OMINATED MMD Member of Parliament Raphael Nakacinda has sued the MMD in the Lusaka High Court seeking a declaration that his purported expulsion from the party is illegal, invalid and void.

Mr Nakacinda wants the court to declare that his purported expulsion from the MMD was illegal by reason of procedural impropriety and absolute defiance of the established rules of natural Justice.

He cited MMD national secretary Elizabeth Chitika as the defendant in this matter.

Mr Nakacinda also wants an order of interim injunction restraining Ms Chitika either by herself, agent, servant or otherwise from continuing to interfere with his membership in the MMD. He also seeks any other reliefs the court may deem fit plus costs.

According to his statement of claim Mr Nakacinda claimed that Ms Chitika informed him that he had been expelled from the party on allegation of arrogance, insubordination and disregard for the party leadership among others.

NAKACINDA SUES MMD OVER EXPULSION, SEEKS INJUNCTION Mr Nakachinda stated that Ms Chitika claimed the party was unable to serve him a letter requesting him to attend a disciplinary hearing on November 15, 2019.

He said this was in relation to an exculpatory letter rendered to him (Nakacinda) sometime in 2016 and that by its own admission, the party proceeded to consider its failure to notify him of the then pending disciplinary hearing to amount to arrogance, insubordination and disregard for party leadership.

He claimed that Ms Chitika accused him of holding meetings in Lusaka, Chipata, Luangwa and other places in the country and that he continued to bring the name of the MMD party into disrepute, slander thereby injuring the name of the party and abrogating sections of the MMD constitution.

Mr Nakacinda stated that he was accused of failure to adhere to the conditions of his suspension restraining him, his agents and servants

from having any dealings and contact whatsoever with party structures during the period of his suspension.

He stated that in the said letter the party through its national executive committee using their supposed coherent powers purported to be vested in them by Article 52(2) and 19 (N) of the MMD party constitution resolved to expel him from the party with immediate effect from June 20, 2020 .

"The plaintiff will show at trial that the defendant neither formally charged him on any of the grounds alleged in the defendants letter nor was he ever given an opportunity to be heard on the allegations levelled against him by the defendant," Mr Nakacinda said.

He stated that he only became aware of the purported alleged offences against him on June 22, 2020, the date he was informed of his wrongful purported expulsion from the MMD. Mr Nakacinda stated

that the allegations levelled against him were never communicated to him prior to his wrongful purported expulsion from the party.

He stated that no formal charge of any purported misconduct was ever prepared against him or if preferred the same was not communicated to him prior to his wrongful purported expulsion from the party.

Mr Nakacinda stated that he had therefore, suffered loss, damage and inconvenience. " The loss I continue to suffer at the hands of the defendant will be irreparable unless the defendant is restrained.

No prejudice will be occasioned to the defendant by the grant of an injunction but the interest of Justice will be saved.

I undertake to abide by the conditions which may be imposed by the court as to damages should this injunction be deemed to have been erroneously obtained," he stated.

CEC counter claims from Zesco in power tiff

By GRACE CHAILE and CHINTU MALAMBO COPPERBELT Energy Corporation (CEC) is counter claiming compensation from Zesco for loss of income in the Lusaka High Court, following Energy Minister Matthew Nkhuwa’s decision to suddenly end negotiations between it and Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) for the renewal of the power supply agreement.

This is in a matter where Zesco limited and Konkola Copper Mines in liquidation have sued CEC PLC for switching off the supply of power to KCM. The plaintiffs want an order or declaration that the action

by CEC to unilaterally restrict power supply to KCM contravenes the law as promulgated

Mr Nkhuwa under the Electricity Act (common Carrie) (Declaration) Regulations Statutory Instrument No.57 of 2020("S.I No.57 of 2020").

Zesco and KCM want an order of injunction restraining CEC by itself, directors and officers or its agents from

interfering in the time sheet agreement between Zesco and KCM through restricting KCM from receiving supply from Zesco pending determination of the matter.

CEC in its defence and counterclaim to Zesco and KCM's claims, said the decision by Mr Nkhuwa to declare its transmission and distribution lines as common carriers under statutory instrument No.57 of 2020 is the epitome of conspiracy between Zesco and KCM It said that it supplied stable and reliable electricity to the mining firm during the life of the Power Supply Agreement (PSA) therefore the term sheet signed between the two plaintiffs is a product of the conspiracy between them with intent to injure CEC in its business.

CEC said following Mr

Nkhuwa's directives to declare the transmission and distribution lines as common carriers, power was restored to KCM within hours and in any case CEC was contractually and legally entitled to restrict the supply of electricity to KCM's facilities due to its indebtedness to CEC. It charged that ZESCO had no right to impose terms for the PSA irrespective of the dominance in the market as terms of the PSA ought to be mutually agreed on by the parties. CEC claimed that Zesco decision to impose oppressive and non-negotiable terms was in breach of its Statutory duty against section 19(4) of the Electricity Act. It stated however, started that Zesco and KCM are not entitled to the reliefs they are claiming in their statement of claim.

Lusaka Town Clerk ordered to compile list of illegal structures

By NATION REPORTER LOCAL Government Minister Charles Banda has directed Lusaka Town Clerk Alex Mwansa to compile documentation from residents of Emmasdale who are illegally trying to extend structures.

Dr. Banda said he wanted to establish whether the documentation that the residents

claimed to have was genuinely obtained from the local authority.

The minister said after the findings, appropriate action would be taken because such illegalities needed to be stopped without fail.

Dr. Banda said institutions were supposed to be doing things in the right manner to serve the people of Zambia.

Speaking when he

conducted a spot check to address the complaints of some residents in Emmasdale area in Lusaka with Minister of Lands, Jean Kapata, Dr Banda said during his tenure in office he would never allow illegalities to escalate in the country.

“These are the things we have been talking about as Government. We can’t allow people to engage in illegalities,

we need to correct this, people to follow the right procedure instead of using dubious means. As Government we shall not allow that,” Dr Banda said.

And Ms Kapata said the two ministries and the local authority would have a meeting and correct the wrongs because Government was concerned with what was going on.

Zambia stuck with US$100m ivory

By PETER SICHALI ZAMBIA is still stuck with ivory worth more than US$100 million as it intensifies efforts to garner support for permission to dispose of the commodity which it cannot sell due to a global ban on ivory trade.

Tourism and Arts Permanent Secretary, Auxilia Ponga said Government had intensified efforts to mobilise support on sale of ivory following previous failed attempts to get permission to dispose of the commodity.

Dr Ponga said Zambia was stuck with 27, 234.28 kilogram of legally acquired ivory and over 14, 000 kilograms confiscated from poachers.

She said in an interview Zambia would need to seek the support from elephant range states, USA, potential consumer states such as China and Japan, regional economic blocs such as the European Union and BRICS (Brazil, Russia, China and South Africa).

Dr Ponga said considering the current circumstances, it was unlikely that Zambia would succeed in getting permission from CITES to sell part of or all the ivory stocks until more lobbying for support was done.

“According to the CITES Rules of Procedure, a proposal is passed by the parties that attend the CoP through consensus and through a two-thirds majority vote and therefore adequate preparations and lobbying to get international support for Zambia’s proposal is critical,” she said.

Dr Ponga said Zambia’s proposal needed two thirds majority votes at CoP to allow the country to sell ivory but efforts so far have been unsuccessful.

“Zambian’s proposal at Cop18 was in the negative mostly because there were elements of trade in ivory.

“To win support of majority members we need to show cause that much of the proceeds from the sale will be used to improve anti-poaching methods, recruit more wardens and improve monitoring of killing of elephants and set up elephant trade information system,” she said.

Dr Ponga said the country was running out of storage space as the stock numbers had continued to increase because elephants were dying out of aging and poaching.

Handle Mopani with care, MUZ warns State

By SILUMESI MALUMO

GOVERNMENT must handle Mopani Copper Mines matter well or else it will de-campaign them because people will lose confidence, the Mineworkers Union of Zambia (MUZ) has warned.

MUZ president Joseph Chewe said people were agitated with what was prevailing regarding the mining firm.

Mr Chewe said that it was unfortunate the government was not updating the nation on what had been discussed when it understood very well that a number of people were affected.

