Africa-Press – Zambia. There has been a lot of anxiety and apprehension over delayed appointments to the New Dawn government by members of the UPND together with its Alliance Partners. This has led to some members who feel they deserve a token of appreciation for their contribution to the August 12 elections victory to utilize unorthodox means to lobby for appointment as well as secure appointments.
This unfortunate situation has created a level of apprehension among ordinary members and members of the party support base; however, I would like to urge members of the UPND, its Alliance Partners as well as ordinary party members to exercise patience and allow the president conclude this process without lobbying and using unorthodox means to secure appointments.
I can assure you that the president is fully aware and appreciates people’s contributions to this victory because this victory could not be attained by any one individual but was a result of collective efforts by so many people including some we may never know of or hear of the roles they played to guarantee this victory. It is for this reason that we must all strive to support the president in his appointments even when it may appear as though some of his appointments are individuals we may not know of or be aware of their contributions to the victory.
Lastly but not the least, I want to urge those of you who are highly expectant of being appointed to government at whatever level that as the president keeps on reminding you to search your souls not only on account of potential financial abuse but also out of a realization of the serious task of rebuilding the country which lies ahead. This task will require dedication, hard work, passion and patriotism to the nation. The burden you will be carrying is so huge that if you don’t search your souls, reflect and ensure that you are prepared for the work that you are supposed to do, you will be doing a great disservice to the people of Zambia who are highly expectant of a speedy turnaround of our country’s economic fortunes. Bally’s government will not be business as usual.-Munati Television
