LUSAKA MAYOR WILSON KALUMBA SHOULD RESIGN
Dear Editor,
THE problem in Zambia is not the political leaders but the civil servants (civil serpents) who need to be suspended or dismissed if they can’t cope.
The attitude of permanent secretaries and their deputies stinks of the typical Zambian inertia.
You don’t expect a President to ring a mayor or Permanent secretary to put water in a toilet cistern before using it, but it seems our inept civil serpents expect political leaders to think for them.
President Lungu please save the legacy of your presidency by suspending this inept civil service and replace with it people prepared to work.
Why are district councils across the country failing to pick up garbage?
Is Zambia in short of intelligent people?
In all honest, that sleeping Kalumba has been a real big joke Lusaka has ever had for a Mayor.
He was obsessed about silly schemes and making headlines about talk time garbage collection. Look at the young men running Kitwe and Luanshya, they did the basics, cleaned out the vendors and today Kitwe and Luanshya have no cholera.
When that Mayor of Kitwe was busy flushing out vendors, this sleeping Lusaka Mayor was busy encouraging them to even open more street vending stores on the streets.. .and who is the loser now? On whom is the Joke now?
Is there a way a city can RECALL a Mayor. This Lusaka Mayor ought to resign and we call for a by-election.
He is not fit to be a Mayor of a Capital City. Let him go and be a Mayor for a PF branch in Chazanga or some primitive places like that.
