Senior chief Nzamane of the Ngoni people of Eastern Province has urged that the best way to handle diplomatic rescissions is for the diplomats to submit their qualifications and consider sending them back on that basis, and not on tribal considerations.
And chief Nzamane says he hopes to see a fulfillment of the electoral promises given to the Zambian people by the ruling UPND in 2022.
Speaking with Daily Revelation, chief Nzamane said qualifications should be the ultimate requisite for people to serve in foreign missions.
“I advise that the best way to handle the diplomatic issue (rescissions) is to allow the diplomats submit their CVs to consider their qualifications and consider sending them back into the service on that basis and not on any tribal concerns,” chief Nzamane said. “When diplomats are serving some get to have the experience and therefore the best is to get their CVs and see what their qualifications are and then consider sending them back on that basis.”
The chief said in the past diplomats have been dumped into the foreign service appointments could not be found to appease them locally and therefore it was found convenient that they be posted into the foreign missions, provided that only ambassadors had some sufficient diplomatic qualifications.
Chief Nzamane further hoped to see a fulfillment of the campaign promises made by the UPND, in view of the increments in fuel and the coming adjustments to the electricity tariffs.
“We hope that next year there will be a fulfillment in terms of the promises that were given to the Zambian people by the new government,” said chief Nzamane.
