Copper belt & Southern Provinces | September 27, 2026 – A courtroom has walls. A radio signal does not.

During NPA Week 2026, the National Prosecution Authority (NPA) used the airwaves to take conversations about prosecution services, the law and the NPA Charter beyond the places where its officers could physically be present.

In Southern Province, radio became an important part of the week’s public engagement programme, with NPA teams from Choma, Livingstone, Mazabuka and Monze taking the Authority’s message to listeners across the region.

The Choma office opened proceedings on September 7 with a visit to YG Radio Station, followed by the Livingstone team’s engagement at Falls Radio Station on 8 September.

On September 10, the Mazabuka NPA team, led by Senior Public Prosecutor Mr. Danny Kaira, appeared on Mazabuka Community Radio Station.

The week concluded on September 12, with a live appearance by the Monze team on Byta Radio Station.

The broadcasts provided platforms to publicise NPA Week, explain the Authority’s mandate, unpack the NPA’s Service Delivery Charter and reinforce the importance of collaboration between the Authority and its stakeholders.

But radio offered something beyond simple amplification.
It allowed the NPA to enter people’s homes, workplaces and communities without requiring them to walk through the doors of a prosecution office or courtroom.

On the Copperbelt, radio programmes formed part of a wider provincial programme that also included school engagements.

Across these platforms, one message remained important: understanding the justice system requires understanding the different institutions that make it work.

The NPA’s role is distinct from that of the Police Service and the Judiciary, and explaining those distinctions helps members of the public better understand where prosecution services fit within the wider administration of justice.

The radio engagements also reinforced the importance of collaboration between the NPA and its stakeholders.

In that sense, the airwaves became another extension of the week’s central idea of bringing the Authority closer to the people it serves.

For NPA Week 2026, the conversation was not confined to courtrooms or formal meeting rooms.

It travelled through radio speakers into homes, workplaces and communities.

And wherever it travelled, the purpose remained the same which of to inform, to engage and to make the work of prosecution services better understood.
