The general public across the country has reacted to the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) billboards with mixed views.
And Eastern provincial administration has since directed all District Commissioners (DC’s) to bring down all UNICEF billboards bearing the Open Defecation Free (ODF) zones message.
The Provincial Deputy Permanent Secretary (DPS) Patrick Mwanawasa observes that the billboards are bearing dehumanizing messages.
Mr. Mwanawasa says Zambia regards human dignity as paramount which cannot be compared to any piece of silver and as such the said billboards must be brought down.
He however notes that in as much as the donor community is doing everything possible to uplifting people’s live, the erecting of such billboards is not suitable.
