Transparency International Zambia has reiterated that it will not register under the-NGO-Act number 16 of 2009.

TIZ Executive Director Goodwell Lungu has advised the PF government that the rate at which it is moving to implement the NGO Act has the potential to dent Zambia’s reputation internationally especially that they promised to review the Act.

Mr. Lungu has also dismissed what he termed as wrong assertions being peddled that the mere fact that NGOs are refusing to register means they are scared of being scrutinized and accountable.

He has called on the Ministry of Community Development to completely cancel the ongoing registration of NGOs in Zambia.

Mr. Lungu charged that if the same PF government in their manifesto rightly pointed out the inadequacies of the NGO Act and confirmed that it needs to be revised, it is clear evidence that there is something wrong with the Act and it is sad that the PF have u-turned now that they are in power.

Mr. Lungu has since cautioned Community Development Minister Joseph Katema to desist from projecting a picture that NGOs have not been engaging in dialog with his office over the matter.

He explained in a statement that several meetings have been held including an NGO congress at which it was resolved that an NGO Board shall not be put in place but rather focus on repealing the said Act.

  1. You don’t want your ngo to register because
    a) You don’t want to be seen to be too local
    b) You don’t want the govt to know the source of your funding
    c) You don’t want you ngo to appear as just one of those ngos
    d) You don’t know what exactly the govt is up to
    Grade seven question, SDS

  3. Why do i always feel as if PF wants to be incharge of every organisation in the country? Especially with this one in particular.

  4. It such a disappointment to have Guy Scott as a top govt official leading the cabinet and answering on behalf of the president of Zambia. There isn’t a statement that Mr Scott makes with out involving or passing the excuse to someone else or something else. Every time he is asked questions, challenged about an issue, he always looks for someone else to blame, NEVER himself or collectively never answers with confidence and efficiency. If this is what represents good governance then forget about replacing this government. Zambia will continue to drift into the unknown and became another entity that means nothing or simply not worth paying attention to. Zambians need to crack the whip and stop this show boating in the House that is responsible for making rules that govern the country.

  20. TIZ is not above the law. If TIZ chooses to worship a different god, then clearly TIZ can not claim to represent the Zambian people. Relationships with international NGOs need to change and remain abreast with new circumstances. In some cases, these NGOs have been audacious and callous.
