STATE ACTS ON FUEL SHORTAGE

END RUFUNSA GOLD FIASCO IT is mind-boggling.

Just why should mining equipment that Government has sourced at great cost to jumpstart gold mining in Rufunsa not being used?

The four cooperatives in the district that are supposed to benefit from this project are yet to start using the equipment.

And the reason?

An agreement that they signed with ZCCM-IH over the signing of the mining equipment has not been availed to the local District Commissioner so that he could release it to the cooperatives.

As Chimwetu Gold Mining Cooperative chairman, Emmanuel Tembo explained in an interview on Thursday, the four cooperatives even after agreeing to the terms after a series of discussions with ZCCM-IH, on the use of the equipment were yet to start using it.

He said that the equipment was kept at the office of the District Commissioner on condition that it would only be released after the agreement with ZCCM-IH was signed. This agreement was signed last December.

According to Mr Tembo, the cooperatives were concerned that ZCCM-IH had not even brought back the signed agreement for the cooperatives to present to the District Commissioner.

He pointed out that the District Commissioner cannot release the equipment without proof of the signed agreement and a go ahead from ZCCM-IH. This is the same equipment that was reported to have delayed the start of organised gold mining in Rufunsa because the cooperatives wanted clarification over ownership.

But this impasse was resolved last December and we would have thought production would be at full throttle.

This so-called hitch is unacceptable because Government has shown commitment to ensure that gold mining is in the hands of Zambians as opposed to illegal miners, most of whom are from neighbouring countries.

As Mr Tembo said, the cooperatives were not mining and therefore could not even trade with ZCCM-IH because they had no gold to sell.

He said that the only trade that was going on in Rufunsa was between illegal gold miners and private buyers. Why should it be so?

We do recall that a year ago, Minister of Mines and Minerals Development Richard Musukwa said the government would provide gold panning equipment to the gold panning communities and cooperatives.

In addition, Mineral Development Permanent Secretary Barnaby Mulenga reported that Cabinet had approved plans to relax requirements in the mining sector to allow locals to fully participate by relaxing mining licences and formalisation of artisanal practice in the mining of gold as a first step first.

As Mr Mulenga explained, Government wants to ensure the mining licence requirements are relaxed so that locals take up the mining of gold.

But from the look of things, it appears that there are some people intent on putting bottlenecks in a programme that is critical to improving the country’s economic outlook.

Let Government step into the Rufunsa fiasco and ensure that its programmes are actualised, and not held up under unexplained reasons that are not making sense.

It is gratifying that the cooperatives are keen to work and deal with ZCCM-IH which they say is offering a good price as opposed to the private buyers.

There is already goodwill from the cooperatives and the more reason why whoever is frustrating them is flushed out.

THE fuel shortage will end as the commodity has started coming into the country, Minister of Energy Mathew Nkhuwa has said.

Mr Nkhuwa said Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) had ensured that the commodity was imported for it to be readily available in the country.

He said in an interview that at the pace the OMCs were transporting the commodity, the country would have enough for all its needs.

Mr Nkhuwa said the government appreciated the importance of the commodity for the economy hence it had ensured that the OMCs imported enough.

"Right now as we speak fuel is being brought into the country.

So the country has enough and I can assure you that at no time

Mr Nkhuwa

will the country run of the commodity.

“We know how important fuel is to our economy, therefore we have been engaging the Oil Marketing Companies to ensure that fuel continues to flow," he said.

Mr Nkhuwa said the zero-rating of Value Added Tax (VAT)

on petroleum products had encouraged the companies to continue importing the commodity.

He said that the companies were facing challenges in importing the commodity during this period but with the decision to remove VAT, a number of them had enhanced operations.

Son hacks father to death

By SIMON MUNTEMBA A 34-YEAR-OLD man of Kapiri Mposhi has axed his 70-year-old father to death on suspicion of practising witchcraft.

Police spokespersons Esther Katongo said the suspect on Thursday around 16:30 hours hacked his father, Mr John Muwowo, with an axe in the head killing him instantly.

Wina Muwowo killed his father and fled..

“Police in Kabwe received a report of murder in which Samuel Muwowo aged 39 of Chipepo area in Kapiri Mposhi reported that his father John Muwowo aged about 70 was murdered by his son, Wina Muwowo aged 34 on suspicion that he was a wizard.

"The suspect is on the run after leaving a suicide note indicating that he was going to commit suicide. A manhunt has been launched," Ms Katongo said.

