Opposition inciting youths - Veep

By NOEL IYOMBWA

SOME youths are being used by opposition politicians to discredit Government, VicePresident Inonge Wina has told Parliament.

Ms Wina said that since 2016 some politicians had been using youths to discredit the current Government, but that they would not manage to dent the image of the State.

She was responding to Livingstone Central MP, Matthews Jere, who alleged that youths were protesting because of corruption in the country.

Mr Jere had asked if Government was in order to award a $17 million contract to Honey Bee Pharmacy before it was operational.

But Ms Wina said youths were being persuaded to paint Government as a corrupt because they misinformed by some politicians and resorted to sending erroneous posts on social media.

The Vive-President said that some youths go as far hiding in the bush just to portray Government as corrupt with statements that could not be verified thereby misleading the nation.

She said that Government would not condone corruption.

Meanwhile, Ms Wina warned that any restaurants selling alcohol and entertaining a crowd of patrons will be face the law.

She said that Government appreciated the frustrations by bar owners association, but that the directive to close their premises was for the interest of the large masses.

“Bars owners at the moment should abide by the directive especially this cold weather. For now, they should be patient because it is in the interest of people’s health and restaurants selling alcohol are doing so illegally, “she said.

She was responding to a question from Chimwemwe MP Mwila Mutale who wanted to know what sanctions Government would impose on Lusaka City Council for allowing selective bars to be operational.

By PETER SICHALI GOVERNMENT will not offer subsidised maize to millers once current contracts under the tripartite agreement expire due to the availability of the commodity on the local market, the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) has said.

FRA public relations coordinator, John Chipandwe said the agency was currently fulfilling contractual obligations entered into when maize was scarce on the local market and has not signed any new contracts.

Mr Chipandwe said the 2018/19 agricultural season when the agreements were signed was characterized by low production of maize due to prolonged drought and floods in some areas.

He said in response to a

Britain has not cut aid to Zambia THE British government says it has not cut or reduced aid to Zambia.

British High Commissioner to Zambia Nicholas Woolley says what British Prime Minister announced was a merger of the Foreign Ministry and the International Development Ministry.

Mr Woolley says the merger was necessitated by the need to have one single decision making body and that the Prime Minister did NOT announce a cut or reduction of aid to Zambia.

The British High Commissioner has told ZNBC’s Katwishi Bwalya in an exclusive interview that his Government will continue to support Zambia by growing its economy through programmes such as the Development Assistance through Poverty Reduction.-ZNBC

query that this led to limited maize availability and supply on the local market.

Mr Chipandwe said as maize was the primary raw material for the production of mealie meal, its scarcity resulted into increased mealie meal prices in some areas to as high as K225 per 25 Kg bag of breakfast from October 2019.

This, he said resulted in Government, through the Ministry of Agriculture entering into partnership with the Grain Traders Association of Zambia (GTAZ), Millers

Association of Zambia (MAZ) and Commercial farmers through Zambia National Farmers Union (ZNFU) and FRA for the supply of subsidized maize and production of mealie meal that could be available, accessible, and affordable to the Zambian consumer.

Mr Chipandwe said the Agency would not continue with the Tripartite Agreement when the current running contracts expire.

“The release of subsidized maize by FRA is a fulfilment of underlying contractual

obligations. Either party especially the Millers are free to source alternative maize from what is available on the market and as such, FRA may not dictate to the business decisions made by individual millers,” Mr Chipandwe said.

He said the agency will not continue with the tripartite agreement once the current running contracts expires.

Mr Chipandwe said the agency has so far released 274,701 metric tonnes of maize from January 1, 2019 to June 19, 2020 under the tripartite agreement.

Graft in tender awards irks youths

By GRACE CHAILE LESOETSA THE rampant corruption in the awarding of tenders has irked youths who told Government on Thursday that the vice is a hindering factor to empowerment.

Speaking during an engagement meeting with the Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services Ms Dora Siliya at her office yesterday, the over 20 youths revealed that their companies were not getting tenders because they were unable to pay a bribe.

Yamaguyz organisation secretary general, Edgar Kalunga, pleaded with Government to investigate the tender awarding process because those entrusted mostly demand for bribes.

“We had applied for a tender to paint in Eastern Province, but we were told to say, if we give you this tender, how much are we going to benefit, this is an issue of tulyemo (a bribe). That is the reason why most youth groups don’t apply because there is an issue of tuleyamo which we cannot afford,” Mr Kalunga said.

Another youth, Ackim Nyambe, a member of Yamaguyz said the process of acquiring funding was tedious.

MAIZE TRIPARTITE DEAL WON’T BE RENEWED

CHISHIMBA Kambwili and two Lusaka lawyers have told the Lusaka High Court that Lusaka Principal Magistrate, David Simusamba cannot hide under the wing of judicial immunity for him not to be sued.

This is in a matter where Mr Kambwili, the leader of the defunct National Democratic Party (NDC) together with his lawyers Cheelo Mwiinga and Christopher Mundia have sued Simusamba for defamation of character.

Mr Kambwili and his two lawyers have sued Mr Simisamba who they have accused of soliciting over K300,000 bribe from Kambwili in order for him (Simusamba) to enter judgement in his favor.

They sued Mr Simusamba also for alleged defamation for allegedly accusing them of attempting to bribe him in order for him to deliver

“The process of acquiring a project shouldn’t be tedious. The process should be able to accommodate everyone including that youth who is not a graduate but only has life skills,” Mr Nyambe said.

Youth Legacy secretary general Jonathan Simutowe called for transparency in the awarding of loans

by Citizens Economic Empowerment

Commission (CEEC).

Mr Simutowe called on the commission to engage the youth at the grassroot.

He however called commended Government for the step taken to engage the youth and remained hopeful that this time around, the meeting would not just end at discussion but reach the implementation level.

And female youths in attendance called on Government to extend bursaries to colleges so that women in such institutions were also empowered.

However, Ms Siliya assured the youths that yesterday’s engagement would not just end with words but that Government would ensure that implementation was executed.

The Minister said youth issues were non-partisan, therefore will create a platform where all can survive.

“We need a platform where Government continuously engages with the youths. Your needs are beyond just the Ministry of Youth, Sport and Child Development because you have needs in agriculture, needs in land, in transport and various ministries. This can’t be the end of the engagement, we need to have a roadmap going forward,” she said.

Kambwili, 2 lawyers take on Magistrate Simusamba

judgment in favor of Kambwili Mr Kambwili is facing offences of fraud, uttering of a false document and giving false information to a public officer before Magistrate Simusamba in the Subordinate court, a matter which commenced in 2018.

Earlier, Mr Simusamba urged the court to dismiss the case, arguing that he was not the right party to be sued but the Attorney General.

He said since he was employed by the government and the alleged crimes were committed during his official duty. But Mr Kambwili and others have stated that Mr Simusamba does not in any way enjoy judicial immunity for being allegedly corrupt

because corruption was not one of the functions of a judicial officer.

In a joint affidavit in opposition to Simusamba’s affidavit in support of summons for an order to dismiss an action on a point of law and or irregularity, the trio stated that Mr Simusamba has not been sued in the proceedings on issues which arose in his performance of work as an adjudicator or magistrate in the matter between the People Vs Chishimba Kambwili.

