Remain neutral, Mundubile advises civil servants
By Ludia Ngwadzai
NATIONAL Reconciliation Party for Unity and Prosperity (NRPUP) presidential candidate Brian Mundubile has urged all public institutions to remain neutral and allow Zambians to decide freely in the August 13 elections.
In a statement, Mundubile expressed concern about reports of some public institutions engaging in activities that risked undermining confidence in the electoral process.
“My appeal is straightforward: let every public institution remain neutral and allow the Zambian people to decide freely at the ballot box,” he said.
Mundubile assured teachers, council workers and all civil servants that an NRPUP government would respect their professionalism and protect them from political interference.
“You have a constitutional duty to remain professional, impartial and to serve all Zambians without political influence,” he said.
Mundubile said the NRPUP was committed to improving the civil servant’s welfare, restoring professionalism in public service, reducing political interference and implementing reforms such as a debt swap to strengthen councils and improve service delivery.
He said the coming elections should be decided by the people and not by fear, intimidation or misuse of public institutions.
“Our campaign remains focused on practical solutions: creating jobs, supporting farmers, empowering young people, expanding opportunities in the mining sector, improving public services and building an economy that works for every Zambian. On 13 August, let us choose hope, unity and meaningful change. Aleya! Ukuya kwena aleya [President Hakainde Hichilema is going, whether he likes it or not]!” Mundubile said.