He said in an interview recently, currently over 8, 000 people had lost jobs at the mining firm and was wondering whether that was the ruling party’s manifesto to send people on the street.

Mr Chewe said if Government stood firm such huge numbers of people cannot

be thrown on the street and it was likely that the mining company would offload another bunch of employees as it had continued to insist putting the mines in Kitwe and Mufulira on care and maintenance.

He said Mopani had identified weakness in Government that was why it wanted to convince Government by all means so that it can be allowed to close the mines which would send about 11, 000 employees on the street.

He said it was important that Government arrested the tendency of the mining firm of getting rid of workers any time it felt like.

Mr Chewe said Government must use its powers to ensure that the miners were protected at all cost.

“If Government is not careful it will be left in an awkward situation by Mopani. And currently we are thinking as stakeholders that Government is not providing a sustainable solution on this matter.

So we are advising Government that the ball is in their hands to create certainty in this investment otherwise people might start losing confidence.

“We can’t be dealing with one issue every time, it is always Mopani retrenching and there have been no solution to stop this,” Mr Chewe said.

BAN CROWDS From Page 1

Meanwhile, 5 Members of Parliament have tested positive to Covid-19, Health Minister, Dr Chitalu Chilufya has said.

MQHZ Director General Quince Mwabu said in an interview the situation at hand needed serious intervention especially that the virus was a unique one.

Dr Mwabu said it was worrying that hospitals were daily receiving so many BIDs (brought in dead cases) for the first time in history, caused by the coronavirus.

"This is time to take very serious measures. Let all functions be suspended before we lose a lot of lives," he said.

Dr Mwabu noted that with the already overwhelmed poor health system, the country was not doing itself a favour by not taking the health guidelines seriously.

He said that citizens were not helping the situation by attending funerals among other public gatherings without strictly following the health guidelines.

He advised the public to always mask up, sanitise, wash their hands and always practice social distancing if the virus was to be suppressed.

And Dr Chilufya said the country has recorded 154 cases in the last 24 hours with two deaths bringing the death toll to 136.

He said the country has in the last 24 hours recorded 136 cases of Covid-19 with 16 patients on oxygen.

Dr Chilufya said all 5 MPs are in stable condition.

Dr Chilufya said the 154 cases are from routine community screening and

health facility screening.

From the community screening 70 cases were recorded in Lusaka, 29 in Kabwe, 12 in Kitwe and three in Ndola while 27 cases were through health care facility screening in Lusaka 16, Kitwe and two in Chingola.

Dr Chilufya said 11 are contacts to known positive cases. He said the death toll for Covid-19 cases has reached 136.

And the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) yesterday handed over three ventilators to the Ministry of Health out of six that will be donated to help Zambia’s frontline health personnel combat the novel coronavirus pandemic and save lives.

“Leveraging on our strengths in the procurement of life-saving drugs and equipment, UNDP is providing a total of six Aeonmed VG70 ventilators, worth US$114, 000 to the Ministry of Health, funded from our Core Resources as part of a UN system-wide support to help the government combat Covid-19,” the UNDP Resident Representative in Zambia, Lionel Laurens said at the handover ceremony.

Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo says the police headquarters has recorded some confirmed cases of Covid-19.

Mr. Kampyongo said the officers who tested positive have since been isolated for treatment and the entire premises has been disinfected.

He said during a press briefing that all police officers have been requested to undergo Covid -19 tests at designated places.

DEREGISTER OCIDA, SAYS DANNY PULE

HE registration of Civic Duty Association (OCIDA) as a non-governmental organisation (NGO) is a mistake and it should be deregistered and then registered as a political party under the Registrar of Societies, Christian Democratic Party president Danny Pule has said.

Dr Pule said OCIDA has all the attributes of a political party apart from being an appendage of the UPND with the aim of fighting President Edgar Lungu and the PF government politically.

Dr Pule also said a number of organisations were yet to be formed as the country is going towards general elections to de-campaign President Lungu

OVER K2.3 million pension fund has been paid to 984 non-bona fide beneficiaries by the Workers' Compensation Fund Control Board (WCFCB) since 2017, the latest Auditor General’s report on parastatals has revealed.

Government takes over Fountain of Hope GOVERNMENT says it will turn Fountain of Hope Orphanage into a grant aided institution to help meet its operational costs effective next year.

Minister of Youth and Sport, Emmanuel Mulenga says his ministry has already engaged the Ministry of Finance and commenced the process to turn the facility into a grant aided institution.

Mr Mulenga was speaking when he visited the orphanage in Lusaka’s Kamwala residential area.

The minister said the facility must not be allowed to close following the death of its founder and benefactor late Mwansabombwe Member of Parliament Rodgers Mwewa.

Mr Mulenga said the government will partner with the orphanage and

timents by OCIDA chairperson, Gilbert Temba that President Lungu had lamentably failed to deal with various governance issues in the country.

Mr Temba also wondered whether President Lungu’s conscience was allowing him to allegedly mutilate the constitution.

Dr Pule however said OCIDA was a political grouping with an aim to fight the Head of State, therefore, the people of Zambia must condemn their motives.

He said in an interview yesterday, Zambians should never tolerate organisations that want to bring confusion in the country.

Dr Pule said the members of the said organisation must be treated as politicians who want to dent the image of the Head of State who is doing every-

thing to improve the wellbeing of the country.

“OCIDA is not an NGO, I am very disappointed with the manner they registered a political party as an NGO. I believe that it should be deregistered as a non-governmental organisation, because it is a political party and it must be registered with the Registrar of Societies.

And this organisation was formed solely formed to fight President Lungu and the PF Government and especially to the run up to elections. So whatever they are doing it is clear, they are politically motivated,” Dr Pule said.

“We know that most of them including management and directors they are all opposed to President Lungu and PF. It is also a tribal organisation that is only meant to look after the UPND interests,” he said.

Hold engineers accountable for bad roads - PS

ENGINEERS who derail government projects should be blacklisted, says Copperbelt Permanent Secretary Bright Nundwe.

Mr Nundwe said some engineers do not mean well as they always derail government projects by missing certain components. He was speaking when three road agencies paid a courtesy call on him at his office, He suggested introduction of policies that will ensure such people are blacklisted.

He said that there is need to have exceptional engineers in their dealings, adding that Government is losing large sums of money through engineers who display some deficiency.

Mr Nundwe observed that there are some roads that were done many years ago but are still solid and intact.

He suggested the government should come up with a policy where

engineers are profiled according to the project that they have undertaken.

Speaking earlier RDA board chairperson Samuel Mukupa said that the three board members were in the province to appreciate operational challenges that officers from the three agencies are facing and to assess the levels of preparedness for officers regarding the Covid 19.

He said the government is concerned with levels of care and maintenance of the three agencies’ infrastructure.

Mr Mukupa said th government is spending huge sums of money to put up infrastructure hence the need to emphasise the aspects of care and maintenance so that they stand the test of time.

RTSA board chairperson Dr Cornelius Chipoma also said the board members wanted to appreciate the road infrastructure development and to have an overview of how the transport sector is coping amid the coronavirus.

COVID-19 DEATHS REAL SELF-DISCIPLINE is the hallmark in most, if not all, undertakings that have been successful in Zambia and world over.

Lack of this important value has unfortunately been rife in many careless individuals, who only realise the depth of their predicament at the 11th hour.

In Zambia, some people tend to become political even on matters that require cohesion and concerted efforts.

The case of Covid-19!

Sadly, some loud-mouthed individuals want to speak against every initiative, even those which are aimed at saving human life at a very critical time.

At the moment, the global community is confronted with the challenge of bringing down one of the most fast-spreading viral diseases, which has claimed many productive lives.

The Covid-19 cases, which seemed to have been reducing in initial stages, are now spiralling upwards in Zambia.

Some people have proffered empty arguments about Covid-19, but are now gnashing their teeth.

Yes, Covid-19 is real; it is a killer disease!

Yet, some people have also taken an academic front row to school the media not to “instill fear” in the citizens through messages such as “mask up or die.”

The truth still remains that Covid-19 kills and the media has the duty to tell it all instead of being euphemistic.

Carelessness in townships and public places abound!

Therefore, there is no better way of putting it under the circumstances; the message must get across so that citizens are informed about the consequences of ignoring preventive measures.