“It is not true that the defendant has been sued on the issues which arose in a strictly private and confidential correspondence to the honorable Chief Justice of the Republic of Zambia as the

said letter is in public domain in that in the same letter the honorable chief justice directed the matter of alleged corruption be reported to the Anti- Corruption Commission (ACC) who were availed the same letter and other investigation agencies,” they stated. Kambwili , Mwiinga and Mundia stated that soliciting for a bribe does not include functions of a judicial officer such as the defendant did; as the same constitutes a crime and the defendant could not hide under the wing of immunity .

“That the defendant has since been reported to the Anti-Corruption Commission for corrupt practices,” they stated.

PETROL SCAM EXPLODES

BOUT 40 percent of the fuel on the Zambian market is smuggled resulting into revenue loss through unpaid taxes and duty.

Clearing agents have revealed that Government is losing colossal sums of money through smuggled fuel which is hauled into Zambia on the pretext of being in transit to other countries but offloaded along the way.

The sad development has incensed the Customs Clearing and Freight Forwarding Agents Association of Zambia.

The association’s president, Mr Bruce Kaemba, said about 40 percent of the fuel on the Zambian market was smuggled, resulting into loss in revenue through unpaid taxes and duty.

Mr Kaemba warned that the association would not hesitate to withdraw services of clearing at points of entry if the situation was not addressed as it bordered on economic sabotage.

He said in an interview that the increase in the number of filling stations in the country had resulted in the upsurge of illegal fuel dealings.

“There are unscrupulous fuel importers who are in the habit of de-

canting the commodity in Zambia when on entry they declared that the product was destined for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as its final consumption country.

They end up paying less taxes and deny the state colossal sums of money,” Mr Kaemba explained.

He said the perpetrators were evading payment of tax and duty to the government by declaring that the fuel was in transit (RIT) but ended up being offloaded in the country.

Mr Kaemba said the unscrupulous fuel importers present their documents to the clearing agent on entry at the border showing that the fuel was for export to the DRC but offload the commodity into Zambia at some filling stations.

He said the vice was affecting clearing agents who handle the consignment because ZRA demanded that they account for the details of the transactions they were involved and end up being implicated in the scams.

“Some clearing agents have had their licences suspended because they were not able to account for the transaction owing to the fact that the importer decanted the fuel within Zambia without their knowledge,” Mr Kaemba complained.

Zambia’s peace hailed

By NATION REPORTER

VARIOUS stakeholders have commended President Edgar Lungu for presiding over a country that has been ranked the 4th peaceful in Africa and 44th globally.

Zambia’s favourable rankings are contained in the 14th edition of the Global Peace Index (GPI).

The GPI, which is the world’s leading measure of peacefulness for the universe, ranks 163 independent countries and territories around the world as per their levels of peacefulness, and is conducted by the Institute of Economics and Peace (IEP).

Among those commended President Lungu are Southern African Centre for the Constructive Resolutions of Disputes SACCORD, Healthy Learners as well as ordinary citizens.

SACCORD executive direc-

tor, Boniface Chembe, called on Zambians to jealously guard the peace that the country had continued to enjoy since independence.

A senior citizen, James Mando, also observed that Zambians where free people.

“We have countries in Africa and in the world where freedoms have been curtailed but in Zambia people are free some even reaching an extent of insulting their own elected leaders including the President on Facebook and other social media sites,” Mr Mando said.

Mr Mando however called for the respect and responsible use of social media especially among the youth population.

DREDGERS SCANDAL …State pushes for $9m refund for undelivered dredgers

By PETER SICHALI

G

OVERNMENT through the Ministry of Justice is in the process of recovering over US$ 9 million for undelivered dredgers from MCD Civil and Mechanical Engineering.

By November 2015, Government had paid the supplier amounts totalling US$9, 240, 370 leaving a balance of US$2, 635, 430 but has to date failed to deliver the dredgers, prompting the State to cancel the deal.

Ministry of Communication and Transport Permanent Secretary, Misheck Lungu, said the process of recouping the paid funds had begun and that the Ministry of Justice was han-

dling the matter.

Mr Lungu said in an interview that Government was now procuring the dredging equipment directly from a Netherlands-based manufacturer.

Mr Lungu said Government has so far procured eight dredgers from Big Machinery and that three had been delivered while five have been manufactured but yet to be delivered.

He said the five would be delivered as soon as Government pays for shipment costs.

Mr Lungu said the Ministry of Justice was working towards ensuring that funds were recouped from MCD Civil and Mechanical Engineering.

According to the Auditor General’s report, the ministry

entered into a contract with Herpworth Supplies and Innovative Materials System JV on October 17, 2014 to supply five dredging machines.

The supplier was given a delivery period of four to six months, effective June 1, 2015.

Consequently, the ministry paid the supplier US$6, 426, 000 leaving a balance of US$1, 134, 000.

The AG’s report, however, points out that a review of records and a physical inspection carried out in the districts revealed that only two dredgers had been delivered while the remaining three had not been delivered as of July 2016.

The report also disclosed that the ministry also engaged MCD

Civil and Mechanical Engineering on January 13, 2015 to supply 12 dredging machines at a contract price of US$11, 875, 800.

DRC Mukula deal earns state K2m

By AARON CHIYANZO

OVER K2 million has been raised by the State through inspection and escort fees for trucks carrying Mukula logs transiting through Zambia from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

This is according to the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources Status Report on the Harvest, Trade and Export of Mukula Tree Species for period ending December 2019.

According to the report, Government entered into a deal with DRC to transit 3, 400 forty-foot containers laden with Mukula logs for a period of six month effective December 28, 2018.

It indicates that Government issued another Statutory In-

education among others.

“I think it is wonderful that Zambia has ranked so highly a testament of the government and a testament of the country and when you are talking about peace it starts with the youths and starts here at school,” Mr Hackett observed.

At a global level, the 2020 GPI has shown that Zambia’s levels of peacefulness had increased by five points compared to the previous GPI and ranked only behind Mauritius, Botswana, and Ghana.

ZESCO Smart meters to ‘sort’ out customers

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

ZESCO will soon start replacing the current conventional prepaid metres with smart ones which will enable the company to directly switch off electrical appliances for customers misusing power from the system.

The five year US$40 million project has already been piloted in the last two year with positive results.

With the smart meters, we will be able to deal with a customer’s response ourselves as Zesco, says Company Managing Director, Victor Mundende.

“What we meant is that we will be able to, if we have less power giving to an area, we will be able to switch off other appliances that you have like

geysers without the customer intervention.

“From the comfort of our offices, we will be able to deal with certain appliances in order to share the little power that we have,” Mr Mundende said yesterday in Lusaka at a press briefing.

Mr Mundende indicated that this move was meant to control customer response and ensure that electricity was shared equally.

He said Zesco was currently awaiting a no objection from the Zambia Public Procurement Authority regarding the project.

