AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Cancer Care Upgrade: President Hakainde Hichilema commissioned a refurbished radiotherapy and imaging wing at Cancer Diseases Hospital in Lusaka, a US$31m government-funded project that had been paused for six years, bringing specialised cancer treatment back for over 800 patients who had been waiting for care abroad. Cost of Living & Business: Hichilema urged the business community to pass on gains from economic recovery—lower inflation, stable kwacha, steadier electricity and falling fuel prices—to consumers, warning that improvements must show up in shop and transport prices. Election Finance & Politics: NRP-UP presidential candidate Brian Mundubile says his campaign raised over K860,000 in cash and K2.8m in pledges within 24 hours of launching a public fundraising drive, while Hichilema mocked the approach and told him to use the Constituency Development Fund instead. Mining & Law Enforcement: Zambia Police cautioned the public over cyberbullying of suspects in an alleged copper cathodes theft case and dismissed claims that former ministers were arrested. US Visa Policy: The US confirmed a permanent visa bond programme for B1/B2 travellers from 50 countries, including Zambia, with deposits up to $20,000 refundable if conditions are met. Policy Regulation: Zambia’s Engineering Institution of Zambia secured new professional service fee regulations (S.I. No. 34 of 2026) aimed at curbing undercutting and improving pricing standards. Health Research: A new TB vaccine is progressing in phase three trials in South Africa, Kenya, Zambia and others, with preparations underway for possible registration and rollout.
