The president is a good humble man who must not be pressured into making wrong decisions. Its not right to even have this discussion so soon after amending the constitution.

At a time when they are given the responsibility of framing policy to drive the economic agenda of our country , they think of discussing policy that is irrelevant to us. Selfish people #nodeputyministers

Bringing back the position of Deputy Minister is NOT an Austerity Measure, we need better economic measure not this nonsense.

Deputy Minister Offices are a waste of resources! Permanent secretaries are enough. Whoever thought about reintroducing such offices is very selfish. Our economy if ailing, it is crumbling; the government should be thinking about creating resources through diversification income-generating base, and to reduce unnecessary spending! I repeat; NO to deputy ministers!

No need for deputy ministers who will earn tax free income for doing nothing whilst the few zambian workers are made to pay 37.5% paye

Each ministry is run by A permanent secretary and his directors and heads of department. The minister is a policy maker only. The minister does not need a deputy. In this era of asking citizens to tighten their belts by paying more in taxes, it is illogical to unnecessarily increase the size of government with non value adding positions such as deputy minister. Let us use that money for value creating activities in our economy. Besides it took us 10 years to develop that constitution; we can't just amend anyhow without proper debate as to the merits and demerits of such a move.

This is unacceptable. ...when will these politicians realise that politics is about service and not their stomachs. The Constitution is a sacrosanct document it cannot be changed every time u feel like it this is why we wanted a people driven constitution

Our salaries are already being strained, as a nation we can't afford to employee deputy ministers
