The 7th ATU Conference of Plenipotentiaries has elected Eng. Kezias Kazuba Mwale as the Union’s next Secretary General for 2027–2031. He assumes office on 1st January 2027. Until then, SG Mr. John Omo will continue to lead the General Secretariat and support a smooth transition.
Zambia needs to change and ASAP. I arrived at Kazungula nice and early this afternoon. Botswana side took me under 10 minutes to clear both immigration and customs.
My home side, Zambia took forever because of all sorts of procedures and just bad attitudes from some people behind these counters. Come time to pay for the bridge toll and council levy, the only cashier available leaves to go and buy food. No sense of urgency whatsoever. Meanwhile, there is a line of people waiting to PAY... And nobody seems bothered about this.
What are we doing? We can't build a well functioning country like this. Not possible.
LAZ, @LauraMiti and others who have spoken out against the Cybersecurity bill have my support. To me, it is clear that the government has not consulted widely on a Bill that is mischievous. The voices of concerned citizens must be heard and this Bill must be retracted.
