UPND President Hakainde Hichilema says he will amend the Zambian Public Procurement Authority (ZPPA) and Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) Acts to suit the needs of Zambian companies, especially those owned by youths, women and people with disabilities if elected into government in 2016. Mr Hichilema says the legal provision will make it mandatory for government bodies and other private sector players to buy Zambian goods first as well as create procurement quotas for youths, women and people with disabilities. The UPND leader says he will push for a legislation that will make it mandatory for allocation of one-third of government contracts to young people, women, and disabled groups as well as investment in entertainment, sports and tourism industries. Addressing youth entrepreneurs over the weekend, in Lusaka,Mr Hichilema also said he will ensure his government starts by embarking on a five-year plan that will place emphasis on empowering Zambian youths, women and people with disabilities.
