Government has eulogised the late former Cabinet Minister, Joseph Katema, as someone who made a significant contribution to the development trajectory of the country, through implementation of sound policies that attracted donor funding. Dr Kalabo said that the late former cabinet minister facilitated mobilisation of donor support to complement government efforts in implementing policies and programmes targeted at improving the livelihood of the citizens. “The nation may wish to know that the late Honourable Dr Joseph Katema, was admired for embracing servant leadership, when he served as a cabinet minister,” said Dr Kalabo. Mrs Katema said that the departure of her late husband has left a vacuum that cannot be expressed in words. Fr Chanda also called for the need to honor the memories of Dr Katema with tribute and commitment to living a life of honesty, justice, reconciliation and service.