The media and others managing information on the pandemic must tell the story and in fact emphasise the deadly effect, especially in a scenario where some people are disputing the existence of the Covid-19.

It will not be enough to simply maintain a narrative of “keep safe” without explaining the deadly effect of not keeping safe.

It is a fact that viral infections are difficult to manage especially in people with underlying conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma and other respiratory conditions.

Why should a few careless characters endanger the lives of people with such conditions!

It is mind-boggling that even with the regular national address showing rising cases, some rogue citizens are drinking and dancing their nights away in beer dens along with their companions of the opposite sex.

In Kitwe, Town Clerk Mbulo Seke has sent a strong warning to revellers who have a tendency of dancing in the face of the raging Covid-19 behind closed doors in bars and night clubs.

The rules are clear, but charlatans want to spoil the soup by abrogating clear guidelines in their careless beer drinking escapades.

While some disobedient citizens are gyrating their waists in the night clubs, other misfits are colluding with restaurant owners to gulp beer in large volumes from such premises.

This is at the height of awareness campaigns across media outlets including bill-boards at every strategic location.

The Kitwe Town Clerk yesterday for the umpteenth laid out the regulations governing operations of restaurants under the “New Normal.”

Mr Seke clearly guided that the number of clients to be admitted at any one moment in a restaurant should not exceed the certified seating capacity; number of clients per table should be limited to two at not less than one metre social distance.

Additionally, no client without a seat or table should be allowed to remain in the restaurant while beer should be restricted to two bottles or glasses.

Even with such clear guidelines, some people are still going overboard.

Therefore, the media must just tell it as it is; mask up to avoid infection and death!

NCZ LOSES K453, 000 IN UNDELIVERED FERTILISER

By SILUMESI MALUMO

NITROGEN Chemicals of Zambia (NCZ) lost K453, 488 paid to Zal-Bro Trading Limited for supply of urea fertiliser in 2018 which was never delivered, the Auditor General’s report has revealed.

The report indicated that on December 4, 2018, NCZ signed an agreement with Zal – Bro Trading Limited for the supply and purchase of 1, 000 metric tonnes of fertilizer.

According to the agreement, Zal-Bro Trading Limited was to supply 1, 000 metric tonnes of urea fertiliser at an agreed fixed amount of US$375 per metric tonne bringing the total contract sum to US$375, 000.

The fertiliser was to be collected from a designated warehouse in Lusaka at NCZ’s cost within 14 days.

US$37, 500 being 10 percent of the contract sum as provided in the contract.

‘Chitimukulu, HH division is work of enemies’

NORTHERN Province United Party for National Development (UPND) chairperson Nathan Ilunga says it is appalling that there are people driving a wedge between the Chitimukulu and UPND president Hakainde Hichilema.

And PF youths in Muchinga Province have said they are outraged by the uncultured trend of insults, attacks on Mwine Lubemba Paramount Chief Chitimukulu by the UPND leadership and its cadres and their plan to dethrone him should they party form Government.

Muchinga Province PF youth information and publicity secretary Francis Robert Kapyanga has asked the UPND leadership to leave Paramount Chief Chitimukulu out of politics.

“We want to warn UPND and Mr. Hichilema to stop dragging the name of our Paramount Chief in their tribal politics and demand that they abort their maneuvers of exporting tribalism to Bembaland.

“They must also render a direct, clear and unambiguous public apology to His Royal Highness Paramount Chief Chitimukulu and the Bemba speaking people or risk be-

Law Commission proposes electronic voting THE Zambia Law Development Commission has recommended electronic voting as one of the means to actualise prisoners’ rights to vote.

It has also recommended that the Electoral Process Act be amended by repealing section nine sub-section one clause “E” and section 47 to establish polling stations in Correctional facilities.

Zambia Law Development Commission Chairperson, Roydah Kaoma says it has also recommended that the Prisons Act Chapter 97 of the Laws of Zambia, must be reviewed to enhance prisoners’ access to information.

Justice Kaoma, who is also Supreme Court Judge, says the move will additionally enable the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to access Correctional Facilities.

ing declared "Persona non grata" in the Bembaland by our vigilant youths,” Mr. Kapyanga said.

He asked subjects to paramount chief Chitimukulu to defend their traditional leader against what he terms as “dirty and cheap tribal mafias” in the UPND. “We also want to appeal to all well-meaning subjects (Bembas) of Paramount Chief Chitimukulu (Mwinelubemba) to rise up and not only limit to defend him against “dirty and cheap tribal Mafias” in the UPND who have littered the political space with tribal and regional politics but also reject them at the ballot in 2021.

“Because ethnic politics can drag Zambia down the drain of anarchy and blood shed if allowed to continue. For the youths who are being used by these tribal mercenaries to insult elders on social media and other platforms, we wish to remind them that you must respect elders in society,” he said.

But commenting on media reports that Mr. Hichilema is plotting to oust paramount Chief Chitimukulu if he forms Government, Mr. Ilunga said Mr. Hichilema is a gentleman who can never utter such abominable words.

She says the recommendations follow the finalisation of the survey carried by the commission, after a request by the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Justice Kaoma says the request was issued in 2018 after the 2017 Constitutional Court Judgement in the Case of Godfrey Malembeka versus the Attorney General, which validated the right to vote among prisoners under lawful custody.

She disclosed this during a virtual meeting in Lusaka, encompassing officials of the Zambia Law Development Commission, Zambia Correctional Service, Electoral Commission of Zambia and Zambia Centre for Interparty Dialogue-ZCID. Prisons Care and Counselling Association Executive Director Godfrey Malembeka and other stakeholders also participated in the virtual meeting.

Meanwhile, the report also revealed that a review of the NCZ internal audit report dated August 14, 2018 on the audit of fertiliser on cash sale and debt swaps show that on May 2, 2017, NCZ supplied 90 metric tonnes of Compound D fertiliser costing K432, 000 to Chimsoro Farms Ltd. Further examination of records revealed that although the fertiliser was delivered in May 2017, NCZ only raised the invoice in July 2019.

Chinese counterfeit ATM cards case ruling set for Aug 21

By OLIVER SAMBOKO

THE state has closed its case in the matter where a Chinese, Weng Jin Chang is appearing in the Lusaka Magistrate's Court for allegedly stealing K17, 500 using Zanaco counterfeit ATM cards.

Weng Jin Chang, 36, is charged with three counts of unlawful possession of Automated Transmission (ATM) cards, unauthorised access of data and theft.

In count one, the accused is charged with unlawful possession of a device designed to overcome security measures for protection of data contrary to section 99(3) of the Electronic Communications and Transaction Act number 21 of 2009 of the Laws of Zambia.

It is alleged that between May 1 and July 10, 2019, Weng possessed Automated Transmission (ATM) cards which were primarily designed to overcome security measures for the protection of data.

In count two, Weng is charged with unauthorised access of data contrary to section 99(1) and 99(8) of the Electronic Communications and Transaction Act number 21 of 2009 of the Laws of Zambia.

Particulars of the offence are that the accused intentionally accessed data stored in a critical data base namely, Zanaco data base.

In the third count, Weng is charged with theft contrary to section 272 of the Penal Code Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia. It is alleged that on July 10, 2019, Weng stole K17, 500, from Zanaco ATM. And testifying as state witness, Mark Hansingo, 46, head of security at Zanaco, explained that to ensure the bank properties are secured, all its premises and installations are installed with CCTV cameras and recorders.

He said on July, 11, 2019, he received search warranties from DEC requesting for CCTV footage particular ATM transaction at Mukuba Mall Branch in Kitwe.

Mr Hansingo who produced a flash disk in court containing footage showing the accused withdrawing money at an ATM, told the court that according to the ATM report and the footage, the accused made five transactions totalling K17, 800.

Another witness, a DEC anti money laundering officer, Patrick Kafusha said on June 14, 2019, information was received that four Chinese nationals were apprehended for suspected ATM fraud.

He told the court that documents, a laptop, two wallets, ATM cards and point of sale (POS) machines were also seized from the suspects.

Mr Kafusha said during the investigations, the suspect accepted to have withdrawn the money but claimed that the same was rental payment from his tenant.

