CIVIC EDUCATION: PASSPORTS & THE LAW IN ZAMBIA
1. What is a Passport?
A passport is a travel document, not proof of citizenship by itself.
Being Zambian is Citizenship under the Citizenship Act.
Having a passport is Permission from government to travel as a Zambian.

1. Important: Cancelling a passport & cancelling citizenship. If you’re Zambian by birth, you remain Zambian.

2. Who can cancel a Zambian Passport?
Under Section 15 of the Passports Act No. 2 of 2016, the Chief Passport Officer may cancel, revoke or impound a passport if satisfied that:

The 9 Legal Grounds:
1. (a) False information - Passport obtained with false statements
2. (b) Not a citizen- Holder is not Zambian
3. (c) Public interest / National security - it is in the public interest or in the interest of national security to cancel, revoke or impound the passport;
4. (d) Criminal conviction - the holder of the passport has been convicted of an offense and sentenced to imprisonment for a period of more than six months;
5. (e) Court order - A court has ordered it
6. (f) Dual citizenship not declared - Acquired other citizenship and failed to declare
7. (g) Lost / Damaged / Stolen
8. (h) Misuse - Passport is being misused
9. (i) Any other good cause
3. What must government do?
Section 15(2):
Where a passport is cancelled.. the Chief Passport Officer shall notify the holder of the passport in writing of the cancellation, revocation or impounding and the reasons.

You have a right to know WHY.

1. You cannot travel internationally - Airlines and immigration will see it as invalid.

2. You are still Zambian - The embassy/high commission must help identify you.

3. You can get an Emergency Travel Document to return to Zambia. Countries usually want citizens back home.

4. The country you’re in decides your stay based on their immigration laws.

No. Every country has its own proc

What justifies the goal is that between the top contenders, believe me or not are these two factors; 1. First Contender's die-hards are easy to identify because they appear to be speaking as a Sub set. 2. Second Contender's die -hards appear to have emanated from the universal set, in short they are open minded as opposed to the other's supporters choosing to be colour blind.

And now even if a subset worked aggressively it is impossible to make their preferred man to carry the day, no doubt their cast is focussed but their numbers will not guarantee an extra goal for their liberator.

leaders who receive appointments but squander the opportunity to serve others, instead of using it to enrich themselves, favour their friends and family, and settle scores with perceived enemies, may find themselves bereft of divine favour. It would be prudent for the appointing authority to recognize their ineffectiveness and replace them with leaders who prioritize serving the greater good.

May belief is that money will never be enough that is why it's nature calls for it to be generated every time, every day.

Empasised.

It's pretty clear that we love to waste time on debates instead of issues that affect the integral development of our society which consists quite a big number of vulnerable citizens. Topics on farming success, cooperative management skills training and the like never catch headlines unless how certain mere characters misbehaved somewhere is accorded much airtime.....surely can people living in environments of this kind manage to defeat poverty. A society where people wake up late, start work late, knock of early, sleep early and tease or intimidate those who want to sacrifice their time for a better tomorrow are reasons things don't add up.

The truth we hide will always cause injury at the point of emanation. And so if the existence of a problem is shown, there will be room for lasting solutions. certain vices have existed from time immemorial but all man has done is bury his heard in the sand like an Ostrich and pretend it's neither here nor there. So come now is what we are seeing. never the less God has always been merciful to us, no doubt it shall come to pass.
