Pressure is mounting from stakeholders over Ministry of Health minister Elijah Muchima’s decision to dismiss acting director general of the Zambia Medicines and Medical Supplies Agency ZAMMSA.
Recently, Mr. Muchima unceremoniously at a public function fired the ZAMMSA acting director General.
And the Zambia Union of Pharmacy Professionals has questioned the decision labelling it as ill timed.
General Secretary Obby Chomba has since called for the reinstatement of the acting ZAMMSA director general with immediate effect.
Mr. Chomba has since threatened that his members will protest if the decision is not revisited stating that the minister acted unprofessional in the manner in which he dismissed the D.G.
He said long are the days in which civil servants were threatened and dismissed in a manner that is unprofessional.
