Parliament Buildings History

At the time of Zambia’s Independence in 1964, Parliament was housed in inadequate and unsuitable premises behind the Government’s Central Offices in Lusaka, commonly known as the Secretariat Area.  It was, therefore, apparent at the time of independence that a more fitting Parliament building should be constructed to meet future expansion and also to provide adequate Members’ sitting and office accommodation.

Location

 The Parliament buildings are situated on Parliament road, off the Great East Road on the crown of a low hill east of the central business district of Lusaka. The Buildings are easily accessible by public transport as the Great East Road is one of the busiest commuter routes in the city. The notable developments in the vicinity are the Manda Hill and Arcades shoping malls, the Agricultural and Commercial Show Society showgrounds and the Mulungushi International Conference Center
