Ministry of Works and Supply says the transformation of government printers is underway and on course.

Ministry of Works and Supply Public Relations Officer, Ndubi Mvula said the transformation agenda of government printers has been adhered to by not only the ministry but other stakeholders in the country.

Mr. Mvula disclosed that the Minister of Works and Supply, Mutotwe Kafwaya will update the nation once his ministry finalizes with the Department of Government Printers.

Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka yesterday, Mr. Mvula said Government Printers had adhered to the presidential directive to print ballot papers locally in Zambia.

President Edgar Lungu who recently inspected and toured equipment at Government Printers expressed his administration’s determination to transform Government Printers by recapitalizing and facilitating the printing of the 2021 ballot papers in the country.

The Head of State stated that this will enable government to save resources, huge sums of foreign exchange and create job opportunities for the Zambian people.
