TIZ Praises Police for Fair Enforcement During Kawambwa By-Election

By Ruth Chayinda

Transparency International Zambia TIZ has praised the Zambia Police Service for enforcing the public order act and other standard operating procedures fairly during the Kawambwa parliamentary by-election.

TI- Z Executive Director MAURICE NYAMBE says the police should however continue building on such a practice for future elections.

Mr NYAMBE has also urged the Electoral Commission of  Zambia- ECZ- and the Zambia Police to take strong punitive measures on any political players that engage in violence.

And, Mr NYAMBE has also called on the Government to expedite the enactment of legislation on political party and campaign financing in order to contribute to the enhancement of Zambia’s democracy.

He said this during a press briefing where he has also recommended the appointment of independent ECZ District officials to increase confidence in all stakeholders in the independence of the ECZ.

And, Mr NYAMBE has also announced that TIZ will soon be launching the 2024 corruption perception index report and the launch of the Zambia bribe payers index survey report.

He said the launch of the reports will constitute the main activities that TIZ will be undertaken during the first quarter of 2025.
