Zambia safe for investment – State house

State House says Zambia remains a safe investment destination even with the invocation of Article 31 of the constitution by President Edgar Lungu last week.

Special Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations, Amos Chanda says in fact the invocation of Article 31 assures investors of security.

Mr. Chanda says this actually encourages the investors that there is rule of law in the country and that property and people’s lives will be protected.

And Mr. Chanda has disclosed that Commercial Bank Chief Executive Officers endorsed the move by the Head of State to invoke Article 31 when he met them last week on Thursday at State House.

He says the bankers are pleased that the President is taking practical steps towards the protection of property and promotion of rule of law.

Mr. Chanda says as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Force, President Lungu will remain steady fast in dealing with threats in the business environment by taking measures aimed at promoting the rule of law.
