President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera on Thursday stormed through the Department of Human Resource Management and Development (DHRMD) at Capital Hill to demand answers and call officials to account for the chronic delays in remitting salaries to public servants.
Chakwera who was accompanied by the country’s Vice President Dr. Saulos Chilima was coming from the launch of a nutrition campaign at Bingu International Convention Center (BICC).
The President directed his motorcade to take him to Capital Hill instead of State House.
From there, His Excellency proceeded to DHRMD, the department responsible, to interrogate the Controlling Officer and express his great dissatisfaction with the delays, the malaise shown by those responsible for resolving the problem, and the excuses given for failing to do so for months.
