I am not about to let the people who so mismanaged the state budget now try to manage local government.

A fundamental shift happened in Zambia. The voter,style of leadership and governance is not business as usual. It reflects a new generation and their aspirations for the future in a modern and changing world. HH7 is that hope. Time time....

"We will need to advocate for increased financial decentralisation, stronger local tax powers, higher intergovernmental transfers, more flexible rules on local borrowing, and digitalisation of local public services." reiterated the NALAS President at the @CCRECEMR Retreat. 2/2

The debate on markets and bus stations is interesting. As a rule of thumb, what is not covered by any piece of legislation should be incorporated into law, so that it is not exploited.

Decentralisation from the lenses of the National Budgets. From devolution to deconcentration. We hope the 2022 National Budget will redirect our path towards devolution.

The running of markets and bus stations has been handed over to the local government as required by legislation. Will the Government @HHichilema also hand over vehicle licensing, tolls and electricity to local government has required under article 147 (2) of the constitution.
