ZANS reports Brig. Gen Timothy Kazembe said this during NMC organized sensitization meeting with various stakeholders
in Samfya, yesterday.

uplifting the general livelihood of Zambian citizens.

He said the recent peer review of President Michael Sataon behalf of Zambia in Addis Ababa Ethiopia, early this year is one indicator that
the Zambian government is on track in its outline to fulfill the APRM principles.

District Consultative Forums targeting to raise awareness to people over the peer review mechanisms using a bottom up approach.

And Samfya Council Secretary Harry Twenda  says the PF Government was making scores in certain aspects of peer review mechanisms.
