A Promise Fulfilled."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Honourable Minister of Justice, Princess Kasune, visited the National Prosecution Authority (NPA) on 2<sup>nd<\/sup> July 2025, it was far more than a ceremonial appearance at the inauguration of the newly appointed Board. It marked the fulfilment of a quiet, personal commitment made at the very outset of her tenure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Appointed on 28<sup>th<\/sup> June 2024, the Minister was soon approached by the learned Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr. Gilbert A. Phiri, SC, with a singular and pressing appeal: to prioritise the appointment of a governing Board for the Authority. Made &nbsp;in measured tones, the request struck a chord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI promised him,\u201d she recalled, \u201cI said I will work on it.\u201d Reflecting on the moment, she added, \u201cI told myself, if I was to do just one thing for the NPA, it would be this. And here we are &#8211; just one year into my office.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her first official visit to the NPA, therefore, was not only historic &#8211; it was intentional. The inauguration of the Board closed a critical governance gap and affirmed a leadership style rooted in delivery, not declarations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A year on, her resolve has borne fruit. A request heard. A commitment honoured. And in her own words, a promise kept. Honourable Princess Kasune has proven, not with rhetoric but with action, that she is a woman who delivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.npa.gov.zm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-03-at-10.59.50-AM-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.npa.gov.zm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-03-at-10.59.50-AM-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.npa.gov.zm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-03-at-10.59.50-AM-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.npa.gov.zm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-03-at-10.59.50-AM-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.npa.gov.zm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-03-at-10.59.50-AM-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.npa.gov.zm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-03-at-10.59.50-AM.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hon.
