Government says it expects the number of students
graduating from the Zambia Institute of Advanced Legal
Education (ZIALE) to increase following the measures that
have been put in place.
Minister of Justice Given Lubinda says government was
forced to push for the changes at ZIALE following complaints
from various stakeholders.
Mr. Lubinda says many people in the country do not have
access to legal services because of having few lawyers in the
country among other reasons.
He says it is the duty of government to ensure legal services
are accessed by everyone.
Mr. Lubinda has told ZNBC news that one way of achieving
this objective is by ensuring the number of students
graduating from ZIALE is increased.
He said much as some lawyers may not be happy with the
measures taken by government, the move is important as it
will serve many Zambians.
Mr. Lubinda said in other countries, access to legal service is
not a challenge hence the need for government to do the
same for the Zambian people.
