SPECIAL Assistant to the President and Presidential Spokesperson Anthony Bwalya says government will not hesitate to review the performance of all public utility bodies, including management utilities, such as the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC).

Responding to a query, Bwalya said President Hakainde Hichilema had expressed political will to reform the functionality of all public utility bodies when asked whether the Head of State would be comfortable continuing as IDC board chairperson.

“The President and the New Dawn Administration have already expressed the political will to reform the functionality of all public utility bodies, including management bodies, to enhance and optimize value for Zambian citizens, in the way of social-economic growth and development. The government will not hesitate to review the performance of all public utility bodies, including management utilities, such as the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), as well as assessing the effectiveness of the corporate governance structures of all such bodies, including but not limited to the prescriptions of Part 12 of Clause 57 of the Articles of Association of the IDC, for enhanced service delivery,” said Bwalya.