She said Mr Muwowo’s body was deposited in Kabwe Central Hospital awaiting a post-mortem.

Meanwhile, Police in Chililabombwe have arrested a man identified as Charles Phiri aged 24 in connection with the murder of Stanslous Chalwe Makofi aged 38 of Zambia Compound.

She said the victim was alleged to have stolen four plastic chairs and upon being apprehended, Phiri beat him and later took him to the police station with a deep cut on the forehead.

Ms Katongo said the police took the victim to Kakoso Hospital for medical attention where he later died.

Ms Katongo also said police have arrested Dorothy Sakala of Kitwe for allegedly scalding her ex-husband, Blessings Kasongo aged 32 of Chimwemwe Township with hot water.

“This happened when the victim went to his ex-wife’s house to warn her to stop going to his house. This infuriated the suspect who poured hot water on him. He sustained burns on the left side of the face, left shoulder, and on the back. He is admitted to Kitwe Teaching Hospital,” she said.

Heritage site entry fees to be reduced

By ANDREW MUKOMA THE National Heritage Conservation Commission (NHCC) is considering reducing entry fees to selected heritage sites in the country to encourage more visitors.

This will be done after consultation with various stakeholders.

NHCC acting manager for information and public relations, Maxwell Zulu, said they would revise the fees downwards in line with the Covid-19 resilience strategy.

Mr Zulu said the local fees would be reduced so that the people could have chance to visit the sites and added that all the sites

were open.

“We have not closed the heritage sites so that people can take advantage of the situation by visiting the sites," Mr Zulu said.

He said it was only when they have visited the sites, that citizens would appreciate their beauty.

Mr Zulu said even the second wave of Covid-19 should not affect visitsto the sites as adequate measures had been put in place.

Mr Zulu said he would be hopeful that domestic tourism would be promoted in the country. He said they would be able to even collect the little fees that would be paid from the sites.

Govt stakes K2.6m for mineral exploration

By SILUMESI MALUMO GOVERNMENT has allocated over K2.6 million for exploration of rare minerals throughout the country.

Ministry of Mines and Mineral Development Permanent Secretary, Barnaby Mulenga, said K2, 670, 000 would be used for explorations this year.

Mr Mulenga said Government would ensure that areas with minerals were mapped so that they could be exploited for the benefit of the country.

He said in an interview yesterday that the exploration would commence after the rainy season.

Mr Mulenga said Government had secured funds in the 2021 budget to carry out a survey to ascertain level of minerals which can be exploited.

Government, he said, was keen to ensure that more minerals which were not tapped were exploited to generate more revenue.

“The country has various minerals which have not be exploited, therefore, a survey was needed to ensure that the areas with the available minerals were mapped.

“About K2, 670, 000 has been allocated in the 2021 national budget to undertake the exploration of the minerals this year. Government made a decision to ascertain the level of minerals the country has in some areas which have not been mapped,” Mr Mulenga said.

He said that the country had minerals such as zinc, nickel, and oil among others which needed to be exploited.

“So this exercise will begin once the rainy season comes to an end. During rainy season, it is very difficult to undertake explorations,” Mr Mulenga noted.

Meanwhile, the Energy Regulation Board (ERB) rescinded policy decisions on cost line, ERB Director General Langiwe Lungu has said.

In a letter addressed to OMCs, dealers and transporters, Ms Lungu said the cost lines that had been rescinded included fuel marking fees, ERB fees and Strategic Reserve Fund (SRF) fees.

She said the decision follows the issuance of Statutory Instrument Number 125 of 2020 on Zero rating on Petrol and Diesel.

The ERB has since issued a new price build up list which will was effected on Thursday this week.

UPND chairperson for energy Charles Kaisala said that there was erratic supply of fuel in the country and appealed for corrective measures.

He said there was erratic fuel supply because the country was bankrupt.

ZACA opposes lockdown, poor would suffer most

By OLIVER SAMBOKO CALLS by health experts to lockdown the country will not be in the best interest of consumers as prices of essential goods would skyrocket if this decision was to be taken, the Zambia Consumers Association (ZACA) has warned.

ZACA executive secretary, Zuba Sakala, said in an interview that already, the prices of food have soared beyond the reach of many households and to suggest that the country should lockdown was unfair.

Mr Sakala said it was too early to call for a lock down of the country as such a decision would spell doom to the majority of citizens who could not afford to stock food because of limited resources.

“Locking down the country will have far more consequences on the wellbeing and survival of most poor households than the Covid-19 because prices of essential good will skyrocket beyond the reach of the poor,” he said.

