UKA EXPELS SEAN TEMBO, DANNY P**E AND PETER SINKAMBA

The United Kwacha Alliance has expelled PEP President Sean Tembo, Danny P**e and Peter Sinkamba of Green Party.

UKA Chairperson Sakwiba Sikota explains that Apostle P**e of CDP brought it to the attention of the Council that he is one of the founder members and office bearer in Tonse Alliance.

He says Apostle P**e cannot continue being a member of UKA, saying alliance member Presidents, senior officials and office bearers are not permitted to join or be members of other political alliances.

Sikota says the core purpose of UKA is to reduce the number of political players so that we have a common strategy and the electorate are not overwhelmed by multiplicity of candidates.

He says it is wrong for any UKA member to be creating or encouraging multiple political alliances and later on belong to all of them.

Sikota has further stated that UKA has dissociated itself from Tembo and Sinkamba.

He explains that apart from being the promoter of Tonse Alliance m Tembo has been disrespectful and undermining fellow Council members.

He therefore says to strengthen the UKA membership, the Council resolved that recruitment of members should be done outside UKA participating political parties in order to enlarge the general membership of the alliance.

CTPD URGES GOVERNMENT TO EXPEDITE FINALIZATION OF THE CLIMATE CHANGE BILL
LUSAKA —

The Centre for Trade Policy and Development (CTPD) has called on the Zambian government to prioritize the finalization of the Climate Change Bill, as a critical step towards addressing the country’s vulnerability to climate change.

Centre Research Associate Dr Matildah Kaliba said while climate change has been identified as a significant development challenge in the 8th National Development Plan (8NDP), progress in implementing key measures has been hampered by institutional inefficiencies, inadequate funding, and the absence of a binding legal framework.

Dr kaliba indicated that the proposed Climate Change Bill presents an essential opportunity to overcome these obstacles by providing a comprehensive legal mandate for climate action in Zambia and one notable challenge has been the harmonization of issues surrounding carbon markets.

She However, notes with the revised National Forestry Policy in the process of being finalized, CTPD urges government to expedite the finalization of the Climate Change Bill.

The Centre Policy Research Associate emphasized that it anticipates that the climate change legislation will address the Institutional Coordination in the existing climate change governance structure struggles to coordinate climate action across sectors.

She also points that the Legislation can address the fragmented approach by establishing a unified body to coordinate climate-related actions across various sectors and promote domestic Resource Mobilization as Zambia lacks legislation that ties a specific spending threshold to climate action.

Dr Kaliba has further urged government to expedite the legislative process of the Climate Change Bill to ensure that national plans and measures aligns with and ensure that the final version of the Climate Change Act aligns with international best practices and addresses Zambia’s specific needs.
