Permanent Secretary for Special Duties at Cabinet Office, Kennedy Kalunga, has called on citizens to actively participate in matters of national interest to ensure that Zambia’s democracy continues to thrive.
Mr. Kalunga emphasized that democracy can only be strengthened when citizens take part in national processes and fulfill their civic duties.
He urged all eligible citizens to register as voters and obtain voter cards, noting that doing so is one of the key ways to influence national development and leadership.
“Let us remember that democracy thrives when citizens participate. In this regard, I urge every eligible Zambian to register as a voter in the ongoing voter registration ahead of the elections in 2026,” Mr. Kalunga said.
He added that Independence should remind every responsible Zambian to reject tribalism, corruption, crime, and violence, and instead embrace the spirit of One Zambia, One Nation.
“Independence should remind all of us to desist from tribalism, corruption, crime, and violence, and embrace the spirit of One Zambia, One Nation,” he reiterated.
Mr. Kalunga also commended the people of Kafue for their unity and patriotism as the nation celebrated 61 years of independence, urging them to renew their commitment to building a resilient, inclusive, and prosperous Zambia for all.