He said ZACA had been monitoring the price of food and other essential necessities and was worried that the majority citizens were hardly surviving.

Mr Sakala said as a landlocked country, Zambia should be careful in the manner it was handling the Covid-19 to ensure that there was a balance between the health of citizens and the economy.

He said those calling for the lockdown were well to do and did not care about the many Zambians who survive through selling in the streets.

Mr Sakala said health experts should instead call for strict adherence to Covid-19 preventive measures.

He said Government should heighten Covid-19 screening at all points of entry.

MPS UNDER PRESSURE From Page 1 Both Patriotic Front and UPND members are under pressure from a fully packed field of aspiring candidates.

From the Copperbelt, Lusaka through to Southern Province, indications are that incumbents will not have it easy.

Mr Christopher Kan’gombe and Mr Binwell Mpundu in Kitwe have given sleepless nights to Kamfinsa and Nkana East MPs, Mr Elario Musonda and Mr Alexander Chiteme, respectively.

In the UPND, strongmen in the likes of Mazubuka Central MP Gary Nkombo and his Monze Central counterparty, Jack Mwiimbu are also being challenged by youthful contestants who feel the two have overstayed.

In Siavonga, UPND MP, Darius Mulunda will be facing 11 challengers during primary elections including immediate former MP, Kennedy Hamudulu, who has indicated that he will seek reelection to finish the projects he left behind after he was not readopted in 2016.

Ms Mwanakatwe

In Lusaka’s Kabwata and Munali constituencies, the race has heated up as more youthful aspirants enter the fray with intentions of grabbing the seats from incumbents, Given Lubinda and Nkandu Luo respectively.

Lusaka Central’s Margaret Mwanakatwe is facing the heat from challengers including ZANACO Bank chairperson, Charity Lumpa.

The race to Manda Hill is becoming hot and uncomfortable for the incumbents who seem unprepared by the challenge from the aspirants.

The MPs from both the ruling party and opposition are under pressure and indications are that they will not have an easy ticket to Manda Hill in the August 12 election as they face stiff competition for re-adoption within their own political parties.

Most political parties have indicated that they will only adopt candidates popular on the ground.

In Lusaka’s Munali constituency, the incumbent MP Professor Nkandu Luo, who is Livestock and Fisheries Minister, complained that a number of male aspiring candidates from her party were actively campaigning to replace her.

Former Health minister, Dr Chitalu Chilufya is facing challenge from Stella Mbewe, who is aspiring for the Mansa Central seat on the PF ticket and has expressed confidence that she will be adopted by the party.

She wants to take over from Dr Chilufya, claiming that he was not popular enough to get the PF vote in this year's election.

And one of the UPND aspiring candidates for Mazabuka Central, Mr Kizzy Moonga says he takes exception to a statement by some women in UPND endorsing Mr Nkombo as the preferred candidate for the seat in the August elections.

Recently, Mazabuka Central constituency chairlady Eli Mutinta single handedly endorsed Mr Nkombo as the preferred candidate for the Mazabuka seat, which has attracted sharp reactions from other aspirants on the UPND ticket.

She said Mr Nkombo was a pillar in UPND and represents the people of Mazabuka effectively hence the need for another mandate.

But Mr Moonga, disagreed with her statement and described it as misleading and does not represent the views of people who have not seen any development under Mr Nkombo's period in Parliament.

ZAMRA MUTE OVER HONEYBEE CHALLENGE From Page 1

Meanwhile, deputy chief whip, Tutwa Ngulube said the so called Honey Bee scandal is a serious propaganda in which the Zambia Bureau of Standards (ZABS), Zambia Medicines Regulatory Authority (ZAMRA) and some private media houses have allegedly been compromised to scandalise the PF Government.

Recently, when appearing before the Public Accounts Committee, Medical Stories Limited Managing Director Chikuta Mbewe disclosed that the condoms and gloves which were procured from Honey Bee were not safe for use after failing to meet the required standards set by ZABS. However, the Indian manufacturers of the contro-

VEDANTA Resources Holding Limited and two others have sued Konkola Copper Mine (KCM) provisional liquidator, Milingo Lungu, challenging the splitting of the mining firm.

The three, Vedanta Resources Holding Limited, Vedanta Resources (Jersey II) Limited and Vedanta Resources Limited have sought leave to sue KCM PLC for the same reason.

Last December 28, Mr Lungu issued a management brief to KCM employees, announcing the reorganisation of the giant mining firm.

