By Peter Sinkamba
Minister of Local Government says destruction of mobile booths for street vendors is aimed at sanitising Lusaka.
Street vending is a global issue. Law across the world, Zambia inclusive, provides for street vending.
Destruction of livelihoods in the name of sanitizing a business is ridiculous.
Prior engagement of affected parties is best public policy and practice.