Mr Mundende explained that Zesco’s partner from Ndola had in the last two years been running a pilot project across the country and that the power utility

Plot No. 5251B Mukwa Road, Heavy Industrial Area. P.O. Box 34553, Lusaka Email: dailynation@ymail.com www.dailynation.info

UPND DRAMA IT is more than clear that there is a lot of hypocrisy involved in the conduct of some of our political leaders in the manner they want to run the affairs of the nation.

It is sad that they prefer to play to the gallery and show that they are true patriots. Yet they are not.

They want to take advantage of the gullible few in the country and mislead them, forgetting that they are not helping their cause.

The disclosure by Justice Minister Given Lubinda about the events leading to UPND Members of Parliament walking out of the National Assembly makes sad reading.

It is sad reading how the Honourable members in the House can immediately they leave parliamentary grounds behave so dishonourably and twist facts.

They appear not to have learnt a lesson that the truth will always prevail in the end, as has been proved.

According to Mr Lubinda, the House Business Committee convened a meeting on Monday, June 22 and was attended by the two Deputy Speakers, the Vice-President, the Chief Whip Brian Mundubile, leader of the Opposition Jack Mwiimbu, the opposition Whip Dr Situmbeko Musokotwane, Maxaz Bweupe Ngonga (MP), Boyd Hamusonde (MP) and Professor Geoffrey Lungwangwa.

At this meeting, Mr Mwiimbu raised a concern about the new environment. “I am informed that he used words close to ‘Why don’t we hive this item (referring to Bill 10) from the Order Paper until there is some semblance of normalcy in the system (referring to the new Parliament environment).

“When this was brought to my attention, I inquired among a number of colleagues in Parliament many of whom agreed with the concerns expressed by the leader of the Opposition.

Mr Lubinda, after consultations and permission from President Edgar Lungu agreed to the suggestion, believing that the move would allow all MPs to get used to the technology being used.

But surprisingly on Wednesday, Members of Parliament from the UPND trooped out of the National Assembly when Bill 10 was being debated with Chipata Central MP Moses Mawere on the floor.

Shortly after this drama, Mr Mwiimbu addressed the press at the UPND secretariat claiming that Bill 10 was dead.

He claimed that according to parliamentary rules, Bill 10 was supposed to have been concluded in the same session it was introduced, that the continued appearance of the bill on the order paper beyond June 4, 2020 when parliament adjourned was illegal.

“Bill 10 lapsed on the 4th of June. It died and was buried on the 4th of June, there is no such Bill anymore. Whatever parliament and the PF through the Ministry of Justice is doing is illegal and we are not going to be part of the illegality,” said Mr Mwiimbu.

It is quite obvious that the UPND was just trying to derail Bill 10 as it has been doing all along, especially since the Covid-19 pandemic broke out.

It is pleasing though that Mr Lubinda has assured Parliament that Bill 10 will be back in the House soon.

We hope Zambians will see how they are being taken for a ride by the UPND and its surrogates.

But the nation should be able to tell the party that enough is enough.

‘MINISTER’S ARREST SIGNIFIES IMPARTIALITY’

By SIMON MUNTEMBA

T

HE arrest of Minister of Health Chitalu Chilufya on corruption allegations is a clear demonstration that the law enforcement agencies are independent and impartial in the execution of their mandate, the Zambia Youths Association in the Fight Against Corruption (ZYAFAC) has said.

On Wednesday, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) arrested Dr Chilufya, 47, on four counts of possession of property reasonably suspected of being proceeds of crime.

ZYAFAC executive director, Maurice Malambo, said the arrest of Dr Chilufya was also a clear testimony of President Edgar Lungu's political will and determination to fight corruption.

Mr Malambo told the Daily Nation yesterday that his association was happy with Independence and capacity of the ACC to deal with matters involving senior Government officials.

"The arrest of Minister of Health Hnr. Chitalu Chilufya by the ACC on allegations of corruption, establishes two fundamentals: The demon-

DNA ‘welcomes’ Third-Force

By BENNIE MUNDANDO

THE Zambian DNA has welcomed the newly formed Our Civic Duty Association (OCIDA) as it demonstrates not only the growth of democratic space, but enhanced freedoms of expression and association.

Zambian DNA spokesperson, Spuki Mulemwa, yesterday however said that the formation of OCIDA or Third-Force was a scheme orchestrated by President Edgar Lungu’s enemies to scale-up their aggressive agitation for a regime change ahead of 2021.

Mr Mulemwa said OCIDA’s main objectives such as anti-Tonga-Lozi, Northwest tribalism, corruption fight and other governance issues were used as scapegoats to disguise their secret agenda to agitate for regime change.

He said OCIDA was part of a series of a scheme or-

chestrated to not only paint President Lungu black, erode the Zambian people’s confidence in him, but also influence public perception on the Republican President’s leadership style.

He said OCIDA was disguised in anti-Tonga/Lozi, Northwest tribalism fight deliberately to incite the Tonga, Lozi and North westerners to rise against Government.

“Zambians will recall that the US Government through the Millennium Challenge Report rated the Government’s corruption fight and other governance issues highly. Just recently, the Institute for Economics and Peace ranked Zambian as the most peaceful country in Africa, and 44th in the world.

‘Ndulo is a political charlatan’

By BENNIE MUNDANDO

LAWYER Muna Ndulo is a political charlatan hiding behind the veil of the legal profession, Kabwe Central Member of Parliament Tutwa Ngulube has said.

Mr Ngulube said Professor Ndulo’s attacks on the Speaker of the National Assembly Dr Patrick Matibini, therefore, were not justified as they were a political weapon to please his political allies.

On Wednesday, Dr Matibini said he did not agree with the Constitution at Court that he exceeded his constitutional powers when he declared the Roan Parliamentary seat which was held by Chishimba Kambwili, vacant.

Dr. Matibini said he had

powers and jurisdiction to interpret the law and Constitution, as well as to preside over some of the internal matters arising from the proceedings of the House.

However, Prof Ndulo described the ruling on the matter as one that could only come from a confused individual, saying his pronouncement projected himself above the Constitution and wondered “what he has fed on that he has grown so arrogant.”

But speaking to the Daily Nation yesterday, Mr Ngulube asked Zambians not to take Prof Ndulo seriously because he was just a UPND surrogate who had ill-advised the party to a point of losing all court cases he had an input, including the 2016 presidential

petition in the Constitutional Court.

“Professor Ndulo has lost his values in the academic circles and he is trying to gain relevance by becoming political. We want to urge him to just be man enough and join politics because we all know the party he belongs to and we all know that he cannot win any election here in Zambia unless they just give him the seat.

“The Speaker’s credentials and qualifications are actually far much higher than those of Muna Ndulo. He has never been a judge or State Counsel and even in the legal profession, he is only known to students and academicians. Let him not attack the Speaker,” Mr Ngulube said.

He said Prof Ndulo should

President Lungu also urged other stakeholders to help the Catholic Church to complete the construction of the School.

“I need to pay tribute to the role the Catholic Church has played in education in the nation. When the catholic missionaries first set foot on this soil, not only did they bring Christianity, but also ensured that the people in the areas they settled, got enlightened through education,” he said.

And, Archbishop of Lusaka Bishop Alick Banda thanked President Lungu for the unwavering support to the Catholic Church in Zambia.