Under the reorganisation, Mr Milingo proposed to restructure KCM into two sub-

sidiary companies effective February 1, this year.

But the three want the Lusaka High Court to order Mr Lungu to immediately reverse any process of KCM reorganisation.

Vedanta Resources Holding and two others have contended that Mr Lungu does not have the power to carry out the reorganisation of KCM business, assets and affairs in the manner he announced on December 28, last year.

They also want an order of injunction restraining Mr Lungu from undertaking any reorganisation of KCM or transferring, disposing of, selling or dissipating the assets until the determination of the proceedings.

In a statement of claim, the three companies stated that

versial gloves and condoms which Honey Bee Pharmacy supplied to the Ministry of Health have disputed the laboratory tests conducted

by Zambia Bureau of Standards (ZABS).

The manufacturers said ZABS’ results were faulty because the institution did not follow required test procedures as specified by the World Health Organisation.

Universal Prophylactic PVT Limited of India, the manufacturer of the condoms and Adeshwar Meditex Limited which manufactured the gloves have all discredited the results from ZABS. Both firms indicated that they had state of the art inhouse laboratory that conduct pre-delivery quality control while other samples were sent to independent

tests from other reputable laboratories to ascertain ZABS’ claims.

They have now demanded for an independent evaluation of the ZABS test.

But when contacted, ZAMRA who initiated the tests opted to remain mute when queried to state why the manufacture and supplier of the condoms and gloves were not invited to witness the tests of the two medical products.

ZAMRA public relations manager, Ludovic Mwape said he was not in a position to comment as that could only be done by his superiors who he said were out of office.

And when further asked why the ZAMRA decided to take the same samples to Zimbabwe for analysis and test when ZABS had carried

similar exercise on the same, Mr Mwape said it was an acceptable practice to get second opinion when carrying out quality assurance test.

And in an interview, Mr Ngulube accused ZABS and ZAMBRA of being compromised by those advocating for regime change.

He said foreigners supporting an opposition party had compromised some leaders in Government institutions and media organisations to spearhead propaganda aimed at maligning the PF government and President Edgar Lungu.

Mr Ngulube, who is PF Kabwe Central Member of Parliament, told the Daily Nation that some State institutions had teamed up with the opposition to malign Government using the Honey Bee scandal.

Opening of schools rescheduled to Feb 1 From Page 1 President Edgar Lungu has since directed the Minister of General Education and the Minister of Higher Education to ensure all institutions were ready.

He said the two ministries should work with the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Local Government and other sector players.

This is contained in a statement issued by President Lungu’s Special Assistant for Press and Public Relations, Isaac Chipampe.

KCM holds three large scale mining licences and a mineral processing licence to undertake mining operations at Chingola and Chilabombwe.

It stated that through its subsidiary Vedanta Resources (Jersey II) provides significant loans to KCM including an additional US$416, 500, 000 during the 12 months ended March 31, 2019.

"1 have heard the concerns of parents, guardians and other stakeholders, therefore, this decision is aimed at ensuring institutions of learning prepare adequately, and strictly adhere to public health regulations and adequate preparedness by all relevant authorities, including parents and guardians," President Lungu said.

lenders agreed to provide the second defendant loan facilities in the aggregate amount of US$700, 000, 000, subsequently increased to US$820, 000, 000,” it said..

Vedanta Resources Holdings said that KCM failed to meet obligations to the finance parties and between June 28, 2019 and July 20 2020.

Vedanta Resources (Jersey II) paid in total a sum of US$120,400,000 pursuant to the demand guarantee.

It stated that by operation of law, it is subrogated to the rights of the finance parties under the security in respect of its right to indemnification

by KCM adding that it is a secured creditor of the mine in US$ 120, 400, 000.

The three stated that by the proposed actions of Mr Lungu and KCM they would continue to suffer loss and damage.

New Normal.

President Lungu stressed that protection of learners should not only be left to school authorities but that parents have a key role to play.

“Closing schools indefinitely because of Covid-19, is not the answer because we do not know when this disease will go away or whether it will go at all as espoused by the World Health Organisation,” he said.

He noted that the experience of last year when learners lost about seven months of learning taught the nation that compliance to health guidelines was the key to protecting learners as well as ensuring their career paths were not ruined.

"Last year we heard of sad

stories arising from the closure of schools due to Covid-19.

There were various juvenile delinquencies that destroyed the lives of some of the learners due to long stay at home.

