Zambia: Enact law, government urged

The Zambian governments’ reluctance to pass the Freedom of Information (FOI) law is a sign that it is not committed to the concept of being probed by the public, says the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) in a statement. MISA Zambia says the government may not reap the full benefits made under the Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative if it does not enact the FOI bill.
