LET DCS BE REMOVED FROM GOV’T PAY ROLL – MSONI

Nason Msoni’s statement critiques President Hakainde Hichilema’s position on District Commissioners (DCs) and their roles. Msoni argues that DCs should be removed from the government payroll and instead be paid by the ruling party, the UPND, in line with Hichilema’s assertion that DCs are party servants rather than civil servants.

Msoni believes this shift would undermine service delivery and create potential discrimination, as DCs being perceived as party loyalists might favor those who support the ruling party, disadvantaging others. He is concerned that this approach could compromise impartiality in public service and lead to political bias in district administration.
