Open government is essential for a thriving democracy and accountable governance. It means transparency, accessibility, and responsiveness from our leaders. With the recent passage of the Access to Information law in Zambia, our nation takes a significant step towards openness and accountability. As civil society organisations, we're committed to ensuring that this newfound access empowers Zambians to hold those in power accountable for their actions. Today, in a meeting with the British High Commissioner to Zambia, Nicholas Woolley, we discussed the socioeconomic landscape and strategies to ensure that citizens can effectively exercise their right to information. Let's continue working together towards a more transparent, accessible, and accountable government for all Zambians. #OpenGovernment #AccessToInformation #Accountability #Transparency 🇿🇲🇬🇧 Panos Institute Southern Africa (PSAf) Transparency International Zambia

In East Africa, the dynamics of trade, investment, and socio-economic integration have rapidly evolved, driving the need for a legal framework that accommodates the complexities of cross-border transactions and disputes. The region, comprising Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, the DRC and Somalia boasts a burgeoning economy and a burgeoning legal landscape. However, despite the strides towards regional integration through bodies like the East African Community (EAC), legal practitioners face significant barriers when practicing law across borders. Criticos Juma delves on why the realization of EAC-CMP has been a mirage https://lnkd.in/dqiCPqyK

A constitution is a set of fundamental rules that determine how a country or state is run. The constitution of a country or organization is the system of laws which formally states people's rights and duties. In essence, it is the foundational document that serves as the guiding light for the nation's operations. It intricately outlines the fundamental rules, articulating the rights and responsibilities of each citizen. It is not merely a legal manuscript; rather, it stands as a dynamic commitment to principles that uphold the pillars of democracy – freedom, equality, and justice. By appreciating and upholding the constitution, we actively contribute to building a resilient, harmonious, and thriving professional community within Nigeria. #Sabibay #Politics #Leadership #Governance #PLG #Constitution #NigerianGovernance