Magistrate Mwaka Mikalile has since adjourned the matter to August 21 2020, for ruling on case to answer.

‘Great North Road is stressed’

By NOEL IYOMBWA in Kapiri Mposhi ROAD Development Agency board chairperson Samuel Mukupa has observed that cracks on the Great North Road is an indication that the road is stressed.

Mr Mukupa said that it is imperative for Government to work on Lusaka Ndola road (Great North Road) which he said has been stressed.

He said the stage and levels of stretches along the road speaks volumes how stressed the road has been.

Mr Mukupa stated that even in the midst of less funding, government will come up with a program to work on roads to better levels.

He said the government is committed to ensuring that there is a good road network in the country.

Mr Mukupa noted that the construction of urban roads in Lusaka and the Copperbelt among other roads is one of governments commitment to-

wards improving the road network.

He observed that reinstating railway is another way of increasing the life span of roads as abnormal loads can use railway.

And National Road Fund Agency board chairperson Christerbel Banda said that the rolling out of toll plazas has been successful.

She said that the project has contributed to the growth of the road network in the country.

Ms Banda empahasized that the money raised from toll gates was being ploughed back.

She explained that apart from raising funds from toll plazas, government has been contributing funds to support the various projects.

‘STOP DISRESPECTING CHITIMUKULU’ It is a big insult to insinuate that Paramount Chief Chitimukulu is being used to divide the nation.

They are even insulting him more instead of making amends.

This is an indication that UPND has been exposed and they are not happy about it. - Mr Bwalya

T is disrespectful to suggest that Paramount Chief Chitimukulu was being used by anyone when the traditional leader has always been independent and a free thinker, a Patriotic Front (PF) member has said.

PF official and former Mandevu constituency secretary, Lemmy Bwalya said in an interview yesterday, it was disrespectful for the UPND to continue demeaning the Mwinelubemba through unfounded allegations.

“It is actually a big insult to insinuate that Paramount Chief Chitimukulu is being used to divide the nation. They are even insulting him more instead of making amends. This is an indication that UPND has been exposed and they are not happy about it,” he said.

Mr Bwalya said it was an insult to the Paramount Chief for the UPND to insinuate that

Paramount Chief Chitimukulu the traditional leader could stoop so low as to be used as a tool to cause division.

UPND media director Ruth Dante in a statement yesterday said Paramount Chief Chitimukulu was allowing himself to be used as a tool by persons with ulterior motives meant simply to divide people through discredited and debunked tribal labelling.

Ms Dante, who called on the Mwine Lubemba not to be used by people alleged to have ulterior motives said the opposition political party had no

‘WHY VACANT UPND VEEP POSITIONS?’ …HH doesn’t trust top lieutenants – YALI

By PETER SICHALI HAKAINDE Hichilema's failure to replace his two vice presidents is an indication that he does not have confidence in senior party officials, Young African leaders Initiative (YALI) governance advisor Isaac Mwanza has said.

Mr Mwanza said the UPND president’s failure to replace his two vice presidents who resigned from the party is worrying especially that their constitution gives

him power to make the appointments.

"We have observed that while Mr. Hichilema has appointed almost everyone to their current positions in the National Management Committee, he has continued to run without the vice president himself," Mr Mwanza said.

"Mr Hichilema's failure to appoint the two vice presidents entails that he does not have confidence in the senior members of the party, some of whom are

part of the founding members of UPND," Mr Mwanza observed.

He said it was worrying to see the country’s largest opposition party being steered by only one man who may not be trusting any of his senior members for the second position within the party.

"One of the main reasons even the Constitution was changed to allow a vice president as a running mate was to ensure that having a deputy must not be left to the wishes of the man who becomes

Panji's bitterness towards Tasila uncalled for

By KETRA KALUNGA COLONEL Panji Kaunda's bitterness toward Tasila Lungu is uncalled for because he should consider her as his daughter, a clergyman has said.

Col. Kaunda has been calling for the arrest of President Edgar Lungu's daughter, Tasila over the approximately 3790 hectares Forest Number 70 (Chimutengo Forest) which is said to be a gazetted land in Sinda.

Evangelical Youth Alliance President, Reverand Moses Lungu said the role Col. Kaunda has taken over the land issue involving the President's daughter was quiet an embarrassing one and could be viewed as such by his father,

first republican President, Doctor Kenneth Kaunda.

Rev Lungu said yesterday in an interview that Col Kaunda was expected to take a parental role over the matter as oppossed to advocating for the arrest of Tasila whom he described as his own daughter.

The clergy man said Col. Kaunda should have been more of a statesman over the matter than anyone else having been the son to the first republican President who held the office for 27 years which he said was not without flaws.

"Have been following Col. Panji Kaunda, he seems to be extremely bitter with President Edgar Lungu and when people could have

expected the opposite from him, he is antagozing Tasila, calling her names, it's so embarrassing.

"He is been in State House before, he understands things better from a better perceptive, a very informed perceptive than Tasila," said Rev. Lungu.

Rev. Lungu has urged Col. Kaunda to take a more proactive role in ensuring that the country has a successful Presidency as opposed to expressing his bitterness over issues that were within his means to be of help to President Edgar Lungu's daughter, Tasila.

He said President Edgar Lungu has been diplomatic towards Col. Kaunda's father, Dr Kenneth Kaunda and his family and has on a number of occasions consulted

intentions of dethroning him.

Mwinelubemba said Mr Hakainde Hichilema and the UPND had resolved to dethrone him as Chitimukulu as soon as they step into the corridors of power.

Ms Dante however advised the Paramount Chief not to be used.

“As UPND, we try our best to skirt around from engaging our Royal Highnesses everywhere publicly. We hold them in high esteem as custodians of our diverse cultural diversity and as key partners in our

republican President," he said.

Mr Mwanza said it is sad that Mr Hichilema is sending the wrong signal about supporting the institution of the Vice President if he cannot have one within his own party.

Mr Mwanza has advised the UPND to hold intra party elections in line with the Republican Constitution.

He has also challenged Mr Hichilema to state when the position of the Vice President will be filled.

He said senior leaders of the UPND should be worried that Mr Hichilema has departed from the founding ideals of late Anderson Mazoka and others who made a provision in their party Constitution that the UPND must have at least two vice Presidents.

him on several issues, therefore he "President Lungu' to that effect, deserved some respect.

“Rev. Lungu said President Lungu has never antagonised Col. Kaunda's father, ever since he ascended to power and if anything else consulted him on a number of issues, I think he deserves same respect to the effect," saud Rev. Lungu.

"I knew Col.Kaunda is extremely bitter, he campaigned a lot for the PF especially in Eastern province, he literally moved miles and miles to try and put things together but where he has fallen off I don't know," he said.

Rev. Lungu has advised Col. Kaunda to find a better way of addressing his concerns instead of creating a perception about the President's daughter which he said was not correct.

holistic development agenda for Zambia. This includes even those who may be harbouring hatred against us and our leadership.

“If he surely said those words, we then don’t know exactly where this is coming from. We are at his disposal to be summoned to address his concerns candidly as is befitting his status in society,” Ms Dante said in a statement.

And UPND Southern Province information and publicity secretary, Neto Halwabala, also said it was unfortunate that some people were misinforming and misleading the traditional leader.

‘Arrest cyber-bullying perpetrators’

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA ARREST perpetrators of cyber bullying against women and set an example and warning to would -be offenders, Patriotic Front (PF) national chairperson for women Jean Kapata has said.

Ms Kapata observed that levels of cyber bullying against women was high in the country, a situation she said should be seriously and urgently addressed.

She said that cyber bullying against women was a danger to development as most women fear to come out in the open to contest for decision-making positions.

Ms Kapata, who is also Lands Minister Mandevu Member of Parliament, was speaking in an interview.

"Let the Zambia Police move in quickly and arrest perpetrators because most of them are known. Let them know that the act is a serious crime that does not only discourage women from participating in national. matters but also causes psychological pain on the affected women," she said.

Ms Kapata complained that it was unfortunate that the majority of people looked at women as weaker vessels.

Women, she said, were being bullied so often, especially in the political arena and the situation was discouraging many of them to get into public activities.

