President Hakainde Hichilema has called on traditional leaders across the country to play a central role in promoting unity, peace, and development within their communities.
He noted that only through unity would Zambians effectively channel their energy towards building a prosperous country.
He said this in Lusaka at the Kenneth Kaunda International Conference Centre Wing of Mulungushi International Conference Centre during a meeting with traditional leaders from across the country on Wednesday.
Hichilema described the gathering as both cordial and frank, noting that it was conducted in the spirit of a united family.
“The discussions were anchored on the importance of unity. Chiefs must continue fostering love and harmony within their chiefdoms and the nation at large,” he said.
Reflecting on his government’s performance over the past four years, Hichilema said the administration had worked to restore the rule of law, restructure national debt, and rebuild investor confidence.
He explained that the government had laid a solid foundation for sustainable economic growth, emphasizing the need for peace, unity, and hard work as pillars of development.
“Our government views traditional leaders not as adversaries but as partners in development, particularly in reviving agriculture,” he said.
Hichilema further urged communities to embrace hard work in farming and prioritize the storage of surplus harvests for household consumption between seasons.
“Our mission is one: to develop our country, uplift our people, and leave no community behind,” he said.
