UNZA Lecturers Appalled At Nkanda Luo's Recent Statement

Lecturers at UNZA have said that they are appalled by Higher Education Minister Professor Nkandu Luo’s latest attacks on them and CBU.

In an extraordinary statement the Minister was quoted as saying that all lectures at UNZA and CBA who feel neglected due to the Government’s delay in paying their salaries must resign.

The Secretary General Dr Kelvin Mambwe said that Professor Luo’s statements were deeply misplaced.

“UNZALARU would like to believe that the outrageous and appalling remarks by the Minister represent her chosen way of celebrating April Fools’ Day,” Dr Mambwe said.

He added, On behalf of our members, we wish the Minister all the best for the remainder of this day, 1st April 2019. We trust that tomorrow, 2nd April, she would revert to being serious and immediately act to avert a looming work stoppage at both UNZA and CBU owing to the delayed payment of salaries for workers for the month of March.”

Dr Mambwe said “Otherwise we may be persuaded to believe that Luo is not only consciously digging the grave for UNZA and CBU; she is also frighteningly arrogant, impervious to advice, incapable of humility, unaccepting of criticism, and enthralled by vanity.”
