The National Prosecution Authority (NPA) is proud to have three of its prosecutors representing the country on the global stage at the 29th Annual Conference and General Meeting of the International Association of Prosecutors (IAP) in Baku, Azerbaijan. This international gathering brings together leading legal minds from over 80 countries, providing a platform for discussing prosecutorial challenges and solutions.
Representing the NPA at this year’s conference are Ms. Sekelebaka Muwamba, Deputy Chief State Advocate for North Western Province, Mrs. Angelica Kennedy-Mwanza, Principal State Advocate from the Appeals Unit, and Mr. Matumo Mululu, Senior State Advocate from Choma. Their participation reflects the NPA’s commitment to enhancing the prosecutorial profession through global engagement and cooperation.
This year’s conference theme, “The Role of the Prosecutor in Upholding the Rule of Law”, provides a timely platform for discussions on maintaining independence within the criminal justice system, the crucial roles of victims and witnesses, and the evolving challenges posed by the digital age. With sessions focused on resilience in prosecution services and the impact of emerging technologies such as cryptocurrencies, the conference promises to enrich our prosecutors with new insights and strategies applicable to Zambia’s legal landscape.
Over the course of the next few days, from yesterday, 29th September to 2nd October, 2024, we will be sharing updates from the IAP conference in Baku, offering a closer look at the experiences and contributions of our three distinguished prosecutors. Their involvement in these global discussions will undoubtedly help refine prosecutorial practices and ensure that Zambia remains at the forefront of upholding justice and the rule of law.
We wish Ms. Muwamba, Mrs. Kennedy-Mwanza, and Mr. Mululu a successful and enriching experience at the conference, and we eagerly anticipate the knowledge they will bring back to further reinforce the NPA’s work.