“Digital platforms, as well, only helped children from well to do families. Even then there was no teacher-pupil contact and supervising children to be on computers was not the easiest task for parents,” he said.

The President emphasised that the decision taken on reopening of schools could be varied depending on how Covid-19 evolves.

Mr Lungu urged people not to politicise the fight against Covid-19 because the disease has no political boundaries.

Ministers refund treasury 99.3pc

By OLIVER SAMBOKO

NEARLY all the money owed by ministers who had stayed in office when Parliament was dissolved has been paid, leaving only a balance of K29, 448.36, Accountant General Kennedy Musonda has said.

Mr Musonda said the money had been refunded to the national treasury.

He said in a statement to the Daily Nation yesterday that 99.3 percent has been paid, only a balance of K29, 448.36 was still outstanding.

He said according to records, K4, 237, 215.74 out of K4, 266, 664.10 has been refunded, representing a recovery rate of 99.3 percent.

“The Ministry of Finance wishes to update the nation on the status of refunds related to salaries totaling K4, 266,

664.10, which were paid to Cabinet Ministers, Provincial Ministers, and Deputy Ministers who served between May and August 2016,” he said.

Mr Musonda said of the total repaid amount, K2, 570, 058.30 was made through bulk deposits while the remaining amount came from individuals.

“Therefore, the outstanding amount is now K29, 448.36, only,” he stated.

He said the Ministry of Finance, through his office, will again update the nation once the outstanding amount of K29, 448.36 was cleared in full.

Last month, the Constitutional Court gave the former ministers 30 days to pay back the salaries and allowances they benefitted during their illegal stay in office ranging between K54, 000 and K61, 000.

JOB LOSSES LOOM IN TOURISM SECTOR

By PETER SICHALI

T

HE second wave of Covid-19 will result in mass job losses in the tourism and hospitality industry in Northern Tourism Circuit, Regional Tourism Development Coordinator Francis Chiwele has said.

Mr Chiwele said international tourists arrivals had completely cut off due to lockdowns in their respective countries.

He said domestic tourism was equally affected as the second wave of Covid-19 was scaring, thereby negatively affecting the resource envelop.

"Covid-19 is a real threat to Zambia’s tourism sector and there is a high risk that many firms will shut down and disappear.

“Zambia’s travel and tourism industry, which had shown signs of growth in recent years,

is now being negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic," Mr Chiwele said.

He said with the Tourism and Hospitality Act No. 13 of 2015, the country has seen considerable political will.

"The administrative bottlenecks such as the cumbersome process of obtaining a license and the numerous licenses have been a major constraint to the growth of the sector," Mr Chiwele said.

Mr Chiwele said the situation was likely to worsen in

the face of the second wave of Covid-19.

Government, he said, was engaging with the tourism sector players to address some of the longstanding challenges and more recent pressing challenges.

"The Zambian government is also considering consolidating its licensing process into a one-stop-shop so as to facilitate the entry of new firms into the sector especially after Covid-19,"Mr Chiwele said.

72, 000 Muchinga farmers benefit from FISP

By PETER SICHALI

OVER 72, 000 farmers in Muchinga Province have benefitted from the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP) for 2020/2021 farming season, Provincial Agricultural Coordinator (PACO) Victor Mulopa has confirmed.

Dr Mulopa said the province is expected to record 15 per cent increase in maize production following early distribution of farming inputs and favourable rains the province was receiving.

He said all beneficiaries received inputs by December 2020.

Dr Mulopa said the province recorded 252, 000 tonnes in 2019 but that the output would increase to 394,000 tonnes, an increase by over 15 per cent.

“Last year we produced 394, 000 metric tonnes of maize and this year we are expecting an increase of not less than 15 percent. This is because farmers received

He said the Ministry of Agriculture in collaboration with Provincial and district administrations has since distributed the chemicals to all the nine districts in the province.

"As a province we are ready and prepared for any eventually of disease and Army worms, of course som district have reported cases of army worms which are

"Are farmers are grateful to Government for the support they are receiving and have pledged to increase production for enhanced good security," Dr Mulopa said.

Indiscipline in Education Ministry rife - PAC

By SILUMESI MALUMO

PARLIAMENTARY Public Accounts Committee (PAC) yesterday grilled Ministry of General Education Permanent Secretary for Administration, Jabbin Mulwanda, for failing to curb indiscipline among officers.

PAC member who is also Solwezi Central Member of Parliament Teddy Kasoso, indicated that the level of indiscipline in the ministry was high but the Permanent Secretary had not taken any action against the officers.

