"The public enterprises CEO forum is a very important forum where various public enterprises owned by the government come together to create a platform to talk about issues that are common to all of them and to engage with the shareholder. There are various activities we do. Recently, we met with the Minister of Education, Anna Nghipondoka, and she shared the challenges they have with the education system, and we decided to see if we could give a helping hand as the public enterprise, because the public enterprise is an important sector in the economy, and the amount of assistance we can give is huge."
