STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT LUNGU’S INTERVENTION TO CONTAIN CHOLERA

December 30, 2017

Zambian DNA commends President Edgar Lungu’s directive to all three wings of defence forces to join the Ministry of Health and Lusaka City Council in curbing the escalating spread of cholera in Lusaka.

Indeed, President Lungu’s swift intervention to engage the military in the fight against the spread of cholera, which has claimed many lives, is highly commendable.

While Government through a multi-sectoral team is fighting to contain the spread of cholera, there’s need for all citizens to join the fight to stem the spread of cholera.

We call upon the Church, political players, civil societies, traditional leaders, vendors, restaurant owners and etc to join this fight.

However, we urge all citizens to practice personal hygiene.
