Government decentralizes recruitment of officers in the civil service

By Staff Reporter, Lusaka 

Public Service Management Division (PSMD) Permanent Secretary Boniface Chimbwali says government has decentralized the recruitment of officers in the civil service to provincial administrations. 

Mr Chimbwali said President Edgar Lungu’s administration is determined to create jobs for youths in the country. 

He added that government stands ready to support and empower youths for them to be self-reliant thereby become key players in national development. 

Mr Chimbwali further said government will send adequate staff to health institutions and schools across the country. 

He was reacting to concerns raised by senior chief Mujimanzovu of the Kaonde speaking people of Mushindamo district during the Nkambi traditional ceremony over the weekend. 

Mr Chimbwali has since implored the Northwestern provincial administration to start positioning itself for the huge task of recruiting officers that lies ahead as the country fully implements the decentralization policy.
