President Sata has with immediate effect transferred newly appointed Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Services Permanent Secretary, Wamunyima Muwana to Lusaka Province in the same capacity.
Steven Mwansa who was Permanent Secretary at Ministry of Commerce has been transferred to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Services in same capacity.
Yesterday, October 28, 2013 President Sata told off Emmanuel Mwamba for issuing Nationwide broadcasting licenses to two private Radio Station and transferred him from Ministry of Information to Cabinet office.
President Sata also directed that the licenses be revoked from the private Radio Stations.
“You come, you are Mr Emmanuel Mwamba, you give coverage to all of them so that Mr HH (opposition UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema) can now go and stand on Radio Phoenix. Mr Mwamba is there smiling. Have you seen? We are sitting here, the people who are killing our own people, there are there. The young people you bring. Can you tell me the justification,” said President Sata before a Cabinet meeting at State House.
While in opposition Sata had promised that he was going to liberalize the airwaves by issuing national licenses to private Radio and Television stations which he used so much. He used to say that the Media should be limited with their inability to have equipment and not regulations.
Ba President does things on impulse. He meant well but he ignores procedures. Firstly who recommended Wamunyima Muwana, was it Mwansa Kapeya or the George Chellah.
Secondly, was the President briefed that Muwana has never run an institution before and promoting over his superiors was itself irregular because his bosses will now have to report to him. In the army a corporal does not become Army Commander. You have to follow Hierarchy.
Thirdly, was the OP consulted or was Secretary to the Cabinet consulted. Running a country is not the same as running a Kantemba at Farmers House. This shows that the President lacks basic managerial skills. The country is literally on auto pilot. Where a vice president can be blasted in public, when the decorum requires that you ring him in private.
Sata is President for all of us Zambians and we should mindful of how we address him. He will error here and there in his ruling but let us advise him properly in carrying his duties. Remember he is an old man too in age. Cane his ministers and some permanent Secretaries who have failed him in following the SATA PF manifesto. Some can not even debate properly in parliament especially during question and answer session. Just look at some men who even the opposition thought would deliever but the guys are a shadow of themselves after given ministerial positions. Nomba ba Sata kuti bachita shani? fire all of them and start afresh? No but bit by bit others will learn while others will fall off. Goodbye Emmanuel Mwamba. Next should be a number of deputy ministers to reduce the blooted cabinet. Disolve the office of DCs. and causion some ministers such as O. Mwaliteta, F. Shameenda, Cheenda, R. Sichinga, W.Kabimba who have failed to run their ministerial jobs effectively.
Making mistakes is normal, but when the mistakes are just too many it becomes a problem, we will be wasting a lot of time trying to resolve the problems instead of progressing.
MC is a Joker!!
The man just realised that he cannot put a “wrong” man from his nemesis (Barotseland) in such a sensitive position. Advisers must be doing a good job.
Please sticky to issues, NO INSULTS!
‘sticky’ to issues.. you should all realise that the english language is not our first language period. You point a finger at your friend meanwhile the rest are pointing at you. Even me, I could have made a mistake right now. Anyway, the issue at hand! This president has just confirmed all the reasons I never wanted him to rule our country.
I hate bng a Zambian under PF !!Which school did this President went to ?
@ “which school did this president went to” awe mwansekesha mwandini which school did you attend yourself, your english teacher must be fired. fye bashasambilila twabakobino.

When Dr Mumba said Sata is a master of confusion, it was taken lightly but it is time to start rethinking. The man is indeed a grandmaster of confusion.
awe mr.president. twanaka sana. what kind of governance is this. you have no clue of what you are doing. am very angry with you.
Trial and error method!,
