A CONSORTIUM of civil society organisations has appealed to President Hakainde Hichilema to engage his Minister of Finance and National Planning Dr. Situmbeko Musokotwane to sign the Konkola Copper Mines (KCM)-Vedanta Resources shareholder agreement.
A CONSORTIUM of 12 civil society organisations have red-flagged the growing trends of undemocratic tendencies, intolerance, shrinking space for freedom of expression, freedom of assembly which they now fear have the potential to plunge the country into the abyss of demagoguery and political repression.
NON-GOVERNMENTAL Organisations (NGOs) have become toothless, they are not speaking out on the economic hardships faced by the people, the Christian Democratic Party (CDP) has said.
REVELATIONS that President Hakainde Hichilema was among the suspects behind the abduction and keeping in captive of Fenula and her husband Milton Hatembo are grave and should compel the Church, the civil society organisations (CSO) and other interest group to demand the truth from the State, Chishimba Kambwili has said.
ZAMBIA has been used as a case study on the efficiency of the G20 Common Framework in providing debt treatment at the third African Conference on Debt and Development (AfCoDD III) taking place in Dakar, Senegal.
THE Centre for Environment Justice (CEJ) has launched a project dubbed “Strengthening Civil Society Voices for Climate Advocacy in Zambia”.
HAD the grand theft of gold Zambians are witnessing under the patronage of President Hakainde Hichilema happened under former President Edgar Lungu, the UPND in tandem with civil society organisations would have gone to town to vilify, abuse and demonise the former head of State, Mutotwe Kafwaya has said.
THE Patriotic Front (PF) has vowed it will challenge the single sourcing of fertiliser under the UPND administration when Parliament resumes its sitting because it is certain the direct bidding is being motivated and driven by grand corruption.
THE planned protest by a consortium of Civil Society Organisations (CSO’s) which was initially slated for today has been postponed to next week because the Zambia Police are said to be processing the permit for the procession.
THERE is need for Zambia to hold an economic indaba which will help the country find solution to the various economic challenges, Emmanuel Mwamba has said.
