Résumé

This Act empowers the President of zambia, whenever there is an Emergency Proclamation in force, to make such regulations as appear to him or her to be necessary or expedient for securing the public safety, the defence of the Republic, the maintenance of public order and the suppression of mutiny, rebellion and riot, and for maintaining supplies and services essential to the life of the community. Such Regulations may, among other things, authorize the taking of possession or control on behalf of the Republic of any property or undertaking or the acquisition on behalf of the Republic of any property other than land. Emergency regulations and any orders or rules made in pursuance of emergency regulations shall have effect notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith contained in any enactment but shall cease to have effect when the Emergency Proclamation in pursuance of which they have been made ceases to have effect, if not sooner revoked.
