Fellow citizens.
We also wish to inform you that we have held a meeting with Starlink, a firm whose focus is technology particularly Internet connectivity. As you know, we intend to quickly sort out our connectivity as this is the only way we can have a truly functional e-government of the 21st Century.
We are working round the clock to ensure that facilities such as technology are put to great use so that jobs and business opportunities can be realised and this was what characterised our conversation with the Starlink Head, Mr Chad Gibbs today. Additionally we all know that good connectivity will also improve productivity thereby reducing the cost of doing business.
While in office, we are ensuring that every opportunity and step we take, is done in the best interest of Zambia.
On the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, we will continue with these engagements which will ultimately lead to a better Zambia for all.
Zambia is getting better and indeed will be better.
Hakainde Hichilema
President of the Republic of Zambia.
