“What I know is that before anyone is hired, there are terms and conditions. How come those terms are an issue now? If the conditions were enormous and unrealistic, they should have not hired in the first place. Period.
Those who disagree undermine the decision of the appointing authority altogether.

So even if he is corrupt or crooked, jerabo or whatever, that fact is that this contract was signed and both parties agreed. Full stop.
That is why you have been making careless mistakes of putting conductors and farmers into statehouse and then start crying later…”

So this board would be very happy to have a white man (no harm meant)take over Clive’s position even if he is paid twice what Clive is getting. We need to get serious as a nation and look beyond our stomachs. This board as can be seen has already failed the zambians. The evidence is the position of ZRL and its performance in the last few years.

How interesting to hear Prof. Saasa talk of Professor Chirwa as a novice. We know how Saasa got his professorship from UNZA through his tribesmen, Mwauluka and others, and their tribal cousins without nothing much to show for. Saasa cannot even compare himself to Chirwa. Saasa has not even supervised a single PhD, despite being a professor. Chirwa has supervised many PhDs and MAs,has served as external examiners for PhD and MA students, has published many articles in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals has written several books as against Saasa’s only one known book. Chirwa has also presented papers at many international conferences. In addition, Chirwa has contributed to a number of innovations in engineering apart from just writing. People should visit the Bolton website and see for themselves or google Prof. Chirwa and see his contributions in the world of engineering. Saasa should not try to disparage such an accomplished man’s achievements for which he has even received international recognition. It is cheap of Saasa to do that especially that he would want others to see him as an intellectual. Now Musokotwane in their usual tribal way of dealing with matters has jumped to Saasa’s defence.

People lets be realistic and not run to conclusions. These issues would not have been there if the Government engaged a MUZUNGU. Chirwa deserves all his entitlements, he is not only learned but experienced and exposed.I think Ba Saasa is just jelous because a fellow prof is getting than he is. Needless to say, the man is not from the village for you to give him any other accomodation. What i know is that before anyone is hired,there are terms and conditions. How come those terms are an issue now? If the conditions were enormous and unrealistic, they should have not hired in in the first place. Period

There’s nothing like Prof Saasa felling jealousy you people! The Board comprised people like 3/4 PSs and other distinguished personalities and not Saasa alone. Prof Chirwa is milking an already thin and feeble cow. May be we should wait for the ACC to complete its work thoroughly

K205, 819,132.33. If Sola you are right an equivalent of GP26,000 is about that figure, So if Chirwa was asking for 250,000,000, makes sense to me.
Oliva saasa those are sour grapes. and petty jeleous.
