Information and Media Minister Chushi Kasanda says the seven months that the United Party for National Development (UPND) has been in government have been eventful in uplifting lives of Zambians in line with its campaign promises.
In a Zambia Daily Mail report, Kasanda says key among achievements is restoration of the rule of law, in which governance institutions like the media and other oversight institutions, among them the Anti-Corruption Commission and Drug Enforcement Commission, are free to operate without instructions from anyone.
Ms Kasanda said that previously it was unheard of for the public media like the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation, Times of Zambia and Zambia Daily Mail to cover dissenting political voices.
She says, “This is now a thing of the past, as opposition political players are now a regular feature on these platforms.
