The US government has observed that Zambia’s functional and vibrant democracy requires the upholding and sustaining of people’s fundamental rights.
US embassy Charge d’affaires David Young says the fundamental rights his government is referring to includes freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of assembly.
Mr. Young says Zambia should learn from the US where sustaining of these fundamental rights has been done in a step by step process.
Mr. Young says this is why Zambians should work hard to expand their constitutional rights.
He has told QFM news in an interview that in a democratic state like Zambia people should be free to speak out and assemble freely and talking with government officials regularly about their concerns.
