Speaker of the National Assembly of Zambia, Rt. Hon Justice Dr Patrick Matibini, SC, FCArb, MP has said partnerships at Constituency Office level have been uncoordinated and ad hoc resulting in the development of guidelines for governing the relationship and interface between the Constituency Offices and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).

Acting Clerk of the National Assembly Mrs Cecilia Mbewe has called on the media to support the National Assembly of Zambia in the implementation of the Communication Strategy for the institution if it is to succeed.  Mrs Mbewe said that the media is strategic in the implementation of the programme hence the need to engage them and solicit for support early before the programme is rolled out.
