Minister of Civic Education and National Unity Timothy Mtambo has reacted to the calls from some that he should be fired for his ministry’s failure to deliver.

According to Mtambo, those calling for his dismissal are doing that out of hatred.

The development comes after, Joyce Chitsulo, Member of Parliament for Mwanza West has asked President Chakwera to fire Timothy Mtambo saying he is failing in his duties.

Chitsulo made claims that Mtambo has failed to educate masses on a number of issues currently affecting the nation.

She cited rising cases of defilement, killings of persons suspected of practicing witchcraft as some of the issues he has failed to address.

Mtambo insists that his ministry has done a lot of work to persuade people off various bad cultures and practices.