WB STAKES $160BN HEALTH FINANCING

“We will need to work closely between the public and private sectors, particularly helping the private sector get back on its feet and in this way, facilitate the preservation and creation of new jobs,”

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU “Restoring people’s lives and livelihoods through education, jobs, and access to health care; and helping firms and financial institutions regain a solid footing,” Mr Trotsenburg said.

T

HE World Bank plans to provide up to US$160 billion in financing from April 2020-June 2021, for mitigating the health emergency as well as dealing with the economic and social impact of Covid-19.

This effort involves all the Bank Group’s financing arms, with about 2/3 of this financing from the public sector arm, says World Bank Managing Director of Operations, Axel van Trotsenburg.

Mr Trotsenburg said the group was organising a crisis response across the three stages of relief, re-

structuring and resilient recovery.

He explained in a statement that the first stage involved emergency response to the health threat posed by Covid-19 and its immediate social, economic and financial impact.

“Then, as countries bring the pandemic under control and start reopening their economies, the restructuring stage focuses on strengthening health systems for future crises.

“Restoring people’s lives and livelihoods through education, jobs, and access to health care; and helping firms and financial institutions regain a solid footing,” Mr Trotsenburg said.

Mr Trotsenburg indicated that the resilient recovery stage entailed helping countries build a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future in a world

‘Provide alternative for tobacco growers’

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU THERE is need to address measures and strategies aimed at ensuring alternative sustainable livelihoods for tobacco growers, says Centre for Trade Policy and Development (CTPD).

CTPD Researcher for Legal, Chileshe Mange, said tobacco Control Bill if effectively implemented would enable the country to make significant gains in reducing the burden of harmful effects of tobacco on the Zambian public.

Ms Mange recommended that Government should developed a national policy on tobacco control to synergise efforts between the various sectors.

She was speaking at the launch of CTPD’s analysis on the Tobacco and Nicotine Products Control Bill 2018.

“There is need to address measures and strategies aimed at ensuring alternative sustainable livelihoods for tobacco growers,’’ Ms Mange said.

CTPD board member, Mercy Siame, urged Government to prioritise the tabling of the draft Tobacco Control Bill and develop policies that were aligned with and support its effective implementation.

Guard against cyber-crime, businesses advised

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU BUSINESSES need to continually monitor their internal network security systems and architecture as they navigate the Covid-19 environment which has forced companies to adopt digital platforms.

Covid-19 has created new and complex commercial logistical challenges of managing cyber risk for businesses, says Institute of Risk Management Zambia (IRMZ) Executive Director, Francis Ziba.

Mr Ziba observed that the current business environment created by Covid-19 needed companies to adopt the digital platform which also came with cyber risks.

“Many businesses have failed to accelerate the pace of digital transformation across their value chains and supply management systems and

to coordinate in a dispersed and digital workforce to the scale and capacity that meet the need of greater digital distribution in ecommerce,” he said.

Mr Ziba said the digital platforms increased in velocity had led to major increases in cyber security risks as hackers or criminals had intensified their level of thrash as they try to exploit and take advantage of the current Covid-19 situation.

He warned that hackers had become opportunistic and unfortunately, they had seized the corona virus outbreak to exploit the weakest link in cyber security, human element.

“With most organizations displacing their workforce from offices, this has led to an abundance of more avenues and opportunities for hackers and attackers to exploit and

gain access to networks and sensitive information,” Mr Ziba said.

He urged businesses to ensure that employees were trained to detect cyber-attacks before allowing remote connections and know how to report a system compromise.

“A lot of risky employee behaviour such accessing social media platforms while using company network computers or unnecessary issuing of sensitive personal or company data tend to lead to most of these vulnerabilities which hackers exploit.

“Businesses need to continually monitor their internal network security systems and architecture, including network access controls and weaknesses by putting in place remote access review mechanisms for risk-based access and authentication,” he said.

KALULU TAPUSUKA MIPYA IBILI (Part iv)

...open letter to President Lungu

By DR. HENRY KANYANTA SOSALA “KALULU tapusuka mipya ibili,” is a Chibemba proverb which can literally be translated as: “The hare does not escape the burning plains twice.” The actual lesson is that no one should take his luck for guaranteed or push one’s lucky star too far.

Politics is said to be a dirty game because of how it is played. A lot of scheming, deceit and intrigues are employed to attain desired goals.

Some even involve in character assassination as in the case at hand.

In the first place, it was just too much of a coincidence that the serious false allegations you are about to read by Mainda Simataa were brought up after the joint statement of condemning me by the leaders of the Opposition Alliance.

And in Chibemba we say: “Ubushiku bwaluba umukote ne cimbwi canye mfwi. Kanshi abantu bonse kuti batila cimbwi eulile shikulu bantu.” And according to Dr. Lumbwe’s translation this means: “The day an old person goes missing, the hyena has grey hair in its dung. And the people would automatically conclude that the hyena has eaten the missing old man.” And therefore three leaders i.e., Messrs. Hichilema, Milupi and Lukuku are automatically involved.

Here is what Mainda Simataa wrote: THE SKELETONS IN CHITIMUKULU’S CLOSET:………. Then BOOM! I remembered the story of how boxes of “ENGRAVED FORM” - codename for Bank of Zambia (BoZ) CASH IN TRANSIT went missing under the chiefs watch when we worked as an accountant at Zambia Airways.

He reportedly served jail time, and may be those traumatic years in isolation are coming back to affect his mind.

The short story is that on dates unknown, but certainly before many of us were born, a certain airport forklift driver accidently pierced a carton box marked “ENGRAVED FORM’,” and was astonished to see money coming out, and he quickly reported to the boss, Chief.

It’s said Chief and his few friends decided to pounce on some of the boxes. BoZ security quickly discovered the scam and traced it back to Chief. President Kaunda was alerted about the young crown prince’s mischief, and immediately ordered that the culprits be arrested and brought to book.

State lawyers however reported back that they couldn’t secure a solid conviction because the prosecution could not prove to the court that “ENGRAVED FORM” was missing, and that it was actually money, and therefore state property.

However, President Kaunda couldn’t let a legal technicality get in the way of Justice. He confiscated all the houses chief had bought in Chelstone, and Chief was sent to jail. But Kaunda was kind enough to spare the prince from hard labour, and arranged long-distance studies for him

were he eventually became a prison graduate in philosophy from an Australian University. Question is, what moral right does Chief have to lecture youths when he has passed secrets he hides? We want answers. SO WISE CHIEF, TELL US ABOUT “ENGRAVED FORM.” I can honestly confess that I was confused when a friend sent the story to my e-mail. Indeed, I had many years heard that money in transit had been stolen at the Lusaka International Airport after I had left the airline.

And incidentally I have never been trained in accounts but was trained by then Central African Airways in the airline’s management and operations and have never been to Australia to study prison philosophy.

ELECTIONS My worry is that there is somewhere in the Constitution an article which I cannot now recall where it is stated that one can raise issues or complaints which can if proved valid can disqualify a person from standing for elections. _____________________________

But this would, I am sure, prove fatal to many innocent people if you can deduce from my earlier predicament. It was the same for President Lungu, some evil went to Eastern Province trying to prove that he was a Malawian.

I was at a total loss because I had left Zambia Airways in 1968 and I was being accused about something that might have happened 52 years earlier (i.e., 1968-2020). Where would my starting point of defence be?

When I tried to figure out where to start, I realised that most of my then former colleagues who could vouch for my innocence that I had actually left employment at the time of the theft were dead and definitely my conspirator was among the four living former workmates.

In fact, I was very sure that my Judas Iscariot was among the living four because the author used the term “engraved form” which was a secret code used by CAA airlines to conceal the real contents of any parcels which contained money on cargo manifests and only the senior staff knew of it and such parcels were normally sent by what was called the “hand of the pilot.”

And humanly speaking, I was pinned down and there was totally no way out and I believe my conspirator was celebrating and no wonder he even taunted me in big letters: “SO WISE CHIEF, TELL US ABOUT ENGRAVED FORM.” And I agree with most of the people who think that such an individual who can tell such blatant lies with a

seared conscience must be an initiated Freemason and Satanist and a member of the Grand Lodge of Zambia which is the Masons Temple in Lusaka’s Cha Cha Cha Road.

