For the National Prosecution Authority (NPA), that moment has arrived once again.Following the elevation of several senior prosecutors to the Judiciary, the Authority has announced a major leadership reorganisation, a transition that reflects both the depth of prosecutorial talent within the institution and the NPA\u2019s growing imprint on Zambia\u2019s justice system. Reflecting on the significance of the departures, the Learned Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr. Gilbert A. Phiri, SC, offered a striking measure of what the institution is losing: \u201cThe combined age of skill lost is over 50 years \u2014 total loss in terms of experience.\u201d Fifty years of accumulated expertise.Decades of institutional memory.Courtroom mastery forged through years of public service.