He said the President has always been there to support activities by the Catholic Church in Zambia.

And in a vote of thanks, Chongwe Member of Parliament Japhen Mwakalombe thanked President Lungu for the many developments taking place in his constituency.

“The UPND have lost all their cases based on Prof Ndulo’s advice. We have no confidence whatsoever in him and we know that he is only respected by those who think he is relevant. For us who know him, we know that he has lost all the substance he had and he is looking for relevance in politics,” he said.

This was after his lawyer Chimera Magubbwi applied for bail.

In response Magistrate Banda said all the four counts before him are misdemeanors and therefore bailable.

"I should state that all counts including the fourth are misdemeanors are bailable. I must also state that it has become quite fashionable for police to over hold suspects that can be bonded, " said magistrate Banda.

Mr Magubbwi earlier told the court that his client was charged on Tuesday and law demanded he be brought to court immediately.

He said his client had spent 10 days in police cells for misdemeanors and that was why police needed guidance from court on the need to bond people with such charges.

"All the four counts including the pending instruction are bailable offences. My client is of established abode and a family man. He also stands ready to provide traceable sureties.

The State Counsel did not object to the application.

Magistrate Banda later adjourned the matter to July 10 for mention and July 15 for commence of trial.

Facts before the court are that, Tukuta is in the first count charged with publish-

ing defamatory article concerning Khalif Abudulah, a Ndola based business executive.

It is alleged that on May 26 in Ndola, Tukuta did publish a defamatory article concerning Khalif on Facebook in which he said "Khalif your time to leave Zambia has come you ci criminal".

He said in an interview that if any other organisation or individual had strong views about what should be in the constitution they were at liberty to lobby MPs. “The constitution says in article 79 that Parliament can amend any part of it except the Bill of Rights. Let us not be taken by our emotions on this matter of constitutional amendment.

“If we were all objective we would allow Parliament to do that which the law says namely to engage in the process of constitutional amendment. If parliamentarians don't agree, article 79 gives them two options, namely, two thirds votes at second reading to amend the

constitution and two thirds vote at third reading after amendments.

Prof Lungwangwa explained that leaders in a democracy take this principle very seriously because it was the one that builds democratic societies.

“If MPs don't agree with the amendments to the constitution they can shoot it down at third reading. This is what the rule of law says.

Why don't people respect the law which is in place? Why are people not respecting the institutions like Parliament that have been set up?

Why do people think that we should all be taken by our emotions,” he wondered.

Prof Lungwangwa said in a democracy, a country was always built on consensus and nor through emotions.

Load-shedding will reduce

by October, says Zesco boss Zesco Managing Director, Victor Mundende, said the projected reduction of load shedding had been necessitated also by the increase in power generation at Kafue Gorge upper power station.

The WIPPD-19 system is expected to ensure a more predictable and consistent load management schedule and categorises the various stages of load management ranging from 0 to level six.

Zambia, with a power deficit of about 810 megawatts, is currently at the level three of load management per day translating into right to 12 hours.

"The 750 megawatts Kafue Gorge Lower flagship project, to be commissioned by end of November 2020 will significantly lessen the current power deficit and pass on the benefits to our customers," Mr Mundende said yesterday

Bishop Chomba said revenue collection was law, therefore, it was important that that was respected.

He said the development was supplemented by the consistent positive performance of small hydro power stations dotted in the Northern parts of Zambia.

Zesco, Mr Mundende said, he was determined to ensure there was sufficient power for all economic activities.

He said with massive infrastructure investment undertaken by Zesco in the last 10 years, the corporation was on course to realizing its vision of being the hub of power trading in the region by 2025.

Avoid partisan politics, Kampyongo warns civil servants

By SIMON MUNTEMBA

THERE is no space in the public service for people who are politically affiliated, Government has said.

Minister of Home Affairs, Stephen Kampyongo has advised all civil servants to avoid involving themselves in partisan politics.

The minister said this when he graced the Zambia Correctional Service (ZCS) pass out parade of 112 cadet officers and recruit warders at Nyango Correctional Staff Training School yesterday.

He said those who are political cadres should not join the civil service to avoid being bruised, adding that government wanted to have neutral officers in the system.

He urged traditional leaders not to interfere or else they would find themselves on the opposite side of the law.

the public service, avoid involvement in partisan politics.

"Go out there and serve the people of Zambia diligently because that is the reason why you are joining this career," Mr Kampyongo said.

The minister also reminded the newly recruited officers to conduct themselves responsibly as they were now part of the defense and security forces.

"Stay away from conduct likely to damage your individual reputation and that of the service.

"You must not at any time be distracted by small things, remain firm and focused at all the time," Mr Kampyongo said.

He also said government under President Edgar Lungu was determined and committed to provide the service with decent training facilities and inspire both officers and trainees.

On the challenge faced by Nyango Correctional staff training school, Mr Kampyongo said government had already demonstrated its resolve to answer to the historical problems the service was faced with for a long time.

He said he would engage the Ministry of Finance on how best the institution could be improved and mordenised.

BANKERS CAUTION CUSTOMERS

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

B

ANKERS Association of Zambia (BAZ) has warned consumers to keep in regular contact with their financial service providers and avoid sharing confidential information that scammers could use for fraudulent purposes.

BAZ Public Relations Officer, Mirriam Zimba, warned that Covid-19 has brought about risks in the financial sector which fraudsters were taking advantage to scam consumers.

Ms Zimba said the outbreak of Covid-19 provided breeding ground for the anxieties the fraudsters were looking for.

“It is important to bear in mind that fraudsters play in people’s anxieties and

uncertainties, and the outbreak of the Covid-19, provides breeding ground for the anxieties the fraudsters are looking for,” she said in an interview.

Ms Zimba said while governments were making frantic efforts respond to the pandemic, financial fraudsters were also working around the clock, ramping up their own schemes.

Financial fraudsters, she explained, were taking advantage of gullible consumers of various products and services in the financial services sector.

She observed that consumers were warned of various Investment and product scams that related to investment schemes and product claims.

Auditor-General gets tough

By KETRA KALUNGA WE’LL continue exposing the people who mismanage public resources to ensure that we trail each and every kwacha, Auditor General, Dickson Sichembe has said.

Dr Sichembe said he envisaged his office to be a dynamic audit institution that would promote transparency, accountability and prudent management of public resources.

He said that a very robust team had been created under his office to effectively provide the oversight flow in the management of resources throughout the country Dr Sichembe said to this effect, the team had raised the bar and would trail all misapplied funds and also ensure that Government resources were utilised effectively and economically.

The Auditor-General was speaking yesterday in Kabwe when he paid a courtesy call on Central province Permanent Secretary, Bernard Chomba.

"I am here to share the vision with officers as I embark on managing the office of the Auditor-General. Our vision is to be a dynamic au-

dit institution that promotes transparency, accountability and prudent management of public resources," he said.

Dr Sichembe urged the provincial Permanent Secretary to work closely with his office in order to effectively manage the resources that were allocated to the area for development.

"I urge you to partner with my office to manage the resources properly for the development of the country and I am aware a lot of projects are going on here in Central province," Dr Sichembe said.

