civil servants to stop in fighting against their departments

 THE Ministry of tourism Slyvia Masebo has called on civil servants
to stop in fighting against their departments in the country so that
they can foster national development.
She said there is no need for the people to fight over the
implementation of Government programmes.
Speaking in Livingstone at New Fairmount hotel during the UNWTO local
organising committee, she said too much time was being wasted on
talking than on implementation of the programmes.
“We must talk less and implement government programmes, as all the
programmes that are talking about are for the Government,” she said.
She said that she had observed that there is tendency by government
department and ministries to fight each other.
She said civil be mindful that whatever they doing was for the Zambian
people and that for the same Government and head of state thus no need
to fight amongst each other.
Ms Masebo said that civil servant should not undermine government programmes.
She also reminded those that were de-campaigning government programmes
to desist from doing so.
 She said there was need for the civil servants to do the right as not
was not good for the country.
“You should do the right thing so before you get me fired, I will also
ensure that you are the first to go,” she warned.
Ms masebo said that she would not want to be part of something that would fail.
“Don’t put my job on the chopping board because I will ensure that
yours is the first,” she said.
 The minister expressed disappointment the poor telecommunication
network in Livingstone from the mobile service providers.
 She said that she was shocked that mobile service provider was
charging her international charges for local calls.
She said the network in Livingstone is very irritating.
Charismar general manager Robert Macron called the UNWTO committee on
the entertainment to approach his hotel so that the arts can display
their artifacts.
A Livingstone resident Humprey Mhango also called on the need for the
private and public sector to have quarterly meetings.
 He said the information flow about what was going on in the public
sector was not there.
