NEPOTISM AND CORRUPTION DENOTES THE CENSUS ENUMERATORS RECRUITMENT.
A successful UPND ruling party must completely do away with the old habit of the past regimes. The reports of nepotism and corruption exhibited by the UPND officials and cadres during the 2022 census enumerators recruitment is very unfortunate.
"IT IS EXTREMELY SAD THAT THOSE THAT NEITHER APPLIED NOR SAT FOR THE APTITUDE TESTS BUT HAD CONNECTIONS ARE THE MAJORITY THAT WERE PICKED."
Reports from chipata, mazabuka, mufulira, zambezi, kabwe, ndola districts all indicate that ruling party officials and cadres generated their own lists through the district commissioners away from the formal process.
We understand that UPND members and cadres need jobs, but the Nation must not be held at ransom at all. Every Zambian must be given an equal opportunity to apply and be selected on merit not on the basis of being part of the ruling party.
We appeal to President Hichilema and and his Government to cancel the current census enumerators recruitment process and start afresh. Corruption and nepotism in national programmes must not be entertained at all cost.
