The opposition UPND has encouraged the media in Zambia to remain professional and objective in its role of providing checks and balances to the government.

UPND Secretary General Stephen Katuka is urging media houses in the Country who joined the rest of the World in commemorating World Press Freedom Day today , to continue being truthful in their reporting.

Mr. Katuka says UPND believes that without a media with integrity, no true democracy and development can be achieved.

He tells Q News that the UPND has since commended the privately owned media in the country for upholding integrity and credibility.

Mr. Katuka has encouraged such media houses to continue giving equal access to all political parties in the Country.

And Mr. Katuka says the inability by government to enact a law that guarantees access to information in Zambia is due to the failure to appreciate that they are in office to serve the people.

    has no right to caution the media.

    Times and Daily mail have been reporting the truth on the landscape in Zambia and are reputable tabloids

    Including our reporting at Lusaka Times

    Thanks

    • Finally Katuta agrees with all sober Zambians that we have a Government in Zambia. I presume UPND is coming to its senses. You cannot continue grooving on a trail of utopia. Its time to navigate with common sense.

  2. Shame Shame biased, filtered and controlled news by daily nations and times who doesn’t know that their job is to praise the of leadership. PEPPETS

  3. Finally, Mr. Katuka has sobered up to some level from constantly insulting the president. Interesting what some actions can lead to.

  4. However only pro pf media is left in Zambia under the illegal dictatorship of lungu. Why you think imf has refused to sponsor tyranny

  5. Dead ZNBC has no relevance, biased and distorted reporting, praise worshiping and you name it. Development embraces criticism so that you learn from it.

  6. Was it Mr Katuka who said this?hey very good.he is very sober.am sure he has returned back to his senses after the arresting of HH for treason and himself for few hours for carrying a gun into police camp.

    NEZ must be caged too so that he can learn to use civil language and do mature politics!!

    WELL SAID MR. KATUKA.THIS IS THE BEHAVIOUR WE EXPECT FROM YOU POLITICIANS UNLIKE DOING POLITICS OF NAME CALLING EVERYDAY!!

  7. A High-Powered UPND delegation is on its way to India to verify whether its true GBM is really sick. His silence is too loud !