And as usual what actually the group of satanists had not taken into account in their equation to damage my reputation was the presence of the Living and Almighty God in the universe. It is said that God’s Word is absolute truth and triumphs over every issue of life.

It holds the solution to every problem. And being a staunch Catholic, I strongly believe and I have proved far beyond any doubt that the Rosary is a tremendous and powerful weapon against Satan. And there are “15 promises of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Christians Who Recite the Rosary.”

And Promise number 11 states: “You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the rosary.”

And therefore having prayed on the rosary about my predicament, I travelled to Lusaka and on Monday, July 13, 2020, I walked into the National Achives library without any idea of what I was going to do in there! But in an instant, I requested for copies of the Times of Zambia from January to December 1969.

And after about five hours of perusal and when I was just about to give up just then, I came upon the Times of Zambia of September, 1969 where it was reported that Barclays Bank was offering a reward of K5, 000 to any information leading to the arrest of a person who stole two parcels containing K53, 000 which was in transit. The money was sent from Barclays Bank Livingstone branch to the head office in Lusaka.

Then BOOM and my eyes almost popped out of my sockets, Times of Zambia of November 8, 1969 came out with the headline: GOOD-TIME THIEF WHOPED UP ON K53, 000. …….’’The man was jailed for five years for stealing two parcels containing K53, 000, and he gave himself away by throwing a series of wild parties and gave out money to those who attended.

He is Anaiya Zulu, the 29-year-old

ENVY

As I indicated in PART III, the problem arises in many people mainly from lack of self-contentment and self-confidence since they see more in me than in themselves which translates into uncontrollable envy.

Zambia Airways porter who stole the parcels while off-loading a plane at Lusaka International Airport. The money had been sent from Barclays Bank in Livingstone and was destined for main branch in Lusaka.

Zulu admitted that he was the airport thief and told the detectives that he had a lot of experience handling parcels. In a house search police recovered more than K19, 000 and more money was found at his home village in Katete. Property worth hundreds of Kwacha was also seized. Police are still investigating the whereabouts of the remaining cash.”

There, the truth lay bare before me and then suddenly hot tears ran down my cheeks upon realising the magnitude of hatred these people have in store for me and I profusely thanked the Lord.

But why? It’s a spiritual battle to try and destroy my scarlet thread or star. Every human being carries a scarlet thread or star at birth which signifies destiny. However, the scarlet thread or star bestowed upon individuals greatly differ depending upon destiny.

For example, in the book of Matthew 2:2 it is stated, “….Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east and we have come to worship him.” In some cases, the star is a symbol of power and authority! It is a symbol of honour, dignity and greatness.

Every battle of life is tied to one’s destiny and to every destiny there is

a scarlet thread which one’s enemies want to cut; burn; control or dim it’s shining!

And I have for many years kept wondering what sort of star that I carry and for which people are after. I have people who in their fertile evil imaginations created terrible lies about me to destroy my integrity; created situations where friends suddenly become antagonistic against me; situations where I am rescued from danger at the last minute.

For instance, I was at one time fast asleep at Lusaka’s Chrismar Hotel, when my brother Colonel Chanda Sosala came to wake me up and urgently asked me to dress up in a woman’s clothing because he had just received an urgent call from a senior diplomat at the Zambian mission in London that I should quickly move out of the hotel, otherwise something bad was going to happen to me.

My worry is that there is somewhere in the Constitution an article which I cannot now recall where it is stated that one can raise issues or complaints which can if proved valid can disqualify a person from standing for elections.

But this would, I am sure, prove fatal to many innocent people if you can deduce from my earlier predicament. It was the same for President Lungu, some evil went to Eastern Province trying to prove that he was a Malawian. Then they later came up with a story that he was a “duplicate Edgar Lungu.”

And as I indicated in PART III, the problem arises in many people mainly from lack of self-contentment and self-confidence since they see more in me than in themselves which translates into uncontrollable envy.

I have, however, made it a habit to daily read Psalm 91. I have now for many years kept the words of British Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill: “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.”

Letter to Mr Hakainde Hichilema

PF should send mundubile, Chilufya and GBM to Lukashya to campaign Dear Editor, LUKASHYA Constituencyin Kasama may not be as easy as it looks on paper because of too many political players on the ground and economic turbulence that has clearly affected our people on the ground.

There is a BEMBA saying that goes like “Amano yafuma mwifwesa yaingila muchulu.”

It will be politically wise to use the same campaign team that we used in Chilubi if truly we want to win Lukashya constituency with a huge margin.

I know some people will say why Dr. Chitalu Chilufya who is facing court cases. Let me put it on record that he is facing court cases as a Minister not for being a member of the PF and that should be treated as a separate legal entity from the affairs of the party.

Therefore when need arises for him to work for the party and deliver desired goals we should never look at him as a minister or

someone facing court cases but as a bonafide member of the PF who is capable of delivering according to people’s expectations in the best interest of the party and President Edgar Lungu.

The campaign team in Chilubi was too solid, well equipped and extremely powerful in the sense that it delivered more votes as compared to what the party got in 2016 leaving the opposition with no reason to complain about their loss.

In Eastern Province, there is a saying that goes like “Chisilu chinaona nkondo.”

The PF must also send in serious intelligence personnel on the ground with the interest of the party and President Lungu at heart so as to get raw data on who is really on the ground having a good relationship with both the ground and traditional leaders making it easy for our party to have an outright victory.

I am afraid if we are going to treat Lukashya Constituency by-election with kids gloves we may just end up facing the same fate we faced in Roan constituency which will give the opposition confidence to penetrate Northern Province.

The combination of Mr Brian Mundubile, Dr. Chilufya and GBM has proved beyond any reasonable shadow of a doubt to be a political armoury ready to face and crush any opposition whenever PF is faced with a by-election.

MAXWELL CHONGU. PF DIE HARD.

OCIDA BIAS STATEMENT BASELESS

W

Dear Editor,

E wish to respond to the statement that has been issued by the opposition NGO calling itself Our Civic Duty (OCIDA) in which they claim to discuss the state of political affairs.

We are concerned that the first paragraph of the statement singled out the Patriotic Front and its allies as the subject of reference yet the reports of UPNDperpetuated violence has been widespread.

The statement, in our estimation is a calculated plan to conceal the violence by the opposition while using the same as a yardstick to paint the PF as a violent party.

OCIDA has so far ignored the fact that the PF and President Lungu has endeavoured to lead by example in condemning violence within the ranks of the party.

We are also surprised that OCIDA could condemn President Lungu for directing Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo and the Inspector General of Police to firmly apply the law

Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo

against the instigators of public disorder.

We do not expect the self-proclaimed proponents of the rule of law to dismiss the well-meaning directive by the President.

We are also taken by surprise that OCIDA could support the rebellious youths who staged a bush protest. We expected the law abiding citizens such as OCIDA

We are also surprised that OCIDA could condemn President Lungu for directing Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo and the Inspector General of Police to firmly apply the law against the instigators of public disorder.

to stand with the police who in their wisdom did not find it safe to allow the youth continue their protests.

As regards their comments on the Constitution of Zambia Bill no. 10, OCIDA has already failed its duty to popularise the contents of the bill and allow the citizens make an informed opinion. We are disappointed that the organisation has taken a side when it was expected to be a neutral arbiter in the midst of conflict of opinions.

As regards their corruption allegations, OCIDA is promoting misinformation by blowing the trumpets on the basis of the unverified corruption claims.

The allegations they have raised have not pointed at any wrongdoing by the high ranking government officials, the members of the PF Central Committee or indeed any party supporters.

We urge OCIDA to concentrate on participating in popularising Bill 10 and persuade UPND MPs to support this progressive bill.

MARVIN CHANDA MBERI, Youth Rights Activist, Lusaka.

Dear Sir, I TRUST you are ok. Without wasting much of our time, I wish to express my displeasure over your misleading character. I know your people and yourself will be quick to say that I have been against you all this while and to this day, I continue to speak against you.

Today, I want to let you know why I speak of you in such a way, maybe you will also take it up to give the people of Zambia the answers they so much desire to know which makes most of us not to trust you with our votes.

