Zambia’s Hakainde Hichilema Works 8 Months Without Salary

The Zambian Ministry of Finance has disclosed that Zambia’s President Hakainde Hichilema popularly known as Bally has gone 8 months without a government salary from the time Zambians voted for him as Head of State on the 12th August 2021.

When asked why? Ministry of Finance sources said that each time efforts to pay the President are made, the president responds by saying, “Let’s focus on working for the people of Zambia. It is service to the people and not self-service”.

And President Hakainde Hichilema has maintained his position that he does not want to be given thousands of titles such as His Excellency but that he would rather be addressed as Mr. President.

Asked why? Sources stated that such titles breed dictators and worshipping of people and that it is not titles that deliver work but oneself adding clamour for titles may be taken for an inferiority complex.
