Opposition party youth leader, Kang’ombe, takes swipe at politicians

Patriotic Front (PF) youth chairperson Christopher Kang’ombe has said the benchmark for leadership must be raised to ensure that representatives are worthy of the description “effective public servant”.

“The biggest tragedy in most countries is that anyone with the courage to speak in front of people, sing a campaign song and make one or two donations is considered a very good leader,” he posted on his official social media handle.

He remained optimistic that Zambians with the integrity, the skills set and understanding of what needs to be done would offer themselves for public office.

“I share these reflections as I continue reading about what it took for developed countries to reach the great milestones attained so far,” Kang’ombe said.
