Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Finance Minister Dr. Situmbeko Musokotwane, in an exclusive interview on Hot-FM yesterday, provided insights into Zambia\u2019s recent debt restructuring process and outlined key priorities for the country\u2019s economic recovery. Here are some highlights from the interview:<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Government has expressed concern over the spread of misinformation regarding Zambia\u2019s recently secured debt restructuring deal. Chief Government Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa emphasized the need for accurate reporting on the matter, citing misinformation circulating on various platforms.<\/p>\n

Mweetwa, who also serves as the Information and Media Minister, urged journalists to address the misinformation challenge by providing clear explanations of what the debt restructuring deal entails for the people. His remarks were delivered during the World Vision Zambia Media Awards ceremony in Lusaka, with Ministry of Information and Media Permanent Secretary Thabo Kawana representing him.<\/p>\n

In addition to clarifying the debt restructuring deal, Mweetwa encouraged journalists to prioritize reporting on developmental issues that directly impact the populace, rather than focusing solely on politics.<\/p>\n

John Hasse, Chief Executive Officer of World Vision Zambia, reiterated the importance of the media in keeping the public informed about significant developments. Meanwhile, Lorraine Chisanga, Chairperson of the Media Institute of Southern Africa-Zambia (MISA-Zambia), underscored the media\u2019s role in shedding light on inequalities affecting children. Chisanga emphasized that journalists play a crucial role in holding decision-makers accountable for addressing issues affecting children across the country.<\/p>\n
