CABINET SHIFTS ECONOMIC FOCUS TO GROWTH UNDER NEW AGENDA
Government has announced a shift from economic stabilisation to growth under the Grow Zambia Agenda, following the first Cabinet Meeting of President Hakainde Hichilema’s second term held on September 14, 2026, at State House.
According to a press statement issued by Cabinet Office, Cabinet approved the Budget Policy Concept Paper to guide the 2027–2029 Medium-Term Budget Plan and the 2027 Annual Budget.
The agenda will be anchored on the 10‑10‑5‑3‑3‑1‑1‑1 production targets, including 10 million tonnes of maize, 10,000 megawatts of electricity, five million tourist arrivals, three million tonnes each of copper and soya beans, one million tonnes of wheat, one million tonnes of sugar, and US$1 billion in beef exports.
Government says the targets aim to promote resilient growth, job creation, and improved welfare, while sustaining single-digit inflation, a stable exchange rate, and reserves above three months of import cover. Fiscal consolidation will remain central, with emphasis on reducing deficits, debt sustainability, and enhanced domestic revenue mobilisation through digital tax systems.
Priority investments will focus on transport, water, energy, ICT, health, education, and social protection, alongside climate-resilient projects integrated into planning and budgeting.

UPND ACTIVIST CALLS FOR SEPARATION OF PARTY AND GOVERNMENT ROLES
UPND member and political activist Barbrah Musamba Chama has called for provincial party chairpersons to stay out of Parliament so they can concentrate on strengthening party structures and mobilisation.
Chama said provincial chairpersons should remain on the ground to mobilise members, resolve grassroots challenges and promote unity, instead of dividing their time between Parliament, Cabinet and constituency duties.
“A Provincial Chairman must be on the ground… Mobilising members,” Chama said.
She argued that separating party and government responsibilities would strengthen both institutions, adding, “LET PARTY LEADERS BUILD THE PARTY. LET MINISTERS RUN GOVERNMENT.”