Mr Kasoso said the only action the Permanent Secretary had taken was to charge some officials several times without taking punitive action.

He said Dr Mulwanda had charged an officer in Lusaka 33

times and Solwezi 21 times but and nothing serious had been done.

He said this yesterday when Dr Mulwanda appeared before the committee.

Mr Kasoso said if Dr Mulwanda was proactive in discharging his duties punitive action would have been taken against indisciplined officers.

“How can you charge someone 33 times and some of the officers were only charged when the PS was told that he will be appearing before the committee in order to show to us that he is doing his work properly when not.

Meanwhile, Kasempa MP Brenda Tambatamba wondered why the ministry continued to misappropriate funds for programmes in various schools.

Miners’ union warned

By NATION REPORTER

THE Ministry of Labour and Social Security have threatened to deregister the Consolidated Miners and Allied Workers Union of Zambia (CMAWUZ) for violating Industrial and Labour Relations act.

Labour Commissioner Givens Muntengwa has given CMAWUZ three months to show cause why the union should not be deregistered or face the consequences for violations of the Industrial and Labour Relations Act .

He assured the general public that it would superintend over the preparations leading to the holding of the quadrennial conference for the Agricultural Technical and Professional Staff Union of Zambia (ATPSUM) so that laws are complied with and that the list of delegates is drawn in accordance with the Union constitution.

Mr Muntengwa said the holding of the said event follows the Court case of Hacholi Makondo and others vs Attorney and Mr Joe Kamutumwa.

The Court of Appeal guided that Mr Kamutumwa was wrongly removed from office while some of the ATPSUM members who were in management scales were directed to vacate their positions as the Industrial and Labour Relations Act, Cap. 269 of the laws was instructive in the matter.

Mr Bota said 90 percent of fresh products in Shoprite outlets across the country was sourced from local suppliers.

"We are working with a good number of local suppliers and 90 percent of fresh produce is locally sourced,"Mr Bota said.

Mr Bota said the chain store would continue to give support to local suppliers to enhance production.

"We will continue complementing Government efforts by ensuring that we procure locally produced fresh commodities for our outlets across the country," he said.

He said Shoprite has been procuring fresh products from local suppliers and cited watermelons, mangoes, sweet potatoes, peppers and sweet corn among other produce.

"Zambia has the potential

to produce fresh produce and and 90 percent of the stored in outlets across the country is sourced locally,"Mr Bota said.

Mr Bota said Shoprite was helping local manufactures to export peanut butter, honey and other products to its stores outside Zambia so that local suppliers do not have to worry about permit applications and requirements.

“The company will continue encouraging local suppliers to continue producing quality fresh produce," Mr Bota said.

This laissez faire attitude, he said, would lead to an astronomical spread of the disease.

He reminded the market committee that the market area was a key area and as such the preventive protocols needed to be observed without excuse. He advised the market committee to ensure that the marketeers and customers adhered to the protocols.

Zambians, he said, were not dull to believe the propaganda from the opposition leader.

Mr Changwereza said Mr Hichilema should also stop misleading miners at KCM that once the entity was split, they would be declared redundant and lose their terminal benefits.

He said such careless statements had the potential to cause anxiety among miners and also amounted to inciting the affected workers to turn against Government.

Mr Changwereza said as far as Zambians were concerned the action by Government to place KCM on liquidation was done in the best interest of country.

Govt releases K2.3m for completion of Mbala Skills Centre other works.

Mr. Chibalange disclosed this at a media briefing in Mbala.

Mr. Chibalange has since expressed happiness with the release of the funds to the district.

He explained that the release of the funds will enable the contractor complete remaining works, adding that this will also see the learning institution opened to the public.

Covid-19 cases jump 100 mark in Chongwe CHONGWE has so far recorded 134 cases of Covid-19 cases with one death, Chongwe district health surveillance officer Kelvin Mwakapushi has said.

Mr. Mwakapushi made the observation when he met Chongwe main market committee members to strategise on the preventive measures in and around the market area.

He revealed that the district had experienced a spike in the number of Covid-19 cases in the second wave with the numbers going beyond the one hundred mark.

He pointed out that the number of Covid-19 positive cases were concentrated in the central part of the district and stressed that it was therefore important that the further spread of the disease is curtailed in order to save lives.

He said that the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic was more dangerous and as such there was greater need to prevent its spread

He therefore called on the market committee to take it upon themselves and educate the traders on the need for enhanced Covid- 19 preventive measures.

