The Local Government Service Commission has commenced the swear-in ceremony for Human Resource Committee Members from all 16 districts in Western Province, with the event currently underway in Mongu.
The ceremony is being presided over by Acting Commission Chairperson Brian Ndumba, accompanied by fellow commissioners.
These Human Resource Management Committees are mandated to oversee key HR functions within local authorities, including personnel management, staff development, performance appraisal, and employee relations. Their authority is derived from the Service Commissions Act No. 10 of 2016, which aims to promote transparent and efficient HR practices across Zambia’s local government service.
The swearing-in marks a significant step toward strengthening institutional capacity and accountability in public service delivery at the district level.
