Permanent Secretary, Chileshe Mulenga denies failing to work with easterners demanding his removal.

Eastern Province Permanent Secretary Dr Chileshe Mulenga has refuted claims that he has failed to work with the people of Eastern Province.
Dr Mulenga says those championing the cause are against him because he has flashed out corrupt elements who were embezzling public funds for their own benefits.
He was speaking when a team from Water Resources Management Authority, WARMA paid a courtesy call on him yesterday.
Dr Mulenga noted that people in Eastern province are generally hard working and that those making noise, there interest was to misuse resources for personal gain.
He says the role of public workers is to serve the country without segregation.
Recently there have been calls for the removal of Dr. Mulenga as Permanent Secretary from Eastern Province by some quarters.
