ZCTU OKAYS NHIMA MOVE TO LABOUR
By Mark Ziligone:
The Zambia Congress of Trade Union -ZCTU- has commended Government for moving the National Health Insurance Management Authority-NHIMA- from the Ministry of Heath to the Ministry of Labour.
ZCTU Deputy Secretary General Joy Beene says the move will enable all Zambians access the services because it’s a social security issue.
Mr. Beene says it is sad that the previous regime squeezed some of the labor leaders who proposed that the health insurance firm be moved to the Ministry of labor.
He has told ZNBC news in an interview that some labor leaders were even retired in national interest for voicing out on the mater.
Mr. Beene also said the labor movement is now free to work with the new dawn Government because of its endurance to diverse views.
