Zambia Army Commander, Lieutenant General Sitali Alibuzwi says it is the responsibility of officers heading various branches and departments to ensure that there is accountability in the use of resources.
Speaking at the official opening of the Command Council held at Army Headquarters in Lusaka, Lieutenant General Alibuzwi counselled the general grade officers that he will not tolerate any abuse of resources that are placed under their care.
He has urged the command council to familiarize themselves with the various staff duty instructions so that they are able to ascertain where their various roles end and advised them to continue working together towards finding solutions to challenges, as soldiers look up to them for solutions.
Earlier during the presentation of mementos in honor of retired general grade officers, the Army Commander handed over a certificate of retirement and a rifle to the six retired officers.
Lieutenant general Alibuzwi applauded them for their dedication to duty while serving in the Army and stated that their dedication to duty did not go unnoticed as such they should be open to the Army’s call whenever they are called upon.