And Mr Chomba said he valued the relationship of his office and that of the Auditor General's in the prudent management of the public resources.

Ms Zimba had existed since time immemorial and the current era’s digital technological advancements had given rise to more sophisticated schemes that may not be easily be detected.

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU THE Bank of Zambia (BoZ) has approved K1.8 billion worth of applications from the banking sector that want to access the stimulus package which has been put in place to provide relief to business during the Covid-19 period.

The central bank in April this year announced a K10 billion facility meant to ease the cash flow for businesses by accessing funds at a lower rate through financial institutions.

President Edgar Lungu on Thursday this week during his address to the nation announced that the BoZ had so far approved K1.8 billion worth of application from the banking sector.

date of personal information.

“This include, but not limited to birth date, social security number, or National Registration Number, Passport Number, Bank Account Number or requests relating to debit of credit card numbers,” Ms Zimba said.

She encouraged consumers to always double-check banking details, account details or recipient details-phone number and names (in the case of mobile or wallet transactions) prior to making any payments.

Ms Zimba also stressed the need to be on the lookout for fake charity donation schemes that seek to collect money from the unsuspecting public.

BoZ stimulus package progresses “So far, K533 million of k1.8 billion worth of applications from the banking sector has been approved by the bank of Zambia. In addition, applications worth k753 million from the non-banking financial sector, are currently under consideration by the bank of Zambia,” he said.

The Head of State expressed happiness that commercial banks were now accessing part of the K10 billion to be loaned to entrepreneurs, especially, small and medium enterprises.

President Lungu said Government had put in place the K10 billion medium term refinancing facility meant

to restructure, refinance or extend credit to businesses and households impacted by Covid-19.

He also said Government spending in 2020 was expected to rise by approximately K20 billion due to the depreciation of the Kwacha which had in turn raised external debt payments and other foreign based expenditures.

President Lungu also said external debt service was expected to rise by K8.7 billion.

In addition, he said, Covid-19 related expenditures had contributed to an increase in Government spending.

THE Department of Immigration says immigration services, particularly, applications for visas and immigration permits are now also available on the newly-developed portal called ZamPortal This portal is under the Government Service Bus and Payment Gateway project being implemented by the Government through the Ministry of Finance and Smart Zambia Institute (SZI).

Immigration Director-General, Denny Lungu, yesterday said the ZamPortal was developed to make all public services which could be provided electronically, available in a single place and could be accessed on zamportal.gov.zm.

Dr Lungu said through this innovation, the Immigration had become the third institution to be integrated to the portal, joining the Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) and the Patents and Companies Registration Agency (PACRA).

Thirdly, under the ZamPortal, the payment options for immigration services will be expanded,” Dr Lungu said.

Dr Lungu said this will lead to an enhanced customer experience.

“While there will be no significant changes to the application processes and requirements for immigration services on both the ZamPortal and the eservices portal, there will be a slight change to the payment receipt format.

‘Day-light’ thieves emerge

By MUYANI SHINJABALE

THIEVES in Ndola have devised a new system of stealing from households in Mitengo during the day by impersonating police officers.

An alert has since been raised in Mitengo among residents, who have suffered housebreakins and thefts at an increasing rate since last year.

According to information gathered by the Daily Nation, thieves were going to people’s homes pretending to be police officers as well as workers from the water utility company in the area.

More than 12 houses had been broken into while water pumps and other valuables had been stolen in a similar manner and resident suspected that it was the same group terrorising innocent people On Tuesday, two men entered a premises in Mitengo during the day, pretending to be police officers on patrol and asked the children on the whereabouts of their parents.

Many families have complained of seeing strangers, moving about suspiciously and suspect that it was a mission to spy

on them during the day before they could strike in the night.

One resident, who declined to be named, said thieves had been striking during the day if they notice that owners of the house were not around.

Chifubu Member of Parliament, Frank Ng’ambi, said he was aware about the rising theft cases in Mitengo and that a police post project would commence.

But another family in Mitengo told the Daily Nation that another group of men entered the yard, telling the children that they were police officers and that they had received complaints from the neighbours that they were making too much noise.

But when the men sensed that the children were becoming suspicious, they left quickly down the road and joined other stretches so that they could not be seen.

The family went to inquire about the issue at Chifubu police station on the same day, but officers denied conducting such activities or patrols during the day.

When contacted over the matter, Copperbelt Commissioner of Police Charity Katanga said she had not received any such report at the moment.

State focuses on disease prevention

By JACKSON MAPAPAYI

GOVERNMENT has made a radical shift in health policies to invest more in disease prevention to save lives as well as costs on curative and care expenses, North-Western Province Permanent Secretary Willies Mangimela has said.

He said sound investment in health would lead to a healthy population necessary for the country’s economic prosperity.

Mr Mangimela said this in a speech read by his deputy, Douglas Ngimbu, in Solwezi during the launch of the National HIV AIDS Communication Advocacy Strategy (NACAS).

“To this effect, the ministry of Health has embarked on a robust universal health coverage program premised on empirical evidence that a health population is a positive game changer for economic growth,” he said.

Mr Mangimela said the National HIV/AIDS/STI/TB council has developed a multi-sectoral national HIV and AIDS Strategic Framework (NASF) 2017 to 2021to guide the country on the execution of high impact interventions.

He said that the NASF clearly identified key intervention areas and appropriate strategies to achieve intended results of attaining epidemic control and ultimately ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.

Mr Mangimela that the development of NACAS was purely born out of the realisation of the need to target different sub populations with the most appropriate social and behaviour change communication materials according to needs.

And Breakthrough Action Zambia Social and Behaviour Change specialist, Steve Sichone, said the NACAS was designed to engage all stakeholders involved in Zambia’s HIV response. Mr Sichone said the strategy identifies how social and behaviour change communication could be most effectively used to increase HIV related health seeking behaviour through a variety of approaches.

Meanwhile, Provincial AIDS Taskforce chairperson Dickson Mtonga urged health promotion officers not to leave out young people and other groups in communities in order to prevent the spread of HIV.

RGANISATIONS in Zambia and beyond scheduled to hold their annual gatherings should start planning for such events in the tourist capital, the Livingstone Tourism Association (LTA) has advised.

Following Government’s decision to re-open all the international airports, LTA chairman Rodney Sikumba said organisations should start making arrangements so that the LTA could also prepare for excellent services.

He said professional and other gatherings usually boost tourism activities in Livingstone.

Mr Sikumba said that all those who were supposed to hold their meetings should take such events to Livingstone.

He said that this was one of the ways in which the city would maintain its economic status as a tourist capital.

Alcohol dens in Kitwe thriving

By ROGERS KALERO

SOME bars and night clubs in Kitwe are operating illegally under the guise of being restaurants in order to allow their patrons to drink from their premises and increase their sales, a Daily Nation survey has revealed A well-known night club which has a restaurant, opened to the public last week using the licence of a restaurant to allow the patrons to drink from its premises, while another place which opened as a bar, has now changed to a restaurant selling alcoholic drinks.

Patrons had been frequenting the outlets in large numbers on drinking sprees despite the ban in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Bar and night club owners have resorted to using all sorts of means to keep their patrons within their premises, while other revellers drink from their vehicles Kitwe Town Clerk Mbulo Seke confirmed that some bars and night clubs which also have a license of a restaurant were abusing the same

licences.

