Instead of focusing on our shared vision to unite and streamline leadership under a common purpose, we were unfortunately distracted by internal leadership disputes, a challenge that delayed our progress,\u2019 UKA Chairperson Mr. Robert Chansa said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the launch, UKA Media Chairperson Ms. Saboi Imboela emphasized the importance of this moment:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We had promised the Zambian people and ourselves that UKA would be grounded on principles, values and structure. We are no longer going to allow a situation where one person can wake up and expell another due to the absence of institutional frameworks.That era is behind us,\u2019 Ms. Imboela said.<\/p>\n<p>Today we move forward with a clear constitution, a power-sharing agreement, a memorandum of understanding and a disciplinary code of conduct.<\/p>\n<p>The documents were officially launched by the UKA Chairperson, Mr. Robert Chansa. These include:<\/p>\n<p>The UKA Alliance Constitution<\/p>\n<p>The Power Sharing Agreement<\/p>\n<p>The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)<\/p>\n<p>The Disciplinary Code of Conduct.<\/p>\n<p>The Chairperson also announced the expulsion of Ms. Chishala Kateka from UKA and announced the appointments of people in key positions.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The launch marks a new chapter for UKA, one built on unity, structure, and purpose. The Alliance is now better positioned to serve the Zambian people and offer an alternative vision of leadership anchored in democratic values and transparency\u2019 Mr Chansa said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Zambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
