Jacqueline Sabao, Member of Parliament for Chikankata, was deeply disturbed by a shocking incident in her constituency.
A man had allegedly impregnated a 14-year-old grade four pupil, a crime that had been ongoing since the victim was just 11 years old. Sabao knew she had to take a strong stance against such heinous crimes. 
With unwavering determination, Sabao issued a stern warning to would-be offenders involved in child sex cases. “Those found guilty of such crimes will face the full force of the law,” she emphasized, her voice firm and resolute.
This warning served as a powerful reminder that such crimes would not be tolerated and that perpetrators would be held accountable.
As a champion of women’s rights and a strong advocate for sexual and reproductive health issues, Sabao was committed to protecting vulnerable populations, especially children and women, from abuse and exploitation. She urged anyone with information about such crimes to come forward and report them to the authorities immediately.
Sabao’s warning reaffirmed the government’s commitment to protecting the rights and safety of all children. “We will not stand idly by while our children are exploited and harmed,” she stated, her words echoing the government’s determination to combat child sex crimes. With Sabao at the forefront, the people of Chikankata and Zambia as a whole could rest assured that their leaders were dedicated to creating a safer, more just society for all.
