The question is why would the President of ZIPS/CIPS and his entire executive want to represent CIPS, a Professional Body, on a parastatal board? Does ZICA also lobby for members of its executive for representation on the Boards? If they do, this does not make sense as their members account for the organizational resources and their role is restricted to receiving audited accounts and resolving arising conflict and disputes, which role they would not play well if their executive members were involved in line decision making as ZICA through parastatal boards representation. There is need for transparency international to give a clear position on this matter to avoid serious problems in future. ZICA and ZIPS are regulators and policemen and their participation in boards of directors take away their professional independence and opinions. 

This said, all board of directors who served in the previous PF administration must with immediate effect lose their jobs Most of them with full conflict of interest, participated in the Boards instead of being policemen as their members run the show within where they sit on the boards. Their other members are bidders. There is no justifiable reason why the  President of ZIPS should sit on the ZESCO Board. In the UK it does not happen this way due to perceived and real conflict of interest. It is the same for all other professions.  THIS HAS TO COME TO AN END UNDER THE UPND. LET PEOPLE STRICTLY STICK TO THEIR PRIMARY ROLES. If they preside over a matter at the Board which back fires, how will they take such a matter up as a profession? That the President participated in a board meeting? It will be a scandal of the century! UPND must help them get out of all BOARDS and let them stick to their original mandate.

Don’t be lethargic and slow. The PF cadres in the whole govt system are out to frustrate your agenda. The police, the judiciary and the whole civil service is full of PF cadres who were appointed on tribal or political basis. There should be wholesale sackings to start a New Dawn.
