Former Republican President Rupiah Banda yesterday held discussions with a delegation from the Human Rights Committee of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).

Mr. Banda expressed gratitude at a two-man delegation that had paid him a courtesy call where the meeting was held at his office in Lusaka.

The closed-door meeting lasted for about 30-minutes and was also attended by Mr. Banda’s lawyer, Sakwiba Sikota.

The delegation comprised President of the Human Rights Committee of the IPU Juan Pablo Letelier and Committee Secretary Rogier Huizenga.

This is contained in a press statement released to ZANIS in Lusaka today President Banda’s dDeputy administrative assistant Kennedy Limwanya.

And briefing journalists soon after the meeting, Mr Letelier said he was happy that the Zambian government had allowed his delegation to visit the country and meet several stakeholders to assess the country’s human rights performance.

  1. Oh….okay…ummm, so what did he say. Pro or Anti Zambia? One of those will see him arrive in your luggage, once we find out!!

  2. LT, as an online medium should be informing the nation on a daily basis the president’s engagements at the UN session instead of the boring talk about RB’s plans to return to active politics and closed door meeting with Human Rights 2-man delegation.
