The state has expressed concern with reports that some civil servants in Eastern Province are actively involved in politics.
Minister of General Education Dr. John Phiri says it is illegal for civil servants to be partisan.
This is in reference to Chipaila Mbewe who is a Teacher at Nyimba Secondary School and a District Patriotic Front-PF Vice treasury in the area.
Meanwhile, Nyimba District Education Board Secretary Joyce Shimwanza has confirmed that Mr. Mbewe is actively involved in politics and has since reported him to the Provincial Education Officer.
Efforts to get a comment from Mbewe failed as his phones were off.
