Government encourages Zambians abroad to apply for Land back home

Lands, Natural Resources and Environment protection Deputy Minister Davies Mwango says government has simplified the land acquisition process for Zambians living in the Diaspora.

Mr. Mwango says the simplified process will enable Zambians who are living abroad to easily access land at home, and the government is in the process of revising Land policy adding that government is currently receiving inputs from different stakeholders including government ministries.

Meanwhile Ambassador Susan Sikaneta says the African Union is grateful to the Zambian government for the 10 acres plot land given for the construction of the new headquarters of the ECOSOC Secretariat and another piece of land for the construction of the new COMESA headquarters in Lusaka. She says this will be valuable use of land whose benefits will remain forever and add to the beauty of the city of Lusaka.
