Former Prime Minister of Barotseland, Clement Sinyinda has resigned as a Commissioner at the Teaching Service Commission of Zambia following a statement issued by President Hakainde Hichilema when addressing Zambia’s Permanent Secretaries on 18th January, 2024 at the Mulungushi International Conference Centre.
It is believed that president Hichilema stated that “there is no country called Western Province or Barotseland” which was considered to be disrespectful to the people of Litunga, Kuta and Barotseland.
The Former Prime Minister laments that, he pondered and waited patiently believing that the president will be remorseful enough to apologize to Litunga, Kuta as well as the people of Barotseland but to no avail, nothing to that effect has been heard.
Mr Clement has further advised all stakeholders to resist from commenting on the Barotseland Issue highlighting that the issue is too sensitive.