1. I will begin with the issue of your parentage which was openly revealed by Gregory Chifire. He said you are a son to Mr Chintombwa who was a cattle rustler. How true are such allegations and we have seen you being mute over it. This matter has made even the likes of Chilufya Tayali to continue pursuing u on the same.

2. It is over your involvement in the privatisation exercise. We have seen documents and some that are in public domain stating that you are part of the companies that offered service to the ZPA, an agency that was directly handling the privatisation of our country’s assets.

You were the negotiating chairman for institutions that your company valued and later became part of the buyers. How a vendor became part of the buyers is what leaves everyone questioning because Zambians expected you to handle all things in favour of our country. Explain how you were doing all these things without declaring interest when Zambians were losing assets whilst you were getting all the money and becoming part of the buyers?

3. Zambians including myself submit to the authority of Jesus Christ who has been the centre of the peace our country enjoy. You were challenged by Bishop Chomba openly that you are a Satanist and you have not come out to defend or clear your name on this.

Even when you decided to sue Bishop Chomba in a matter you failed to exculpate yourself.

To most Zambians your religion remains questionable.

When you come out in the open to say, you agree with anyone with different beliefs, it convinces us more on our conclusions.

4. Your ever disagreeing to anything that Zambians at times consider to be beneficial to us. We wanted a pact at first PF/UPND you denounced it because of your greediness. Even when you lost terribly together with RB you vowed to make Zambia ungovernable through your negativity. Why? Nshilapwisha.

Environmentalists call for stiffer measures to curtail land degradation ENVIRONMENTAL conservation stakeholders in Kalomo district in Southern Province have called for the formulation of a deliberate policy to mete stiffer punishment to anyone found engaged in land degradation practices.

The call came at a stakeholder’s workshop organised by the Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) under the Collaboration and Operationalizing the Landscape Approach for Biodiversity Benefits, Policy and Practices (COLANDS) project held at Pazuri lodge in Kalomo yesterday.

Participants at the one day workshop observed that the major challenge that threatens environmental degradation is lack of concerted coordination by stakeholders to conserve the little remaining natural resources which are at the mercy of the community.

Officially opening the workshop, Kalomo District Commissioner, Brenda Mwenda urged participants to come up with strategies that would sustain the use of the local natural resources for the future generation.

And COLANDS Project Manager, Annie Mwape said the involvement of all stakeholders in the three chiefdoms of Kalomo district to lessen environmental degradation practices is cardinal as the entire country is posed with severe climates change effects emanating from the misuse of natural resources.

The five year COLANDS project aims to contribute to reduced emissions, reduce poverty through sustainable use of natural resources alongside seeking to promote evidence based implementation of the integrated landscape approach.

The project is financed by the Federal government of German and being implemented by the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) in Chiefs Chikanta, Siachitema and Sipatunyana’s areas in the district.

The same project is also being implemented in Burkina Faso and Indonesia.- ZANIS

LSTONE MAYOR’S WARNING BELLS T

By ANDREW MUKOMA

HERE is urgent need for behavioural change among citizens towards COVID-19, Livingstone Mayor Eugene Mapuwo has advised.

Mr Mapuwo noted with sadness that citizens in the tourist capital had become complacent towards the disease and were no longer following stipulated guidelines.

The Mayor said now that Livingstone has recorded some cases, residents must take it seriously that COVID-19 was real.

In an interview with the Daily Nation in Livingstone, Mr Mapuwo said that residents must realise that COVID-19 would not spear anybody if they were careless.

“My word to the community of Livingstone is that they must understand that COVID-19 is real. It is a pandemic that does not spare anybody and so, we need to follow the guidelines of wearing masks, sanitizing and washing hands,” he said.

“It is unfortunate most people are not adhering to these guidelines especially when you visit the markets and the community,” Mr Mapuwo said.

He said the council and

other stakeholders would continue inspecting public places and sensitising the masses in order to raise awareness.

“But, I can confirm that in Livingstone, we have four cases which being managed in their homes. They are not yet at the hospital.

“They might not be symptomatic but the cases are there. This is a sign that we must tighten our belts and change ADVERISEMENT our attitute towards this disease,” Mr Mapuwo

They might not be symptomatic but the cases are there. This is a sign that we must tighten our belts and change our attitute towards this disease,” said.

Mr Mapuwo said as a result of that, he expected to see a mind-set and behavioural change among citizens.

“It does not cost any money to wash hands...it might cost to buy a face mask but, it is better to be safe than sick. My appeal to mypeople as a city father is, please let us keep and follow the guidelines by Government and let us control our children’s movements.

“When Government announces that; yes it is over, then we will go back to normal, but currently we need to be extremely cautious” Mr Mapuwo said.

Don’t be used in violence, youths urged

By ANDREW MUKOMA YOUTHS should develop innovations to sustain their lives and should not fall prey to desperate politicians that want to use them as tools of violence, Patriotic Front (PF) aspiring candidate for Livingstone Constituency Ikuka Muleta has said.

Mr Muleta said time had come for youths to position themselves as front-liners in promoting peace and forge development.

He said this on Thursday afternoon during the formation of party structures in Simonga ward attended mostly by youths.

Mr Muleta said youths and youths in general should embrace the motto, “One Zambia One Nation” which President Edgar Lungu had preaching.

"As we all know, next year we are going for a general election so, my appeal to you my fellow youths is... please let us stand up as young and say no to political violence and we should not be used as tools of violence,” he said.

He said it was important for the country to continue existing in a peaceful environment that the country has been since independence in 1964.

with the Government in order to eliminate many challenges young people were experiencing in the nation.

Government alone, he said, would not manage to resolve the many challenges, which had engulfed the young generation.

Mr Muleta was responding to a question raised by one of the youths who wanted to know what Government was doing in creating employment for young people.

The meeting was attended by former UPND district secretary, Fwanyanga Lutangu, former Acting Livingstone District Commissioner James Zimba and Simonga ward aspiring candidate Janet Shawa.

Male infertility topics are not much discussed in our society and this has contributed to a misconception, which says, “only females are prone to infertility.” This is not true, it can also be due to males.

There are many different medical conditions and other factors that can contribute to fertility problems, and an individual case may have a single cause, several causes, and in some cases there are no identifiable causes.

Overall, some researches show that one-third of infertility cases are caused by male reproductive issues, one-third by female reproductive issues, and one-third by both male and female reproductive issues or by unknown factors.

‘Sell beer, guzzle and get prosecuted’

By ROGERS KALERO BUSINESS owners in Kitwe operating illegal bars will be prosecuted along with patrons as the local authority intensifies enforcement of Covid-19 guidelines.

Kitwe Town Clerk, Mbulo Seke, warned that businesses should follow stipulated conditions for which licences were granted or owners would face prosecution.

He singled out restaurants owners whom he urged to follow prescribed guidelines to avoid getting into trouble with the law.

The local authority, he said, would not hesitate to prosecute businesses that were abrogating regulations from which licences would also be withdrawn.

Mr Seke said some bars and night clubs had resumed operations despite the Government directive that such outlets should remain closed.

He said despite Government directive, some business owners had instead turned restaurants into bars.

He said the council had since issued a stern warning to the restaurant owners not to use their places as bars.

The council, he said, would deal firmly deal with those found to breach the stipulated conditions.

Mr Seke said any breach of the conditions attracted a fine not exceeding two thousand five hundred penalty units (K750) per incident including withdrawal of certification and prosecution.

“The council has decided to issue a warning to business owners turning their restaurants into bars because it has come to our attention that some bars and night clubs have resumed operations despite the Government directive that bars and night clubs remain closed.

Mr Seke said restaurants have been allowed to operate only upon certification and subject to complying with the stipulated conditions.

He said the restaurants should provide adequate hand washing facilities with soap or alcohol based sanitizers while all clients should wear face masks except when eating a meal.

Mr Seke added that the number of clients to be admitted at any one moment should not exceed the seating capacity certified; number of clients per table should be limited to two at not less than one metre social distance.

Additionally, he said, no client without a seat or table should be allowed to remain in the restaurant.

“No beer should be served at a counter except at a guest’s table during meal, number of beer served during a meal should not exceed two bottles/glasses. Those who wish to take more beer are advised to buy from bottle stores as take away.

