The Emoluments Commission is continuing its public engagement campaign at the 98th Zambia Agricultural and Commercial Show, where it is exhibiting in Zambia Hall and interacting with hundreds of visitors eager to learn more about its role in the public sector.
Since the show opened to the public, the Commission has recorded encouraging levels of interest from citizens seeking to better understand its constitutional mandate, the principles guiding the harmonisation and rationalisation of public sector remuneration, and the processes used to review salaries and conditions of service.
The exhibition provides an opportunity for members of the public to engage directly with Commission officials, ask questions and receive accurate information about the institution’s responsibilities in promoting a fair, transparent and sustainable remuneration framework across the public service.
Promoting Public Understanding
A show like this is exactly the kind of place where a government institution can put a human face on what would otherwise be a line in the budget.
For the Emoluments Commission, the exhibition is helping to demystify its role by explaining how remuneration reviews are conducted and the principles that guide recommendations relating to salaries, allowances and conditions of service in the public sector.
The Commission has encouraged members of the public attending this year’s show to visit its exhibition stand, interact with its officers and gain a deeper understanding of its work.
Visit the Emoluments Commission Stand
Visitors attending the 98th Zambia Agricultural and Commercial Show are invited to stop by the Emoluments Commission exhibition stand in Zambia Hall, where Commission staff remain available throughout the show to answer questions and provide information about the institution’s mandate and ongoing activities.
Small conversations like these, multiplied across thousands of visitors, are part of how a constitutional body most Zambians have never heard of starts to feel less abstract.
