" "I am a Zambian businesswoman and esteemed corporate leader who participated in the August 2021 presidential election as the candidate for the New Heritage Party. My career includes experience with the World Bank, and I made history as the first woman appointed as Chairperson of the boards of Barclays Bank Zambia (now ABSA) PLC and the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC). I have also served on numerous boards and committees across government, quasi-government, and private institutions. From 2012 to December 2017, I represented Africa on the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) under the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) in New York.

Additional quotes by Chishala Kateka

Beyond that, the challenges I face are similar to those encountered by politicians in general.
