The unveiling ceremony was officiated by Minister of Technology and Science Felix Mutati, who called for transparency, unity and collective decision-making.
Mutati challenged the board to handle internal disagreements constructively while upholding risk management at all levels.
He reminded the new board that the mandate before them is heavy, emphasising that the board must operate in alignment with national priorities and remain firmly accountable to the citizens.
“You don’t exist in isolation, you exist to assist us deliver on our priorities as government and to ensure a safe environment for the people.”
” You also assist to ensure that resources given to you whether from government or statutory instruments are properly accounted for because that money is for the citizens,” he stated.
Mutati also urged the new board to grow its revenue base without compromising financial discipline.
He warned that government will not hesitate to act if the board fails to uphold accountability and performance standards.
“If management doesn’t perform to your expectation, as a board you have the responsibility to take appropriate action because if you don’t, we will take appropriate action on you,” Mutati cautioned.
He stressed that transparency, accountability, collective responsibility and sound risk management must guide every decision the board makes.
“Take responsibility by ensuring that management remains aligned and works in the best interest of the people of Zambia,” added Mutati.
Meanwhile, the new board chairperson Msafiri Sinkala pledged to steer the authority with firmness, keep a close eye on performance and make sure the institution meets its target in a manner that reassures the public and restores confidence in the sector.
