The United Party for National Development (UPND) government has reaffirmed its commitment to keeping the civil service free from political influence and ensuring that public service workers can operate without political interference.

She expressed concerns that the previous government’s political partisanship led to the politicization of public service delivery, resulting in some regions being denied development opportunities.
