By Phyllis s. Banda

The Governance, Development, and Advocates Zambia GODAZA has urged the family of former President Edgar Lungu to prioritize the repatriation of his body to Zambia.

In a letter addressed to Makebi Zulu, the legal counsel representing the Lungu family, GODAZA Executive Director Elias Mulenga expressed concern over delays in the funeral arrangements and called for restraint from engaging in political disputes during the mourning period.

BY Phyllis S.Banda

Governance expert and human rights advocate Wesley Miyanda has emphasized the need for Zambia to industrialize its economy to increase its Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

In a press statement to LUANSHYA REPORTS, Mr. Miyanda attributed the country's low macroeconomic statistics to factors such as prolonged droughts and overdependence on imported goods.

Mr. Miyanda applauded the government's efforts to encourage investments in the energy sector, particularly energy mix, to reduce reliance on hydro power.