And Chongwe central ward councillor, Juvenalis Mulimbika noted that the community had generally relaxed their adherence to the preventive measures and called on the business community to help

in enforcing the measures as this would have a negative effect on businesses if left unchecked.

He said that it was incumbent upon the business community not to allow customers to walk into their premises without masks or in breach of any of the protocols.

Meanwhile, market committee chairman, Geoffrey Mubiana observed that the local authority was not being helpful to the marketeers.

He disclosed that the market master who is supposed to be a link between the market and council is never found in the market and that this makes it difficult for the traders to communicate effectively with the council.

He said that collaboration with the council needed to be enhanced if the preventive measures will be enhanced in the market. He noted that the marketeers were making monetary contributions to council and yet the council was doing almost nothing in contributing to the cleanliness of the market.

And Mbala District Youth committee chairperson, Oliver Sichangwe has commended the government for releasing the funds to complete the construction of the first youth skills center in the area.

Mr. Sichangwa said completion of the skills centre will enable youths in the area acquire life skills.

He explained that the centre will also help reduce youth’s engagement in illicit activities such as beer drinking.

"With the coming of the cen-

Enhance transparency, Govt urged

By PETER SICHALI THERE is need for Government to revise the law relating to procurement so as to ensure transparency and accountability in public purchases, former State House deputy minister Blackson Sikanyika has said.

Mr Sikanyika said the current procurement laws had not guaranteed transparency and efficiency.

He said Government should amend the ZPPA Act to address inadequacies such as overpricing of contracts, single sourcing among others.

Mr Sikanyika said the country was losing millions of kwacha due to faulty procurement laws.

"There is too much inflation of contract prices, corruption in the awarding of these contracts among other irregularities. Procurement laws need an overhaul to save public resources,"Mr Sikanyika said.

And Mr Sikanyika said the Auditor General's office should audit all Government contracts.

“There is too much inflation of contract prices, corruption in the awarding of these contracts among other irregularities. Procurement laws need an overhaul to save public resources,”Mr Sikanyika said.

Government is losing thousands of kwacha through overpricing of contracts and therefore there is need for forensic auditing of these projects

He said some contracts had been fully funded by Government but had not been completed due to corruption.

Mr Sikanyika said there was need for a thorough audit of all the Government funded projects to ensure that there was accountability and transparency in the implementation of projects.

"Government is losing thousands of kwacha through overpricing of contracts and therefore there is need for forensic auditing of these projects," Mr Sikanyika said.

ZRA INVESTS K40M IN ONLINE SYSTEMS

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

T

HE Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) last year invested in excess of K40 million in highend and sophisticated servers for online tax systems.

This is in the organsation’s continued effort to stabilise core systems, says ZRA Commissioner General, Kingsley Chanda.

Mr Chanda said the innovations and system developments had revolutionised service delivery as most taxpayers no longer see the need to physically visit ZRA offices most of the time.

He explained that this was because taxpayers and their tax agents or advisors were able to do most of the activities online especially during this time of Covid-19.

He said ZRA would therefore this year focus on enhancing the tax system to

Mr Chanda

address the demands of the taxpayers.

ZRA is looking at providing the business houses with easier and cheaper options for integrating with the organisation for transmission of their live sales data.

“With regard to fiscalisation, the focus in 2020 was to monitor the utilisation of EFDS. This year, our focus will be to enhance the sys-

tem to address the demands of the changing business and platforms,” Mr Chanda said recently during a press briefing in Lusaka.

Mr Chanda said ZRA wanted to be more responsive to business needs and taxpayer needs in a much faster and more efficient manner.

He said it was in this regard that management ap-

WB stakes $5bn for 11 African countries

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

HE World Bank has indicated plans to invest over US$5 billion over the next five years to help restore degraded landscapes, improve agriculture productivity and promote livelihoods across 11 African countries.

World Bank Group president, David Malpass, announced the investment at the One Planet Summit, a high-level meeting co-hosted with France and the United Nations that was focused on addressing climate change and biodiversity loss.

The more than US$5 billion in financing will support agriculture, biodiversity, community development, food security, landscape restoration, job creation, resilient infrastructure, rural mobility, and access to renewable energy across 11 countries.

These are countries on the Sahel, Lake Chad and Horn of Africa

“This investment, which comes at a crucial time, will help improve livelihoods as countries recover from Covid-19 while also dealing with the impact of both biodiversity loss and climate change on their people and economies,” Mr Malpass said.