By ROGERS KALERO

S

OME customers of Nkana Water and Sewerage Company (NWSC) in Kitwe are behind the theft and vandalism of the metering system to avoid paying the water bills.

NWSC Public Relations Officer,Agness Simwinga, said investigations had revealed that some customers, especially in Mindolo North, were behind the vandalism to avoid paying bills.

Ms Simwinga added that the residents were also doing illegal bypasses on the system to avoid paying bills “We have found out that some of

Chingola steps up Covid-19 fight

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA THE Chingola Municipal Council has stepped up efforts in enforcing the health guidelines in the wake of escalating numbers of Covid-19 infections.

In the past few weeks, the local authority and other stakeholders discovered that the compliance levels had gone down, even in public and overcrowded places.

Chingola Mayor, Titus Tembo, told the Daily Nation in an interview that the council however did not remain idle but had begun reinforcement programmes to fight against the pandemic.

The mayor said the council health inspectors and officers from other units had intensified inspections in all public places to ensure that residents complied with health guidelines.

Mr Tembo appealed to residents to cooperate with council officials and also just take it upon themselves to ensure they did not contract the disease through carelessness.

"We have noted with concern that people have started ignoring the health guidelines due to doubts about the

Mr Tembo “We have noted with concern that people have started ignoring the health guidelines due to doubts about the existence of the virus in the country.

But we as council will work tirelessly to ensure that the measures are reinforced,” existence of the virus in the country. But we as council will work tirelessly to ensure that the measures are reinforced,"

he said.

Mr Tembo stated that the council was working hand in hand with marketeers in sensitising the public to continue wearing masks, washing and sanitizing their hands, as well as maintaining social distance all the time.

He said that the council had also involved volunteers to go round bus stations, markets and other public places sensitising members of the public.

The Mayor appealed to public bus crew members and shop owners not to entertain anyone who did not wear masks.

our customers are behind the theft and vandalism of metering system to avoid paying the water bills read by the water meters. This is very sad and retrogressive.

“We are actually very disappointed that, instead of supporting the water utility company, customers are engaging in retrogressive activities of vandalizing water metering systems. The same people start posting on the blogs to say NWSC has failed,’’ Ms Simwinga said.

Ms Simwinga also cautioned traders against buying pipes and materials suspected to have been stolen from NWSC because they would be arrested for being in

possession of stolen items.

Last week, two traders were apprehended from Kitwe’s Nakadoli and Kawama markets after they were found with pipes and materials suspected to have been stolen from NWSC. NWSC Public Relations Manager Bivan Saluseki confirmed the incident after security team working with Zambia Police raided some stores in the markets trading in second hand stand pipes, valves and other accessories.

The materials were suspected to have been uprooted from Mindolo area.

“In this area, we have been putting stand pipes, extending the water network and

metering residents. However, we facing a set back because in as much as we want to supply water to residents and meter them, the same stand pipes for prepaid meters are being uprooted and then sold on the markets, he said.

“So far, more than 50 houses are affected and have no water because the pipes have been dug out and stolen. These are the pipes you find in the market. This is discouraging because we have very little resources due to the effects of Covid-19,” Mr Saluseki said.

Mr Saluseki said the thefts started on January 7, this year and the retrogressive trend had continued to increase, especially this month.

JOHANNESBURG - Children born in other countries are entitled to South African citizenship as long as one parent is South African, the Constitutional Court has ruled.

The ruling by the court has cleared up any confusion about the country’s citizenship by descent laws, which were interpreted by Home Affairs to mean that nobody born in other countries after 2013 qualified for citizenship, irrespective of whether their parents were South Africans, GroundUp reported. – NEWS24.

SIGNED, SEALED …Government, Micho ink contract

By MUKWIMA CHILALA

G

OVERNMENT has formally welcomed national football team coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredejovic with Sports Minister Emmanuel Mulenga expressing confidence the Serb can deliver and restore its glory.

And Micho has benchmarked qualifying Zambia to the 2022 Qatar World Cup as his target, saying he will talk less and let his work speak for him.

The two were speaking during the signing ceremony of Micho’s two-year contract at Government

Complex in Lusaka yesterday which was also witnessed by FAZ president Andrew Kamanga, his deputy Rix Mweemba and Ministry of Sports officials led by Permanent Secretary Joe Kapembwa.

Mulenga expressed confidence that the Serbian coach would deliver to the expectations of the Zambian people.

He said Government would give him all the support that he needed.

“We will make sure that we work with FAZ in attending to the challenges that you will face in this country. As you are aware President Lungu who is the patron of

the FAZ welcomes you and believes that you can deliver.

“Many people in our country believe that you can deliver and you can meet the expectation of the people of Zambia in making sure that the glory which we had in this nation is restored,” Mulenga said.

And Micho said that he would not talk much but let his work talk for him as he had a huge task which was going to the CHAN next year in Cameroun, qualifying to the World Cup in 2022.

“We want to go step-by-step to inject the confidence inside our players to make them aware that

‘Homeless’ Buffaloes get Independence Stadium

GOVERNMENT has handed Independence Stadium in Lusaka to Super Division side Green Buffaloes Football Club.

Minister of Sport Emmanuel Mulenga says the Zambian league side will now have a

formal assurance on the usage of the stadium and continue improving it.

Mulenga noted that the army had continued to be a dependable powerhouse of sports development which had seen different athletes under its watch bring glory to Zambia. He was speak-

ing during the signing of the memorandum of understanding between the Ministry of Sport and Army Command yesterday.

The minister said it was against this backdrop that his ministry was enhancing cooperation by coming up with a memorandum of understand-

ing on the use and maintenance of Independence Stadium.

Mulenga said the MOU formalises the commitment of the two parties to work together to ensure development of the facility for the benefit of football, athletics and other sports disciplines in the Zambia Army.

And Army commander.

Lieutenant General William Sikazwe applauded the minister for handing the stadium to his command by moving the process so fast beyond their expectations.

Sikazwe said that it was disheartening that Green Buffaloes had for a longtime been moving from stadium to stadium in search of a home ground.

He noted that it was for this reason that they engaged the ministry so that they could start using Independence Stadium.

Sikazwe said they would renovate the facility as it was in bad shape and would remove the artificial turf to replace it with natural turf as well as improve the terraces.

Buffaloes among the few Super Division sides without a permanent home ground as they have over the years been alternating from Nkoloma, Edwin Imboela and Woodlands Stadiums.

every single step they do they do for the nation they suffer struggle and sacrifice in every single match and that step-by-step we build the confidence through the channel in Cameroon Africa Cup of Nations,” Micho said.

“I will not talk too much but I will let the work talk and let the performances and results bring the smile on the faces of Zambians because we are living in hard times and we want to be the soul healer.

Micho was engaged early this year on a two-year performance-based contract that will see him earn $25, 000 every Month.

We’re Covid-19 free, says Kansanshi

By MICHAEL MIYOBA FAZ Super Division outfit Kansanshi Dynamos FC have refuted allegations suggesting that the club has recorded seven positive cases of Covid-19.

In an interview, club chairman Mark Silimi said the team has not received its Covid-19 results since taking the tests on Saturday July 18.

Silimi however noted that the health officials in Ndola allowed Kansashi Dynamos to play Zesco United before receiving the Covid-19 results.

Silimi said FAZ allowed the game to go on despite Kansanshi having informed the local soccer governing body of the lack of Covid-19 results which are part of the requirements as guided by the Ministry of Health for any Super Division game to be fulfilled.

“The results circulating on social media are not

confirmed because we haven’t received the results yet from the time we did the tests,” Silimi said.

“We did the test on Saturday in Ndola and we were given a go-ahead to proceed with the game against Zesco United by the doctors who were handling the testing and we haven’t been officially communicated to concerning the outcome of the tests and FAZ is very much aware of our situation,” he said.

Kansanshi is not the only team to have played a Super Division game without Covid-19 results as Kitwe giants Nkana who humbled Zanaco 3-0 on Wednesday were allowed to face the bankers before their Covid-19 results were ready. Zanaco had six of their players disqualified for being Covid-19 positive.

Asked on whether it is true that some clubs are allowed to play without their Covid-19 results, FAZ Super Division manager Brian Mulenga refused to comment but noted that it is not the duty of the league management team to announce Covid-19 results for respective clubs. “
