Wynter Kabimba, the leader of the Opposition Economic Front Party, has voiced his disapproval of President Hakainde Hichilema’s handling of poor ministerial performance over the last three years. Kabimba believes that the President has failed to take decisive action by not implementing significant reshuffles or dismissals within his cabinet.
This criticism highlights the concern that Kabimba has regarding the President’s ability to effectively address and rectify underperforming ministers, which he believes is crucial for the overall progress and development of the country.
In the aftermath of President Hichilema’s recent overhaul of several service commissions and the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC), Mr. Kabimba has expressed his thoughts on the matter. His comments have emerged as a response to the significant changes made by President Hichilema, which were announced on Tuesday.
It is truly disheartening to observe the President’s seeming hesitance in taking firm action against ministers who are clearly underperforming, especially considering the numerous challenges our country is currently grappling with.
Mr. Kabimba stressed the utmost importance of accountability and effective governance, shedding light on the potential link between the country’s challenges and the underperformance of specific government officials. By highlighting the significance of holding individuals responsible for their actions, he emphasized the need for a more efficient and transparent administration.
Mr. Kabimba’s remarks underscored the belief that addressing these issues head-on is crucial for the overall progress and development of the nation.
According to Mr. Kabimba, the recent changes being implemented fail to tackle the issue of incompetence among high-ranking government officials, resulting in a continued decline in the quality of public services. He believes that these changes do not effectively address the root cause of the problem, which has been hindering the delivery of efficient services to the public. Mr. Kabimba emphasizes the need for a more comprehensive approach to address the issue of incompetence and ensure that government officials are held accountable for their actions, ultimately leading to improved service delivery for the citizens.
