Coming from KKIA, you will be greeted by this Billboard along Great East Road
Indeed, we and the Refugee community say "thank you President @HHichilema and your administration"
With a little more commitment, we confident you can finish the task!
We urged the National Assembly and the new dawn administration led by President @HHichilema to make the Citizenship Act consistent with the Constitution but also remove discrimination against stateless persons and refugees. We hope our leaders will act!
Today, representatives of three 10 Civil Society Organisations turned up to support the Citizenship of Zambia Amendment Bill No. 23 which seek to align the Act with the Zambian Constitution and also end discrimination in the application for citizenship by registration
πΏπ² Exciting news today as first-ever private members Bill was tabled! marking a crucial step towards aligning Citizenship Act with our Constitution, ensuring fairness & equity π€ But it's also a lasting solution for refugees, fostering a more inclusive & compassionate Zambia. π
We honour the voice of @saboiimboela, President of the National Democratic Congress for adding her compassionate voice in defence of the weaker and voiceless. We call on President @HHichilema to help create a fair and better Zambia for everyone

...as he commends President Hichilema for the approval of the national refugee policy.
We were honoured to meet Archbishop Telesphore Mpundu, a voice for the voiceless, today and tap into his wisdom on matters of national interest. Like him, we believe in a future that is fair, equal, non-discriminatory and better governed for all humans.
@DavidColtart@DougColtart@SADC_News@Sophie_Mokoena President @edmnangagwa. Its time to end these abuses and begin the process of national reconstruction where liberties and rights of all people are respected. Its within your powers to command security forces and your supporters to begin a new path towards national unity.
