赞比亚总统哈凯恩德·希奇莱马周三任命24名部长宣誓就职,组建统一内阁,此前他在该国8月大选中成功连任第二任期。
Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema swore in 24 ministers Wednesday to form a unified Cabinet following his re-election to a second term in the country’s August general elections.
希奇莱马还在首都卢萨卡的国家府邸举行仪式,让所有10名省级部长宣誓就职。
Hichilema also swore in all 10 provincial ministers at a ceremony held at State House in Lusaka.
新任命者中包括布伦达·坦巴坦巴,她成为这个矿产资源丰富国家首位女性矿业与矿产开发部长;以及埃尔维斯·恩坎杜,他出任新任新闻与媒体部长兼政府首席发言人。
Among the appointees were Brenda Tambatamba, the mineral-rich nation’s first female mines and minerals development minister, and Elvis Nkandu, the new information and media minister and chief government spokesman.
在希奇莱马首个任期内,坦巴坦巴曾任劳工与社会保障部长,恩坎杜曾任青年、体育与艺术部长。
In Hichilema’s first term, Tambatamba was labor and social security minister, while Nkandu was youth, sport and arts minister.
弗兰克·莫约获任命为农业部长,他在相应时期担任国会第二副议长。
Frank Moyo was appointed as minster of agriculture, who in the corresponding period was second deputy speaker in parliament.
这24名部长加入了希奇莱马于9月1日就职两周后任命的最初四名部长行列,后者分别掌管卫生、财政与国家规划、绿色经济与环境、外交与国际合作四个部门。
The 24 joined an initial four who Hichilema appointed to the portfolios of health, finance and national planning, green economy and environment, and foreign affairs and international cooperation two weeks after his inauguration on Sept. 1.
这24人中还包括在重组后的政府体系下,接管新设立的贸易与出口部、石油部、电力部、工业部、文化与艺术部、技能与高等教育部的部长。
Among the 24 were also ministers who took up portfolios at the newly created ministries of Trade and Exports, Petroleum, Electricity, Industry, Culture and Arts, and Skills and Higher Education under a realigned government system.
在成功带领这个南部非洲国家走出严重债务危机和干旱引发的能源短缺等挑战后,希奇莱马将其第二任期押注在“赞比亚增长议程”上,并列出了到2031年要实现的八大部门生产目标。
Having successfully navigated the southern African nation out of a crippling debt crisis and drought-induced energy shortages among other challenges, Hichilema pinned his second term on the Grow Zambia Agenda, to which he outlined eight sector production targets by the year 2031.
这些目标包括:全国铜产量达到300万吨、粮食产量达到1000万吨、发电装机容量达到10吉瓦、吸引500万游客到访,他向新任命的部长们发出挑战,要求他们展现实绩。
These included the country producing 3 million tons of copper, 10 million tons of grain, 10 gigawatts of electricity and attracting 5 million tourist arrivals, to which he challenged his appointees to showcase deliverables.
“作为政府,我们有责任和义务为所有人民提供公平发展。这就是为什么我们仔细重组并调整了部委的设立,以确保政府机器为赞比亚人民服务,”希奇莱马在仪式后在脸书发文表示。
“As a government, we have a duty and a responsibility to deliver equitable development to all our people. That is why we have carefully restructured and aligned the establishment of the ministries to ensure that the machinery of government delivers for the people of Zambia,” Hichilema said in a post on Facebook after the ceremony.
恩坎杜在仪式后对记者表示,他的部将加强公众对希奇莱马推动赞比亚发展议程的认知,他在稍后于办公室接待媒体代表时重申了这一观点。
Nkandu told reporters following the ceremony that his ministry would intensify public awareness on Hichilema’s agenda to grow Zambia, remarks he echoed when media representatives welcomed him later at his office.
