The Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA), has refused to comment on the legalities and reasons behind the termination of the contract for the well-known journalist Brian Mwale following his appointment at the Agency after his resignation from his former job at ZNBC.
Newly appointed ZEMA Director General Godfrey Mwiinga has been called out as the person that had ochestrated and reported to have blessed the termination which members of the public have termed as harsh and aimed at destroying the talented journalists career.
The Popular ZNBC journalist and former Assistant Assignments Editor for ZNBC TV 1 is reported to have been duped into resigning from his permanent Job at the national broadcaster only for his new contract to be terminated at his prospective new employer Zambia Environmental Management Agency – ZEMA.
Recently, Mwale in a Facebook write-up shared that the new ZEMA DG terminated his new contract pending his report for unknown reasons after some known ZNBC Reporter engaged political players who influenced his termination on allegations of him being a PF Cadre.
“For the avoidance of doubt, some of you may know that my resignation was necessitated by a job offer as Corporate Affairs Manager at ZEMA whose contract was signed last year, and was set to report on Feb 1. However, in a dramatic turn of events my contract was terminated by the new DG for unknown reasons within hours of him reporting”.
“But the word is that some known ZNBC Reporter engaged political players who influenced the termination on allegations of me being a PF Cadre. Being linked to a party that almost kicked me out of ZNBC on allegations that I was opposition. Records are there with HR,” posted Mwale on his Facebook page.
When contacted by the Zambian Business Times – ZBT, for a comment ZEMA could not comment on the matter due to unknown reasons.