“Yes, I know of one night club which opened last week and it has been using the licence of a restaurant to sell beer and even allow patrons to drink from its place. I will bring this issue to the responsible department for investigations,’’ Mr Seke said Mr Seke said Zambians should not brush off the existence of Covid-19, but instead continue to take preventive measures seriously like wearing of masks, social distance and others. He said the fact that Zambia had not recorded many deaths from Covid-19 should not make people become careless and drink alcohol carelessly.

He said Zambians should not wait to learn from their own experiences, but learn from other countries’ experiences.

“I believe a wise person will not wait to be attacked before he gets prepared, but he will prepare himself before he is attacked.

The fact that Zambia has not recorded many deaths from Covid-19 should not make people become careless and think there was no Covid-19 in Zambia,’’ Mr Seke said

Kaondes demand ‘health messages’ in local languages

By JACKSON MAPAPAYI

A KAONDE traditional group has given the North-Western Provincial Medical Office a 24-hour ultimatum to pull down a bill board displaying child health week messages written in Bemba and replace it with one written in one of the local languages of the region.

Nsakwa Yaba Kaonde demanded that the billboard near Kapiji Mall in Solwezi must be pulled down as it was written in Bemba instead of the local languages spoken in the area.

The organization chairperson, Milton Mukwasa, appealed to Government to engage the health office in the province and ensure that the billboard was pulled down immediately.

This is contained in a letter to North-western Permanent Secretary, Willies Mangimela, obtained by the Daily Nation in Solwezi yesterday.

“We strongly appeal to your office to engage the provincial medical director to urgently pull down the billboard by close of business today 25th June 2020,” he said.

Mr Mukwasa stated that delay on the part of provincial administration would leave the organization with no option but to pull it down.

But efforts to get a comment from Mr Mangimela proved futile by press time.

Africa’s top 10 corrupt countries

8

Dear Editor, IN Africa, corruption seems to have overshadowed integrity, accountability, fairness, and morality.

The persistent failure of most countries to curb corruption, is contributing to a crisis of democracy around the world. Corruption strives well in countries that are battling with political, social, and economic instability. Here are the most corrupt countries in Africa; 1. Somalia (CPI 10): In Somalia, there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Bribery and corruption is so rampant in the country, forcing almost everyone to meet up, thus, engaging themselves in bribery and corruption practices.

Since 2006, Somalia has consistently ranked last on Transparency International’s list, which indicates that it is the most corrupt country, not only in Africa, but also the world.

There is no accountability on what is spent or received from trade in the country, making it even easier for embezzlement to take place.

Don’t discriminate against mental patients

2. South Sudan (CPI 13): South Sudan has been consistently unstable, in terms of politics and economy, which is why the country is among the most corrupt countries in Africa.

Dear Editor,

dumb people regardless of the latter’s qualifications. This doesn’t augur well. Simply put, this is discrimination and it should not be condoned.

The crux of the matter is that the disabled people have the right to employment just like the able bodied ones.

Kudos to Pick n Pay management for the commendable job the institution is doing of empowering the dumb through offering them employment opportunities.

BESIDES people living with HIV/AIDS, the mental patients are discriminated against as they are perceived to be insane or mad. This is wrong because mental illness is a disease like any other.

The mental patients deserve to be respected by every member of society.

Discrimination against someone on the basis of mental illness is violation of human rights.

Zambia is a signatory to the United Nations Charter on Human Rights and as such, there is need for the country to ensure that human rights, including those of the mentally ill be respected.

Any form of discrimination against the mental patients should not be condoned discriminating against anyone on the basis of illness is an offence punishable by law.

Mental patients are treated at Chainama Hills Hospital.

Mental illness is curable once detected early. The disease can be caused by depression, drug and substance abuse among other causes.

Let me hasten to mention here that mental patients are human beings who deserve respect and we should not discriminate against them.

ELEMIYA PHIRI, Lusaka.

ELEMIYA PHIRI, Lusaka.

3. Sudan (CPI 16): In Sudan, corruption is substantial, as it is considered one of the most corrupt nations in the world. Corruption in Sudan takes the form of financial and political corruption, nepotism, and misuse of power.

4. Libya (CPI 17): After the death of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, the country has plunged into serious cases of bribery and corruption.

Most of the journalists are bribed from reporting the truth, about what’s happening in the country. There was a time, when a newspaper editor was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment, because he published the list of 84 corrupt judges in the country.

5. Burundi (CPI 17): Corruption is on the rise in Burundi and is not finding it easy to fall.

In 2015, Transparency International declared Burundi, as the most corrupt country in East Africa. Burundi is also among the top 10 most corrupt countries in the world.

6. Angola (CPI 19): In the past 10 years, Angola has lost over US$5 billion to corruption. A vast majority of government officials engage in the use of fraudulent ways, to collect funds, for their personal use.

Furthermore, due to 30 years of civil war, which left the country in destruction, Angola needed a social-economic comeback, which caused the nation to fall into an infrastructural corruption drive.

There has been a high level of corruption in Angola, since the early 2000s.

7. Democratic Republic of Congo (CPI 19): In the Democratic Republic of Congo, corruption is described by one word, as it has maintained a strong reputation, as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Almost every sector suffers from rampant corruption.

8. Chad (CPI 19): In Chad, corruption is systematic and often takes the form of nepotism. It prevails in all sectors of the economy, and is perpetrated by weak laws, and lack of security. Corruption is on the rise at all levels.

9. Zimbabwe (CPI 22): Corruption is said to be on the rise in Zimbabwe, due to the hardship, which the citizens face. Hence, they need to find a way to survive.

10. Mozambique (CPI 23): In Mozambique, corruption is particularly prominent in public sectors, and tax customs administration. Companies planning to operate in Mozambique, face a very high risk of corruption.

Although, there is a standing legal framework, to curb corruption, there are still many loopholes, as it doesn’t cover all forms of corruption.

RE: PICK N PAY EMPOWERING DUMB PEOPLE WITH EMPLOYMENT Dear Editor, PICK n Pay is one of the chainstores operating in the country and it has a policy of recruiting some dumb people particularly ladies as cashiers.

This is a good gesture which should be emulated by other chainstores operating at various shopping malls dotted across the country.

I patronise some chain stores notably Pick n Pay when chance permits to buy items for home use.

My choice of buying the products from these stores is that they offer a wide range of quality local and Dear Editor, I WRITE to demand the immediate dismissal of Chingola Municipal Council management for land frauds to disadvantage the poor in the district.

They have devised a way of replacing poor people from their small holdings farms in Gymkhana and have replanned the farms and are selling the plots using a proxy company that is just about three months old in Chingola.

The company is a link in these land sale illegalities. How honestly can this new company own most of those plots and start selling them are heard on most conversations with the DC and council about the sales?

Most of the time I buy from Pick n Pay at Society Business Park Mall located between Cairo Road and Cha Cha Cha Road.

I was thrilled with the way Jane operates.

