Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>We have received numerous reports of senior civil servants across all the government ministries who have been sent on unsolicited leave based on their perceived political affiliations.<\/p>\n

0ver 400 directors from ministries and state owned enterprises (SOE\u2019s) have been sidelined in the on going UPND purge of senior government officials and former diplomats.<\/p>\n

Senior professional diplomats who once served the country in various foreign missions have not had their personal household belongings brought back home. Making their lives extremely hard.<\/p>\n

We understand that President Hakainde Hichilema reserves the constitutional right to chose his own team. However, he has no constitutional right to segregate a Zambian based on tribe or the previous appointing authority.<\/p>\n

We challenge Government to state and clarify the following in national interest? 1. How many civil servants in the diplomatic service have been recalled and their basic personal goods not repatriated?<\/p>\n

2. How many senior civil servants across ministries have been sent on unsolicited leave or pending reassignment but still drawing salaries?<\/p>\n

3. How many police officers have been sent on forced leave since 2021 up to date?<\/p>\n

4. How many journalists have been sent on forced leave at the state owned media houses, both print and electronic?<\/p>\n

5. How many senior police officers and government officials have had their salaries downgraded without any proper explanation?<\/p>\n

We urge President Hichilema and his administration to promptly reassign the affected officers and have their personal household belongings brought home as per conditions of service.<\/p>\n

To punish a Zambian simply because of their tribe or perceived political affiliation is barbaric and against Christian values the President is sworn to promote and safeguard.<\/p>\n
