Two points to note here:
1. Prof Chirwa is a fake, he was taking ZR nowhere.
2. The monthly turnover of ZR is less than $35,000

Thankyou

There is nothing wrong with prof chirwa salary,provided he is able to deliver,make zambia railways viable and profitable entity.Education should pay with in accordance with skills and expertise,so chirwa is right to demand that much.What is just wrong,if at all he is involved in corrupt activities.

you nincompoop. ZRL is a struggling company that has been brutally raped by foreign investors over the past years !!!!!!. the company does not have any major money spinning products at the moment and are simply running on savings from some well placed inherited assets from Cecil Rhodes! You cannot surely compare it to a large mining firm with a a turn over of over 500 million-1 billion USD. that’s just ridiculous and defies the rules of bench marking!!!!!! what ZRL needs right now are people willing to sacrifice to get the firm up and running before they can start ripping huge benefits like big pay checks. Learn from the late Steve Jobs. The man worked a year for a dollar till Apple was back on its feet. Am not saying Clive should get paid a dollar but surely can we please see some effort to bring the company back to life with a little sacrifice!!!!!!!

The board/people fighting Prof Clive Chirwa are simply being used by the elite business tycoons in the transport
sector. What this means is that, onced the morden rail system is fully implemented they would be a sharp colapse of
of business in the transport sector. Transportation of Oil, Minerals, food products, humans and in general
import and export will all be left with the new TAZARA.

The advantage of revamping this sector is that, it will definately reduce the cost of doing business. For instance,
Lumwana mine will be able to export its minirals direct from solwezi to either Tanzania or
South african sea ports. A farmer in zambia regardless of where are, will be able to sale their maize in time without
waiting for time waisting trucks to carry their produce. The other benefit is that our roads shall be spared from
unnecessary damages on which the government spend billions on repair works.

Then the salary for prof Chirwa is just okay compared to the benefits that poor zambians shall get even our countries economy as a whole.
The 25% demanded is a bit on the higher side but its a good idea, am sure those in business will understand.

In conclution, Chirwa is fighting big forces beyond his complehension. i just pray that his excellency the president helps him through.
As we all know, is the Man of Action.

My thoughts exactly! ZRL is not making any money at all,so where do you expect the money to pay the Chirwas and the board those huge salaries?let them work first and they will reap later! If they do not want,leave so that people who are ready to sacrifice can do the job,simple!

So what happens when we start giving 25 % shares to CEO s for each contract served for the next 20 years, are we going to be left with anything? Greedy Mambala. Build your own personal rail line

The problem was THAT SASSA WAS JEALOUS OF CHIRWA COZ HE HAS NEVER EVEN SEEN THAT KIND OF MONEY IN HIS LIFE and he was busy comparing himself with Chirwa. Thats why they were holding many board meeting so they can milk the cow as well – all out of jealous.