Some employers in most cases are sceptical about employing the physically challenged which include the

Check the council minute number SPWANR/461/1/2018 and the report of the Director of Development Planning dated February 14, 2020.

The displaced poor people are now crying foul yet the already rich are using their offices to displace them.

The same replanned plots are being also given to high profile Central Police Officers at the expense of the poor in the pro poor government.

I therefore appeal to President Lungu to immediately fire these council officers and Government officials involved for going

against the pro poor manifesto of PF. The repossessed farm plots belonging to the poor are plot numbers 8416, 8417, 8418, 8419, 8427, 8428, 8429, 8430, 8431, 8438, 8439, 8440, 8441, 8442 etc which can be verified from the owners on the ground and the council minute number above.

I also urge the Anti-Corruption Commission to move in and probe these three for abuse of office and the Local Government Commission to fire the two council officers immediately.

If an object is accelerating uniformly, the average velocity is calculated as follows:

General Physics : Mechanics (Linear Motion) v=

:CB D

Let s be the distance moved with time t, then the average velocity can also be calculated as v = s/t. Therefore, the two equations can be equated as follows: E

Squaring equation 1 on both sides we have:

Portion OA shows increasing velocity. When the velocity is increasing uniformly, the acceleration is constant. Portion AB shows constant velocity. When the velocity of the body is constant, acceleration is zero. Portion BC shows decreasing velocity. When the velocity of the body is decreasing, it is decelerating meaning its acceleration is negative. Deceleration is also called retardation.

v2 = (u + at)2 v2= (u +at) (u +at)

Time and distance were explained in the previous lesson. Let us look at the remaining terms. Displacement is change in position of an object in a specified direction. In other words, displacement can be defined as distance moved in a specified direction (L. Muunyu). Displacement is vector quantity. A vector quantity is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. The SI unit for displacement is metre(m). It should be noted that both distance and displacement are measured in metres. Displacement is stated as follows: 30km east or 40km north. For example, if an object moves 5m west and then 3m north, its displacement can be represented as follows:

Calculation of distance from the velocity –time graph.

v2= u2 +2uat + a2t2 I

The area under the velocity- time graph is equal to the distance covered by the moving body in the specified portion of the graph. Therefore, to calculate the distance covered,

v = u + 2a(ut + at ) 2

but s = ut + at2 D

therefore:

v2 = u2 + 2as

The above derived equations are used to solve problems in linear motion for moving bodies.

An athlete starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration of 3m/s2 in a straight line. (a) What is the velocity after 4s?

From the above diagram, X represents the resultant displacement which can be calculated using pythagoras theorem.

Speed is defined as disstance moved per unit time. The SI units for speed are meter per second(m/s). The combination of the units show that speed is a derived quantity.

Speed is a scalar quantity. A scalar quantity is a qauntiy that has magnitude but no direction. The speed of an object can be calculate as follows:

đ??ˇđ??ˇđ??ˇđ??ˇđ??ˇđ??ˇđ??ˇđ??ˇđ??ˇđ??ˇđ??ˇđ??ˇđ??ˇđ??ˇđ??ˇđ??ˇ Speed = đ?‘Ąđ?‘Ąđ?‘Ąđ?‘Ąđ?‘Ąđ?‘Ąđ?‘Ąđ?‘Ą + ,

Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacemet with time. The SI units for velocity are metres per second(m/s). Note that speed and velocity have the same SI units. Velocity is a vector quantity, this means that it has both magnitude and direction.

Just like speed, velocity is a derived qauntity.

Acceleration is the rate change of velocity with time. The SI units for acceleration are meters per second squared(m/s2). Acceleration is a scalar quantity. Acceleration is expressed as follows:

A car started from rest and acquires a velocity of 30m/s in five seconds. It continued with this velocity for 10s and comes to rest after another five seconds.

The motion of the body can be represented in graphical form. There are three types of graphs of motion of a body and these are: distance- time graph, speed- time graph and velocity- time graph.

The above quantities, can be expressed in terms of equations of uniformly accelerated linear motion. Let u represent the initial velocity and v final velocity. This means that ∆v = v-u. Therefore, the above equation for acceleration is expressed as follows: a=

Confirmed cases

9,070 Deaths

JOHANNESBURG - More than 700 teachers and school staff and 88 pupils have tested positive for Covid-19 in the Western Cape to date according to this week's provisional stats, Education MEC Debbie Schäfer has said.

This was according to initial reports this week, she confirmed during a briefing to the National Council of Provinces on Thursday.

According to the verified cumulative total released a week ago, 375 staff members and 61 pupils had tested positive, Schäfer's spokesperson, Kerry Mauchline, said.

"This includes staff members who tested positive before the reopening of schools on June 1. The majority of schools that have reported cases have only reported one or two cases, so we are not seeing evidence of mass spreading at schools."

She explained that districts have until every Friday to verify each and every case for accurate reporting purposes.

A report is then compiled, with figures not considered final until after verification.

According to the most recent figures released by Health Minister Zweli Mkhize, the Western Cape accounted for 56, 780 – or 48 percent – of the total national infections.

A total of 1, 652 people in the province have succumbed to Covid-19, while 39, 475 have recovered.

Mauchline said a confirmed case, which required a detailed protocol to be followed, does not necessarily require a school to be closed.

"In each case, a number of factors will be considered in making the decision," she said.

Only the areas where the staff member or pupil has physically been present needed to be disinfected.

According to Mauchline, the date the infected person was last at the school is important as the National Institute for Communicable Diseases and the Department of Health have told the education department the virus does not survive on surfaces for more than 72 hours.

"If a staff member was last present at a school more than a week before, sanitising a surface is not required." - NEWS24.

MORE THAN 700 SCHOOL STAFF, 88 PUPILS TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19 IN WESTERN CAPE TO DATE - MEC

Mauchline said a confirmed case, which required a detailed protocol to be followed, does not necessarily require a school to be closed.

PANAMA CITY - Panama President Laurentino Cortizo fired his Health minister and two other cabinet members over two corruption scandals, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread in the country.

Cortizo promoted Deputy Health Minister Luis Francisco Sucre in place of the sacked Rosario Turner, while also firing Social Development Minister Markova Concepcion and Housing Minister Ines Samudio.

Panama has recorded more than 28, 000 coronavirus cases and 547 deaths among its four million population, making it the worst affected country in Central America.

New cases are accelerating with 700 a day compared to 200 before the country began reopening economic activity.

“The management of the health crisis requires the adoption of exceptional measures from our government,” said Cortizo in a televised address.

However, the government is coming under increasing scrutiny over its measures.

And it has been weakened by an investigation into suspected corruption in the construction of a prefabricated hospital and the aborted purchase of respirators and sanitising gel.

Despite being implicated in the scandals, Vice President Jose Gabriel Carrizo and Public Works Minister Rafael Sabonge remain in their positions. – AFP.

Covid-19 Pandemic

Saturday 27 May, 2020

CHICAGO - Scientists are only starting to grasp the vast array of health problems caused by the novel coronavirus, some of which may have lingering effects on patients and health systems for years to come, according to doctors and infectious disease experts.

Besides the respiratory issues that leave patients gasping for breath, the virus that causes Covid-19 attacks many organ systems, in some cases causing catastrophic damage.

