Government has embarked on an ambitious programme of ensuring that operations in the foreign missions do not escalate to levels they cannot contain.
ZANIS reports from Gaborone that the Minister of Foreign Affairs Harry Kalaba told journalists in an interview yesterday that government is at present working on a programme to reduce the cost of doing business in foreign missions.
In realising this goal, Mr. Kalaba said government has embarked on drafting a Cabinet Memorandum (Cab Memo) to propose the issue of Zambia’s foreign mission to acquire mortgages with countries of their residence for consideration to Cabinet Office.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs further explained that such a proposal means that the Zambian government will now embark on a programme to buy its own property in the missions.
