22 July 2011
President Rupiah Banda will today leave for Kabwe to officiate at a pass-out parade for recruits at Lukanga Army Battle Training area.
This would be the second military pass-out parade that the president would be attending within one week, after the Zambia Air Force commissioning parade in Livingstone last week where the Head of State pledged to continue paying attention to the welfare of the men and women in uniform.
This is according to a statement released by the president’s special assistant for Press and public relations, Dickson Jere yesterday.
Mr Jere said President Banda would later in the afternoon address a public rally at Comet Grounds after the pass-out parade of intake 32 of 2011 at Lukanga Army Battle Training area.
He said this would be the president’s first public rally following the MMD’s adoption of parliamentary candidates for the 2011 elections.
The president would be expected to return to Lusaka at the end of the scheduled business in Kabwe.
