CARITAS ZAMBIA QUESTIONS PRESIDENT HICHILEMA’S “RUTHLESS” REMARK
By Philip Sikainda Jr
Caritas Zambia Executive Director Dr. Gabriel Mapulanga has questioned President Hakainde Hichilema’s recent statement that he will be ruthless in his second term, saying the remark contradicts the principles of servant leadership.
During the commissioning of phase two of the US$1.6 billion United Capital Fertilizer Plant on Tuesday, President Hichilema said he will be ruthless towards anyone who delays government programmes.
But Dr. Mapulanga says leadership should be anchored on servant leadership and promoting the common good and that leaders at all levels are supposed to be servants of the people.
He says the role of the state is to ensure there is order and that people are able to live in dignity, and not to oppress citizens.
Speaking to Phoenix News, Dr. Mapulanga adds that proper leadership should be anchored on fairness and fighting crime and corruption.
