Government To Cover All Expenses For Dandy Crazy Funeral
This is GOOD. Artists are simply professionals; they are not politicians. A musician has not necessarily become a cadre of that certain chipani just because they are contracted to perform a political song. This is excellent logic by the new dawn administration. Watch the attached video.

CEJ To Drill Boreholes In Nyimba And Petuake Districts
.........CEJ is in Petauke to actualise one component of the project, which is livelihood support to different beneficiaries, a process that was also done in Nyimba.......
As the Centre for Environment Justice expands its network into the Eastern province, the organization intends to pilot solar-powered boreholes in the climate stressed Nyimba and Petauke districts in the year 2025.
CEJ Executive Director Maggie Mwape made the announcement when CEJ handed over 30 improved goats to farmers in Petauke.
Ms Mwape stated that CEJ, now fifteen years in existence, is working in seven provinces of Zambia, with operations in three districts per province.
She mentioned that the presence of CEJ in Eastern Province marks the eighth province, and they will work in Nyimba and Petauke districts.
"CEJ is conducting a pilot project in the province to understand the area before rolling out major activities. So far, CEJ has undertaken notable activities under the pilot project and has received support from the government, traditional leaders, and the local people. CEJ is in Petauke to actualise one component of the project, which is livelihood support to different beneficiaries, a process that was also done in Nyimba" she said.
The CEJ Executive Director said the move is a pass-on exercise from one beneficiary to another.
Ms Mwape also mentioned that CEJ will continue with training, especially in agroecology, environmental protection, and climate change.
She expressed hope that CEJ will remain in Nyimba and Petauke for a long time and will deliver according to the support rendered by their partners.
Meanwhile, Petauke District Administrative Officer, Mr Vincent Chibuye, thanked CEJ for the gesture.
"We will monitor beneficiaries closely to ensure that the goats multiply. Petauke is fortunate to be considered by CEJ, as the organisation could have chosen other districts" he said.

Even The UPND Has Resisted Judical Reforms - Notes SAIPAR
......Dr. O'Brien Kaaba mentioned that the appointment method lacks openness because positions are never posted and the procedure is not accessible to the general public........
A study has found that, similar to other ruling political parties before the UPND, they have likewise failed to embrace and implement judicial changes that would increase the judiciary's independence from the current state of affairs, as was the case in previous succeeding governments.
Reforms in the judiciary are necessary, according to a recent policy brief from the Southern African Institute for Policy and Research (SAIPAR). SAIPAR Research Fellow and Senior Law Lecturer at the University of Zambia Dr. O'Brien Kaaba pointed out that until 2016, the President held authority over the terms of service for judges.
"Although the 2016 constitution aimed to make the judiciary a self-accounting entity, the requirement to deal directly with the Minister of Finance still subjected it to executive control," he said.
Dr. Kaaba referenced the Constitutional Court's ruling in John Sangwa v. Attorney General, which held that judicial independence was compromised when wages for judges were established by a different entity.
Kenya, where the judiciary oversees its own budget and presents it to Parliament directly, was touted by him as a superior example.
Dr. Kaaba mentioned that the appointment method lacks openness because positions are never posted and the procedure is not accessible to the general public.
"The composition of the commission, being presidential appointees, raises further concerns about independence. Additionally, the process for removing judges lacks transparency, as both preliminary investigations and final decisions are handled by the same body," he said.
Meanwhile, Lawyer Kafula Kasonde emphasised the importance of maintaining the separation of government powers as vital for democracy. Another Lawyer, Mehluli Malisa
Why Zambians Are Capable Of Telling Their Own Stories Unlike Outsiders
.........President Hakainde Hichilema believes that the current communication tools are "useless" for conveying the positive story of his administration. As a result, he sees it appropriate to employ foreigners to oversee the government's marketing campaign leading up to the 2026 vote..........
The government of Zambia, which is suffering from drought brought on by El Ninos, has hired Gina Din Corporate Communications (GDCC) to assist in establishing the new Dawn administration's image. Sixty-four percent of the country's 20 million+ people live on less than $2 per day.
About the Gina Din Corporate Communications, it is an East African public relations and corporate communications firm serving many of the region's prominent regional as well as international corporate, institutional and government clients covering financial communications, investor, government relations, crisis, event management. It was winner of the Agency of the Year Award, from the Public Relations Society of Kenya, for three consecutive years and the Gold Sabre Awards.
Gina Din-Kariuki, a kenyan, she heads the institution.
Our group is appalled that President Hakainde Hichilema is prepared to spend public dollars on something that Zambian communication specialists can manage. People who can tell the positive story of Zambia's new dawn administration's accomplishments since it took office in 2021 are plentiful. Since this was President Hichilema's first term in office, he lacks experience, and his perceptions of the outside world do not align with his actual experience in leading the country.
Mr. Hichilema is the head of the team that advises him on the best way to handle national matters. Because of this, he believes that the current communication tools are "useless" for conveying the positive story of his administration. As a result, he believes it is appropriate to employ foreigners to oversee the government's market
