The decision by Hichilema to offer government jobs to 15 volunteer nurses who attended his campaign rally is most irresponsible. This is because employment into the civil service should follow normal, merit-based recruitment processes and procedures, not whether or not one is present at a politician’s campaign rally.
What Hichilema has done is, in fact, a form of corruption because he has abused his official position to imagine himself as a Father Christmas who can dish out government jobs to his supporters willy-nilly.
The implication of Hichilema’s actions is that serving as a volunteer nurse does not guarantee one an automatic progression into the civil service unless they also attend Hichilema’s rallies. This is patronage politics at its best.
What is the fate of the many volunteer nurses who do either not attend Hichilema’s rallies or do not support the ruling party’s presidential candidate?
Having failed to get people to his rallies without the support of musicians, Hichilema is now enticing thousands of unemployed Zambians to attend his rallies for on-the-spot job handouts!
Zambia deserves better leadership.
