“IT’S AN 8-HOUR ECONOMY, NOT A 24-HOUR ECONOMY!” -Sean Tembo BLASTS GOVERNMENT AFTER ECZ OFFICIALS KNOCKED OFF AT 17:00.
By Staff Reporter
Former PeP president Sean Tembo has asked government to reconsider the “24-hour economy” narrative, suggesting it be renamed an “8-hour economy.”
His remarks came after he and his party president Chanda Katotobwe reportedly went to pay a K100,000 presidential nomination fee at the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ), only to find that officers had already knocked off around 17:00.
Tembo argued that such working hours do not reflect a true 24-hour economy, as government services especially critical ones like electoral processes should be accessible beyond standard closing times if the policy is to be taken seriously.

A man who cannot keep to simple things like schedules should not be anywhere near the corridors of power.
The bible says, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much and whoever is dishonest with little will also be dishonest with much”, (Luke 16:10).
