The Local Authorities Superannuation Fund (LASF) today convened a stakeholder engagement meeting with members of the Zambia Local Authorities Retirees and Pensioners Association (ZALARPA) in Lusaka. The session was led by LASF Managing Director, Mr. Milner Mooba, who provided updates on recent developments related the Fund and its members.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mooba informed participants that the LASF Act, recently assented to by the President, is awaiting the official commencement order before it can be fully operationalized. He emphasized that in preparation for its implementation, LASF will undertake an information clean-up exercise to ensure that the Fund maintains accurate records of its members and retirees. This initiative, he explained, is critical to safeguarding the integrity of the Fund and ensuring timely benefit payments.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mooba appealed to members to take proactive steps by ensuring their bank accounts remain active, submitting life certificates, and completing widow\u2019s affirmation forms. He further advised that life certificate forms should be accessed through the council and submitted systematically via the ZALARPA executive. This structured approach, he noted, will facilitate smoother processing and payment of annuity.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, ZALARPA President Mr. Mathews Nyakalale commended LASF management for consistently addressing the concerns of retirees and for demonstrating responsiveness to their needs. He expressed appreciation for the Fund\u2019s commitment to strengthening accountability and improving service delivery to its members.<\/p>\n

This engagement reflects LASF\u2019s ongoing efforts to foster collaboration with stakeholders and to prepare for the effective rollout of the new legislative framework.<\/p>\n
