SATA ‘Axe And Fires’ All 10 Zambian Diplomats In Malaysia
REPUBLICAN President Michael Sata has fired all 10 Zambian Embassy Diplomats at Newly opened Malaysian Embassy offices in KualaLumpur, Tumfweko sources have disclosed.
Apparently, the only survival is the High Commissioner who was earlier on fired about a week ago and re-instated in a caretaker capacity according to highly placed sources.
The embassy is just about two and half years old together with all its backroom staff.
Among the fired are eight Innocent civil Servants and three MMD cadres.
Highly placed sources have disclosed and indicated that the replacements would be coming from the inner circle at State House.

There was once reported in-fighting between RBs cadres and civil servants in that embassy as to who is who.

well guys to call a spade a spade in any war there will always be collateral damage it would be a pity if the others are really innocent but then again the man has a duty to also reward some of the people who took risks with him

There is no smoke without fire. It is within your powers, Mr President to get rid of all those elements who might make it difficult for your govt to deliver. After all they have received their rewards in full. It wont be easy for Zambia to develop when corrupt men and women still continue occupying govt offices. You have our full support your excellency.

All civil servants supported government and are still supporting government.MMD are Zambians per law established. Diplomats are political and support government programs abroad. So there is no cadre or cadre. We head and saw a lot about projects from Malaysia such as banks and scholarships. Was this wrong and what will happen to all this work.They are fired because they are not Bembas. MMD is a scpegaot.

SPIN just shut up and continue enjoying with us as this firing will not stop coz these chaps from movement for massive Distruction(MMD) took Zambia for granted for the past 13 years that includes a 10 year tenure of Chiluba and that 3 years of CHI R.B. in the office.This time around we are not in a mood of compassion we are behind H.E.MCS in all is pronouncement and the changes is making by so doing,it will be very easy to fight corruption…so if you benefited from the same corruption wait and see how we are going to fire you and let me warn you that H.E.MCS will use the ammunition he used when firing the DCs..

Tumfweko,what’s the difference between axed and fired?
Molly
October 28, 2011 at 1:27 pm
AXE or FIRE? No need to use BOTH words in the same sentence, Tumfweko! We’ll get the drift either way.
Voice of Reason
October 28, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Civil Servants are seconded as diplomats and once their term comes to an end or they are recalled, as in this case, they go back to Ministry of Foreign Affairs or whatever Ministry they worked in for redeployment. To fire a civil servant their must be gross misconduct that will have to be approved beyond any reasonable doubt. However, you have also diplomats that are employed from other walks of life and these will have their contracts terminated immediately. So it is important that whoever is reporting these stories dig a little bit deeper and get the actual facts instead of these alarming stories of a President that enjoys firing at the slightest whim

Tumfweko is misleading the general public, Editor contact me for free lessons on how to report.

If one is and was a civil servant before becoming a diplomat, surely, he has a position somewhere in the ministry he came from. BUT my fellow Zambians, you must all know that darkness and light will never be together. If firing is the only way available for light to be seen at the end of the tunnel of corruption, we simply remain without much choice but to fire. What do you think you as people in a christian nation why God killed in floods, in trench, in highly venomous snake bites and many more ways? Don’t you think He was firing evil out of evil doers? You can have different answers compared to mine, but don’t forget that Hell has been prepared for non but evil doers. CORRUPT MIND, PEOPLE and GOVERNMENT.

by the time they are done firing nine days will have passed. it is time to work.
get into the ruling party mentality and leave the opposition hat behind. people are expecting miracles in 90 days and if you can’t give them that at least they should start seeing signs of good things to come.

So Malaysia alone had 10 DIPLOMATS(high commissioners/ambassadors)? what a waste of resources by RB! Or is it just Tumfweko and their cizungu?
need some clarification ba Tumfweko!

I visited Malaysia a few months ago when I was on the business trip and I met up with the so called Diplomats living a life of extra luxury in houses and apartments costing 5000-7000 USD per month when the rest of the Zambian’s are living in poverty. I was shocked that they all where driving expensive cars and living at large . The should send an auditor to audit books because honestly there is loads happening, specially the deputy. she was all over KL and living on debts and borrowing beyond her means.
Thanks for saving our tax payers money by recalling this group.

And this is what lacked in the previous president. president Michael Sata is attacking the bull by its horn untill he is convinced that the country is clean and believe you me, he surely will. He already knows how this country has been ruled better than anyone else and he knows where to sweep and how to get better brooms to sweep better

malasya all recalled. hee we know that the pf cadres will take up possitions. i even wonder why a writer would say some politicians. every one in the embassy is a civil servant as long as they save the interest in the country and they are in the embassies.they may have been in political circles, but once appointed, all things change. so their is no polititian or civil sevant as they get the same allowances too and infact the so called civil sevants steal money like in ottawa canada were the accountant and the economic secretary have audit quaries. and nothing has happend to them because they are Bembas.
