Maina Soko Medical Centre congratulates Ms Juliet MUNAMOONGA on her graduation with a Bachelorโs Degree in Public Administration from the National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA), attained on 7th November 2025.
Her achievement crowns a remarkable journey of dedication, resilience and unwavering commitment to duty, one that spans over two decades of service in the Zambia Army as a Civilian Employee, specialising in administrative support and civilian welfare matters.
Ms Juliet MUNAMOONGA began her distinguished career in 1999 when she joined the Zambia Army and was posted to the Camp Hospital as a Registry Clerk. As a Civilian Employee, she played a key role in supporting military operations through efficient management of records and administrative duties for seven years.
In 2009, she moved to the Army Pay Office as an Accounts Clerk. Her responsibilities included the timely preparation of financial inputs, oversight essential to both military and civilian staff. She later advanced to the Data Section under Accounts, where she assisted in processing salaries and recoveries.
Her precision and reliability earned her high commendations, cementing her reputation as a hardworking and disciplined civilian officer. This outstanding performance led to her deployment to the Defence Services and Staff College (DSSC).
Although challenging at first, she quickly adapted and grew into the role, eventually becoming an Assistant Administrative Clerk. Here, she handled various human resource functions, disciplinary matters and welfare issues, particularly involving Civilian Employees working under different services.
Her professionalism earned recognition from the then Commandant of DSSC, Brig Gen Sitali Dennis ALIBUZWI (later Lieutenant General, and immediate past Commander of the Zambia Army), who presented her with a Most Hardworking Award in 2008 and recommended her upgrade to Administrative Clerk.
In 2018, Ms MUNAMOONGA was posted to Maina Soko Medical Centre as an Administrative Clerk. This was a pivotal moment, as the institution was establishing its first Human Resource Office in 2019 under the leadership of Brig Gen Dr Benard KAPATAMOYO.
As a Civilian Employee herself, she was entrusted with handling Human Resource matters specifically affecting civilian employees' welfare concerns, supervision, administrative processing and coordination with Ministry of Defence HR officers. Her lived experience as a civilian employee in a military environment uniquely positioned her to understand, guide and resolve civilian-related issues with empathy and precision.
Her work continues under the mentorship of the current Commandant, Brig Gen Dr Levy MUCHEMWA, whom she acknowledges for his mentorship, parental guidance and leadership.
Ms MUNAMOONGAโs academic achievements reflect her drive for personal and professional development. She obtained a Diploma in Human Resource Management from NIPA in 2016.
In 2022, she began her Bachelor of Public Administration programme, successfully completing it on 7th November 2025.
Her dedication to advancing her education enhances her ability to effectively manage civilian welfare matters within the military structureโan essential bridge between civilian staff and command leadership.
Guided by Psalms 91:1โ2, she attributes her perseverance to faith, discipline and the belief that hard work truly pays.
For more than two decades, Ms Juliet MUNAMOONGA has served the Zambia Army as a dedicated Civilian Employee, consistently championing the welfare, concerns and professional needs of fellow civilians while upholding the values of loyalty, humility and service excellence.
Maina Soko Medical Centre proudly celebrates her accomplishments and honours her exemplary contribution to strengthening administrative and civilian support systems within the institution.
Congratulations once again to Ms Juliet MUNAMOONGA on this outstanding achievement.
Her story remains an inspiration to civilian and uniformed staff alike.
