We the undersigned volunteers and youths of Zambia Red cross society that are part of this humanitarian movement have composed this letter to express our dissatisfaction with the current national youth Advisor Mr. Katongo Collins.

This letter is an expression of our “ vote of no confidence “in Mr. Katongo Collins and his ability to run the affairs of Zambia Red cross society and also representing the youth on the national board ,Regionally and internationally , we understand the severity of this decision and did not arrive at it hastily .

Zambia Red cross society national youth executive must be an executive that makes all youths proud to have put in office , national youth Advisor having been the only member sitting in this executive has not been making decisions on collaborative basics with the best interest of our youth volunteers country wide.

Zambia red cross society has not experienced great vision from our outgoing leader Mr. Katongo, volunteers have been underestimated because of the levels of education acquired, their low level acquired skills and have been considered incompetent by Mr. Katongo , in ZRCS we ought to respect and support not forgetting to train and give hope to all our volunteers to allow them fit well in the society and achieve their goals as they give hope to others.

Throughout the past years we as the volunteer youths have had concerns regarding Mr. Katongo’s leadership specifically trust ,collaborations ,decision making ,vision ,his lack of respect for volunteers and communication .we also believe that Mr Katongo Collins has failed to abide by the ZRCS Red cross constitution ,the IFRC youth policy and the ABIDJAN 2017 YOUTH POLICY .

Every volunteer is entitled to good leadership , orderly conduct ,respect and all volunteers must succeed in a climate that sustains a passion for learning and humanity ,Volunteers must succeed when leaders maintain a just society where all volunteers are equally valued ,Mr. Katongo has failed to maintain and promote neutrality ,unity and inclusiveness instead his created a toxic environment for all volunteers without recognition of his mistakes or willingness to listen to his youth volunteers ,there is no hope for ,justice with humanity in the leadership of Katongo Collins.

We strongly feel he has inconsistency in application of the constitution and the policies and an ongoing lack of respect towards youth volunteers ,the nation cannot be run successfully with one man leadership ,when input is sought ,there is failure to follow through or a total disregard for the ideas of many volunteer youths ,when communication occurs ,it is too often delayed ,hidden and incomplete there’s just an overall feeling that we as volunteers are losing ground all the time we need a different ,more solid leadership ,the moral is just too low and feels it is time for a change.

For these reasons stated we the undersigned youth volunteers are voting “NO CONFIDENCE “ in MR KATONGO COLLINS.
