ZLA urges government to implement National Land Policy

• The organization wants to see the issuance of land titles decentralized from Lusaka and Ndola to Provincial levels.
• Once the process is decentralized, it will be cost effective for people.
• It will be cheaper than the current situation.

Zambia Land Alliance (ZLA) has urged government to implement the National Land Policy as per plan.
Alliance Executive Director Patrick Musole told Money FM News in an interview that the organization wants to see the issuance of land titles decentralized from Lusaka and Ndola to Provincial levels.
Mr. Musole said doing so will prevent people from traveling long distances to the Capital city to follow up their land titles.
He added that once the process is decentralized, it will be cost effective for people to be able to follow up their titles up to provincial level as it will be cheaper than the current situation.
“We want to urge government to implement the national land policy as per plan. We want to see the issuance of land documentation, titles decentralized from Lusaka and Ndola to Provincial levels so that people don’t have to cover long distances to travel to the Capital city to follow up the processes.”
“We would like to see that process decentralized so that it is cost effective for people to be able to follow up their titles at least up to provincial which will be cheaper than the current situation. So we would like to see that expedited,” Mr. Musole stated.
In May 2021, Government launched a National Lands Policy in a bid to streamline land administration and management services in order to place the country’s land development on a sustainable path.