“We thought this was only a respiratory virus. Turns out, it goes after the pancreas. It goes after the heart. It goes after the liver, the brain, the kidney and other organs. We didn’t appreciate that in the beginning,” said Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla, California.

In addition to respiratory distress, patients with Covid-19 can experience blood clotting disorders that can lead to strokes, and extreme inflammation that attacks multiple organ systems.

The virus can also cause neurological complications that range from headache, dizziness and loss of taste or smell to seizures and confusion.

And recovery can be slow, incomplete and costly, with a huge

impact on quality of life.

The broad and diverse manifestations of Covid-19 are somewhat unique, said Dr. Sadiya Khan, a cardiologist at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago.

With influenza, people with underlying heart conditions are also at higher risk of complications, Khan said. What is surprising about this virus is the extent of the complications occurring outside the lungs.

Kahn believes there will be a huge healthcare expenditure and burden for individuals who have survived Covid-19.

Patients who were in the intensive care unit or on a ventilator for weeks will need to spend extensive time in rehab to regain mobility and strength.

“It can take up to seven days for every one day that you’re hospitalised to recover that type of strength,” Kahn said. “It’s harder the older you are, and you may never get back to the same level of function.”

While much of the focus has been on the minority of patients who experience severe disease, doctors increasingly are looking to the needs of patients who were not sick enough to require hospitalisation, but are still suffering months after first becoming infected. – REUTERS.

THERE are now more than over 340,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus across Africa, with a number of African countries imposing a range of prevention and containment measures against the spread of the pandemic.

According to the latest data by the John Hopkins University and Africa Center for Disease Control on COVID-19 in Africa, the breakdown remains fluid as countries confirm cases as and when. As of May 13, every African country had recorded an infection, the last being Lesotho.

NAIROBI - Kenyan police have killed three people when a crowd of motorcycle taxi drivers protested against the arrest of a colleague for ignoring coronavirus restrictions.

Police shot at the crowd in the western city of Lessos after clashes, a police statement said.

The police have ordered the arrest of the officers involved.

Kenyan police face increasing scrutiny over accusations they are excessively enforcing the coronavirus restrictions.

A cobbler reportedly tried to intervene when police were harassing a motorbike taxi driver for not wearing a mask, reports the Standard newspaper.

The Daily Nation newspaper adds that the police were arguing over a bribe of 50 Kenyan shillings.

The police then shot dead the cobbler, named as 40-yearold Lazarus Tirop. The crowd started protesting against Tirop’s death.

Hundreds of villagers followed the police back to their police station and set alight a police officer’s house, reports the Daily Nation.

The police statement says two more people were then shot dead. It goes on to say that the police intend to take “stern disciplinary action against any other officer found culpable.”

A night-time curfew was introduced at the end of March, along with other measures, in order to slow the spread of

The local commissioner Joe Walusimbi attended the funeral of Reverend Ordinand Benon Musiimenta and said President Yoweri Museveni had told him to apologise. – BBC. “We are at fault. He (President Museveni) told me to have the soldier handled according to the law of the country and the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) rules,” Walusimbi is quoted by New Vision as saying.

The commissioner gave the widow 5m Ugandan shillings ($1, 300) which he said had been instructed by the president.

IEC advises Parliament to start electoral reform as soon as possible

Kenyan police have been accused of using excessive force to enforce coronavirus restrictions Covid-19.

The Kenyan police watchdog said at the beginning of June that at least 15 people had been killed by police during the nationwide curfew.

On Tuesday a policeman was charged with the murder of 13-year-old Yasin Moyo, who was shot as he stood on a balcony in March watching

police enforce a night-time curfew.

At the beginning of June, while people across the world protested against the killing of George Floyd in the US, Kenyans also protested about police brutality in their own country - carrying empty coffins through the streets of the capital, Nairobi.

Mutharika’s press aide congratulates Chakwera LILONGWE - State House Press Officer Justice Mponda has come out quickly to congratulate Makawi Congress Party (MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera for defeating incumbent President Peter Mutharika according to provisional results in the just ended fresh presidential election.

Writing on his Facebook wall, Mponda acknowledges the gallant fight Chakwera and his running mate Saulos Chilima staged against his boss, Mutharika.

“I also take a moment to congratulate Dr. Lazarus Chakwera, Dr. Saulos Chilima and the entire Tonse Alliance for the victory. You fought well and it has paid off,” he writes. However, Mponda thanked Mutharika for the ‘great opportunity to serve in his administration.’ He humbly admits that he went in as a mere journalist, but is going out as an administrator, a fully grown up man, matured and responsible.

“In President Mutharika, I have learnt to appreciate the magic of working, growing and developing in silence. I will forever be grateful to APM for everything I have become today. Mponda says.

JOHANNESBURG - The Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) has asked Parliament to start working post-haste on amending legislation to allow independent candidates to stand in provincial and national elections.

Two weeks after the Constitutional Court delivered a landmark ruling, declaring the Electoral Act unconstitutional and ordering Parliament to amend it within 24 months, the IEC delivered a presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs on the ruling on Thursday evening.

At the start of the meeting, committee chairperson Bongani Bongo said: “A constitutional democracy

means the Constitutional Court is the final arbiter of decisions made by the executive and Parliament.”

He said it is up to parties to discuss whether they want a parliamentary or constitutional democracy.

“But as things stand, we have a constitutional democracy,” he said.

Musing on the implications of the judgment, he asked what would happen if an independent candidate died.

ANC chief whip Pemmy Majodina asked the exact same question at Thursday morning’s meeting of the National Assembly Programming Committee, where she decried the Constitutional Court’s ruling as an “overreach” and “unfair.”– NEWS24.

‘As the deer longsself for water…’

Power woes inflicted

Inside Sports LIVERPOOL’S 30-year wait for a top-flight title is over after Manchester City lost 2-1 at Chelsea to confirm the Reds as Premier League champions.

Jurgen Klopp’s side needed one victory to seal the league but City’s failure to win means they cannot be caught.

It is Liverpool’s 19th top-flight title and their first since 1989-90.

Despite being urged to “stay home” by the city’s metro mayor because of coronavirus, thousands of fans gathered at Anfield to celebrate.

Many of the supporters who congregated at the club’s ground wore face masks and some lit flares.

A number of Reds players, including goalkeeper Alisson, defender Virgil van Dijk and midfielder Alex OxladeChamberlain, celebrated together after watching the Chelsea-City game.

Klopp, wearing a Liverpool shirt and clearly emotional, told Sky Sports: “I have no words, it’s unbelievable.– BBC.

You shouldn’t get annoyed or feel threatened by it.

They can’t create nearly the type of energy you create when you walk into a room, but won’t it be adorable watching them try?

Pisces (February 19-March 20) It’s not a great day for throwing caution to the wind.

There is far too much up in the air right now for you to barrel ahead on a project you’re excited about without nailing down all the details. You’ll have to try to curb your enthusiasm right now and cool your jets. But just because you can’t run ahead like you want to doesn’t mean you can’t make progress. Take advantage of this downtime to do some research and create a Plan B just in case your Plan A can’t happen.
