It's fantastic to see Zambia's commitment to tackling corruption through innovative means like the whistle-blowing hackathon. The Ministry of Technology and Science, led by Dr. Brilliant Habeenzu, has shown great initiative in fostering local solutions to national challenges. The dedication of participants from various sectors, including IT enthusiasts, students, and corporate entities, underscores the importance of collaborative efforts in advancing technology for social and economic progress.

The winners, Musekiwa Moyo, Davies Ikowa, and O'Brian Shinandu, deserve commendation for their outstanding contributions. Their prototypes of a whistle-blowing system reflect not only their technical prowess but also their commitment to promoting transparency and accountability in Zambia. The prize presentation ceremony held at the Mulungushi International Conference Centre in Lusaka must have been an inspiring moment, highlighting the potential of local innovation to drive positive change.

The involvement of organizations like the ICTAZ, under the leadership of CEO and Registrar Chellah Silavwe and President Dr. Clement Sinyangwe, is crucial in nurturing talent and promoting innovation within the information technology sector. By hosting regular hackathons and providing platforms for collaboration, the association plays a vital role in fostering a vibrant tech ecosystem in Zambia.

It's heartening to see initiatives like the whistle-blowing hackathon gaining momentum and contributing to Zambia's journey towards a digital economy. With continued support from both the government and private sector stakeholders, Zambia is indeed headed in the right direction in harnessing technology for development and combating corruption.
