Out-going Eastern Province Permanent Secretary, Emmanuel Mwamba defends President, Michael Sata‘s decision to transfer him to Western Province.

Out-going Eastern Province Permanent Secretary, Emmanuel Mwamba has defended President, Michael Sata over his decision to transfer him to Western Province.
The transfer, which came barely two months after Mr. Mwamba was transferred from Northern Province to Eastern, has been received with mixed feelings in different sectors.
Mr. Mwamba says that people should understand that the president has the right to transfer any civil servant to ensure that government performs.
He however, told Breeze News that he hopes that the new permanent secretary, Bert Mushala will continue to implement developmental plans, which he had put in place.
The Church, Chiefs and the Patriotic Front Provincial Committee in Eastern Province are among those that have requested President Sata to consider allowing Mr. Mwamba to stay in Eastern Province as he had initiated a lot of development programs which they feared, might not be carried out with his recent transfer.
President Michael Sata recently transferred Mr. Mwamba from Eastern Province to Western in a swap with his counterpart Bert Mushala.
