The Road Development Agency (RDA) has announced the resignation of its Director and Chief Executive Officer, Eng. Grace Mutembo, following her request to step down in order to pursue another opportunity. The decision was made during a Special Board Meeting held earlier today, where the Board accepted her request.
In light of this development, the RDA Board has appointed Eng. Jairos Mhango, currently the Director of Road Maintenance, to serve as the Acting Director and Chief Executive Officer for the agency. Eng. Mhango will assume these responsibilities until a permanent replacement is appointed.
The Board expressed its gratitude to Eng. Mutembo for her service and contributions during her tenure with the RDA. “The Board thanks Eng. Grace Mutembo for the services rendered during the period of her employment with the Agency and wishes her all the best in her future endeavors,” the RDA stated in a press release.
The Road Development Agency’s supervision of road contractors is sub-optimal.
That is because ILLEGALLY Michael Satan stole the US $800 million he found in the coffers of the department
She is a real professional. Others is till death do I leave my job. Congratulations.
You are not an engineer, and you know nothing about engineering.
Woman of integrity. I applaud her as well as Dolika Banda who resigned after a lot of attempts by government to influence them.
Dear journalists, please understand there is no such title as Eng. It’s either Mr, Ms, Mrs or indeed Dr.
Her father was a humble man who graduated from the University of Zambia. It’s not surprising.
The academic titles that hang around you after qualification are Doctor and Professor. If engineers want these titles they are awaiting them at UNZA and other universities around the world. Otherwise we should call HH Econ Hakainde Hichilema? And Teacher Gary Nkombo?
I do not even like these Dr or Prof titles.. If your name is Mweemba Lubasi, leave it at that. When you go to apply for a job, present the certificate showing that you have a PhD in mechanical engineering. In America, you will never hear people calling themselves Dr Alan Greenspan, Dr Les Aspen, Dr George Schulz, Dr Woodrow Wilson, Dr Ben Sasse, Dr Kristen Sinema, etc… never…
She has been forced out!!!
She has done her part, I wish her success in her future endeavours.
Next Zesco
Kwi? You think he can leave the soup pot he’s enjoying….. like I said these are the people killing our professions reputation.
I guess her hand was forced to resign. People don’t just leave like that.
She was forced out
What significant projects have been undertaken during her tenure? None. Also, supervision of contractors is sub-par, managing roadsides and corrosion very average. Subcontract this whole thing to white South Africans and you would be shocked.
Quite a mentally colonised being!! You forget that everything is influenced by politics!! The same S.Africans you are talking about can come here and employ the same Zambians we disrespect and still get the same results. Just look at what has been happening in the mining sector? Who kept Mopani running, mining and stockpiling copper ore for the last 3 years or so…Who is still the CEO and other technical staff at this time when Mopani has been privatised and produced the first 200 Metric tonnes from the stockpile?? Zambians, yet you are dreaming about S.Africans!!
Don’t forget everything including Zesco and RDA are run from Community House. That renders your skills valueless. One who enjoys their professional skills will always venture out. Only those who got education for the purpose of getting a job will stay on.
Deja vu, you are tribalist. HH is not the one who stole US $800 million from the RDA, it was your relative Michael Sata. HH is not the one who sunk Zambia into the US $33 billion debt trap, it was your tribesment Michael Satan and Edgar Lungu. When you mess up, you come crying to us to save you. Who surrendered the economy of Zambia to Boers from South Africa? Frederick Chipuba…Who hired a Boer as his vice president? Michael Satan. I rest my case
She stepped down to pursue other opportunities.
Not too sure what to make of this. Wasn’t she part if the management team that oversaw the poor quality road construction? Who would give her a job? Just saying. I guess whoever has offered her another opportunity must be in worse situation than us. To me: good riddance. Her legacy to show for her tenure are poorly designed and dangerous roads which she failed to correct if she wasn’t responsible.
