Newly appointed Eastern province Minister Charles Banda has
called for discipline and hard work from PF party cadres and government workers
in the area.
Mr Banda took a swipe at party cadres in Chadiza who locked
out the newly appointed District Commissioner Paul Phiri adding that he will
not tolerate that kind of indiscipline.
Mr Banda said the action of locking out the District
Commissioner was tantamount to insulting President Sata who is the appointing
authority.
Mr Banda was speaking in his office this week upon taking
over the office from Solomon Mbuzi who has been deployed to the foreign
service.
The Provincial Minister said the party had structures in
which cadres can air their grievances as opposed to exhibiting such
indiscipline.
He challenged party cadres who are not happy with the
president and party’s actions to resign before their hounded out of the party.
He said party cadres and civil servants should work hard to
develop Eastern province adding that unity was paramount to achieve the goal.
And outgoing Provincial Minister Solomon Mbuzi called on all
government and party officials to give the new minister the support.
Mr Mbuzi said he will be available for advice from time to
time should Mr Banda need it.
Meanwhile Mr Banda was received to a rousing welcome by a
mob of cyclists and some taxi drivers who escorted him from Lundazi turn off to
his office.
