The congratulatory letter dated 8th October 2022, reads:
Federal Ministry of Justice,
Fairley Road, Lusaka,
Republic of Zambia
My dear friend,
LETTER OF FELICITATION
The above subject matter refers.
I am delighted to hear of your appointment as the Director of Public Prosecution of the Republic of Zambia.
I know you as a discipline, strategic and proactive public interest lawyer and now a senior public officer. I confirm you have whatever positive endowments the institutions of Africa desire of its men. My sincere wish is that this message motivates you to reinvigorate the architecture of criminal investigation and prosecution as it arises in Zambia and position it for a crime free one.
Similarly, I hope you will use this new office to support the enforcement/passage of digital rights and open government legislations (particularly access to information law) in the country. This has a soft influence on criminal investigation and litigation and it can also deter young persons from crimes owing to the avalanche opportunities in these laws.
As you await the ratification of the National Assembly, I wish you the best of tenure as I cannot wait to see your contribution to the government of Zambia under the leadership of President Hakainde Hichilema
Yours faithfully,
President Aigbokhan, LL.B, LLM (AAU), BL, ACI. Arb
Lead, FOI COUNSEL
