21st February 2026
THE GOLDEN PARTY OF ZAMBIA (GPZ) has promised to ensure that indigenous Zambian companies are given priority in accessing opportunities tied to the country’s resources.
GOLDEN party of Zambia (GPZ) president Jackson Silavwe says under the “RESET VISION”, his party will create more Zambian millionaires and billionaires through increased participation of local businesses in major contracts.
Mr. Silavwe says his party will ensure that both citizens and foreign investors thrive, but stated that indigenous Zambian companies will be prioritised in accessing opportunities tied to the country’s resources.
He outlined several proposed measures, including amending existing laws to favour local contractors and suppliers in large Government and mining sector contracts added that mining sector contracts will be expressly reserved for local indigenous companies as primary contractors, with provisions allowing them to subcontract foreign firms where necessary.
The (GPZ) president who said the policy direction would help keep more money within the country besides stimulating economic expansion to generate employment for both skilled and unskilled citizens, emphasized that empowering local businesses is a sure way of significantly improving living standards besides unlocking the full potential of the indigenous economy.
Mr. Silavwe further hinted the need for stricter protections of public funds by criminalizing the supply of sub-standard goods and services to government, says his party will reset Zambia for economic transformation to benefit all citizens.
