Dr. Chilufya’s bold political reform agenda, advocating collaboration over rivalry, gains traction as Amb. Mwamba exemplifies this new political ethos through a symbolic engagement with PS Kawana for Zambia’s progress.
Lusaka, Nov. 18 – In a bold move towards reshaping Zambia’s political landscape, Hon. Dr. Chitalu Chilufya, the area Member of Parliament for Mansa Central Constituency, recently outlined his vision for a political reform agenda aimed at fostering collaboration between opposition parties and the Executive. His groundbreaking approach emphasizes constructive engagement to address pressing national issues, a philosophy he demonstrated by participating in a working presidential visit to Mazabuka.

This refreshing narrative has since garnered attention, with Amb. Emmanuel Mwamba taking steps to align with its principles through his meeting with Information and Media Permanent Secretary, Thabo Kawana. Amb. Mwamba’s engagement with Mr. Kawana at the Intercontinental Hotel symbolizes the bridging of political divides.
Mr. Kawana, in a Facebook post, lauded the meeting as a reflection of mutual respect, affirming that governance disagreements do not equate to enmity. He further expressed his intention to extend similar engagements to all former Information and Media Permanent Secretaries, signaling a new chapter of collaboration for national interest.
Dr. Chilufya’s reform agenda is a call to action for patriotic citizens to embrace a new model of politics, one that emphasizes collaboration over competition. By encouraging opposition parties to work with the Executive, this agenda seeks to deliver tangible socio-economic benefits to ordinary citizens while offering opposition leaders an opportunity to demonstrate their readiness to govern.

It’s a dual-purpose strategy that addresses the nation’s immediate needs while building public trust in alternative leadership through action rather than rhetoric. It equally challenges Zambia’s political actors to rise above partisan divides and commit to solutions that directly benefit the people.
By prioritizing service delivery and fostering dialogue, it offers a pathway to resetting the national political agenda. The question now remains: how do we collectively refine and implement this vision for a politics that serves, rather than divides? Your perspectives are invited as we navigate this potential turning point in Zambia’s governance.
