📢 Official Opening of the High Court in Chipata for the Year 2025

On Monday 06.01.2025, I had the distinct honor of officiating at the historic ceremony for the official opening of the High Court in Chipata. This annual event underscores our dedication to improving access to justice and promoting fairness and equity across Eastern Province.

The establishment of the High Court in Chipata is a significant milestone in our collective efforts to bring justice closer to the people. This development will ensure that all High Court cases within the region are handled more efficiently, reducing delays and fostering confidence in the judicial system.

The ceremonial opening of the High Court is a yearly tradition that not only highlights our province’s commitment to the rule of law but also serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to enhance our judicial infrastructure and services.

Let us celebrate this achievement and renew our commitment to building a society where justice is accessible to all. Together, we can ensure that our institutions continue to serve the people with dignity and fairness.

The need to harvest rain water should be embraced by everyone at this point in time.

EASTERN PROVINCE MINISTER CALLS FOR WATER HARVESTING AND MILLING PLANT TO BOOST AGRICULTURE AND STABILIZE FOOD PRICES

Reported by: S. Ernest
Date: 9th January, 2025.
Chipata, Eastern Province.

Eastern Province Minister Peter Phiri has called on the Zambia National Service (ZNS) to construct water harvesting points in the province to transition from dependence on rain-fed agriculture.

Speaking during a courtesy call by ZNS Commander Lieutenant General Maliti Solochi, the Minister emphasized the importance of infrastructure that supports irrigation farming, especially in the wake of climate change.

Mr. Phiri also appealed for the establishment of a milling plant in the province to stabilize mealie meal prices, particularly in remote areas. He highlighted that this initiative would align with government efforts to improve food security and reduce the cost of living.

Lieutenant General Solochi is in Eastern Province to assess ongoing projects, including the construction of dams and a bridge, and to evaluate the readiness of Chiwoko, which is set to host part of the youths enrolled in the voluntary national service training program.

Accompanied by Deputy Permanent Secretary Dr. Lewis Mwape, Minister Phiri stressed the need for ZNS to enhance its capacity to produce food for the nation.

“We need more dams in Eastern Province to harvest water that currently goes to waste. Transitioning from rain-fed agriculture to irrigation is crucial. The President has emphasized water harvesting and this is particularly important given the realities of climate change,” Mr. Phiri said.

He also urged ZNS to maximize the province's fertile soils for large-scale food production.

“If security wings can focus on growing significant amounts of food, it would allow small-scale farmers to sell their produce freely while ensuring food security for the nation. This would greatly benefit our economy and stabilize prices,” the Minister added.

The Minister reaffirmed his commitment to supporting initiatives that address food security challenges while leveraging the province’s agricultural potential.

RISE AND SHINE

In Exodus 14:13, the word of God says “And Moses said to the people, Fear not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD,...: for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall see them no more.”

WE PRAY:
Lord, thank you that I can trust you in adversity. You are my pillar of strength. I refuse to be shaken by any challenges. I choose faith, joy and hope over fear, sadness and despair respectively. I now stand still to see your deliverance. Like Moses, by faith I declare that this is the end of these problems (name them) in my life, as I walk in victory and prosperity in Jesus’ name, Amen 🙏🏾
