Some Civil Society Organizations have challenged President Hakainde Hichilema to declare his assets and liabilities in what they say is a matter of morality.
Alliance for Community Action (ACA) Executive Director, Laura Miti, says it is only right for the President to do so as a measure of transparency that borders on good governance.
Commenting on the same matter, Chapter One Foundation Executive Director, Linda Kasonde, is of the view that a person who holds the highest office must lead by example, by availing the public details of his assets and liabilities.
The duo was speaking last night during a special discussion on Public Service and Accountability Audit Report hosted by Chapter One Foundation in partnership with Anti-Corruption Commission, Alliance for Community Action and Transparency International Zambia.
Zambia has no law that compels the President to publicly declare his assets and liabilities before the office of the chief justice.
The President is only compelled to declare his assets and liabilities when filing nominations before an election.
The declaration has, however, not been made public.
