s no mealie meal in the house.