He said many of these efforts were in line with the Great Green Wall initiative which built on World Bank landscape investments in these countries over the past eight years that reached more than 19 million people and placed 1.6 million hectares under sustainable land management.

“Restoring natural ecosystems in the drylands of Africa benefits both people and the planet,” said Moussa Faki Mahamat, Chairperson of the African Union Commission.

Working with many partners, PROGREEN, a World Bank global fund dedicated to boosting countries’ efforts to address landscape

proved prince II agile framework as a management tool for all projects.

“This is the most modern way of managing projects in order to ensure success, sustainability and avoid wastage and project failure.

“All these efforts are with the view of ensuring that the authority remains relevant and responds to the prevailing environment,” Mr Chanda said.

Mr Chanda also said ZRA responded to the Covid-19 challenges by making extensive use of the remote working capabilities that were already in place in the authority.

He said up to 600 staff members were enabled to work from home during the peak time of the pandemic as most of the internal business processes had been automated, making remote working even more effective.

‘Covid-19 second wave to bite tourism hard’

By PETER SICHALI THE second wave of Covid-19 will result in Mass job losses in the tourism and hospitality industry following the reduction in tourist arrivals in Northern Tourism Circuit, Regional Tourism Development Coordinator Francis Chiwele has said.

Mr Chiwele said international tourists arrivals had completely cut off due to lockdowns in many countries.

Mr Chiwele said domestic tourism arrivals has equally been affected as the second wave of Covid-19 had discouraged movements.

He said the resource envelop is badly affected and that people have less to spend.

Mr Chiwele said the second wave of Covid-19 has impacted negatively on the tourism sector in Northern Tourism circuit and may result in job losses.

"Covid-19 is a real threat to Zambia’s tourism sector and there is a high risk that many firms will shut down and disappear, undermining any ultimate economic

recovery when international travel resumes. Zambia’s travel and tourism industry, which had shown signs of healthy growth in recent years, is now being negatively impacted significantly by the Covid-19 pandemic," Mr Chiwele said.

He said the Tourism and Hospitality Act No. 13 of 2015, the country has seen considerable political will igniting the ZTMP whose speedy implementation unfortunately has been hampered by the coronavirus pandemic.

Mr Chiwele said the situation is likely to double or worsen in the face of Covid-19.

Mr Chiwele said Government was engaging with the tourism sector players with a view of addressing some of the longstanding challenges and more recent pressing challenges.

Mr Chiwele said with the current crisis, many employers in the private sector argue that the new employment code enacted on the 10th of May 2019, and which came into force on the 10th of May 2020, inhibits the creation of jobs.

degradation, will also invest US$14.5 million in five Sahelian countries – Burkina Faso, Chad, Niger, Mali, Mauritania.

The World Bank Group is the biggest multilateral funder of climate investments in developing countries.

In December 2020, the World Bank Group announced an ambitious new target for 35 percent of its financing to have climate co-benefits, on average, over the next five years.

FINANCIAL services should be designed with great care to avoid harmful outcomes to families and particularly women.

This is according to the Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) Zambia Survey results on gender, social norms and financial decision making in Zambia.

According to FSD Zambia, the survey results gave insight into how it could directly engage financial inclusion interventions with the normative environment of communities within which financial decisions were made.

The survey also showed that spouses were willing to sacrifice household-level income to maintain individual control over money, viewing control of income to power in the household.

FSD Zambia Chief Executive Officer, Betty Wilkinson, said, “This research is the first of its kind, and the findings are fundamental to addressing financial health for Zambians.

“We need to work harder on addressing misunderstandings between husbands and wives, so they can both be more effective in managing household income and create gender-balanced family harmony.”

THE SURVEY

The survey also showed that spouses were willing to sacrifice household-level income to maintain individual control over money, viewing control of income to power in the household.

FSD Zambia Director – Analytics, Floyd Mwansa, said the design of financial products and services must incorporate social norms as they related to household

level dynamics and that this research provided the evidence.

Mr Mwansa said: “This is necessary if we are to close the gender gap in financial inclusion.”

The results from the survey indicated that individuals preferred to have smaller amounts of money in their own hands rather than larger sums in their spouses’ hands, due to both perceptions that spouses spend money on unimportant items, and individual desires to have full control over money.

Additionally, it was revealed that there is a social norm that forbids spouses to save money in secret.

“Therefore, it is appropriate for both wives and husbands to save and let their spouses know that they are saving separately in order to avoid a backlash, especially on women spouses.

“Both men and women believe household unity and peace depend on the agreement in financial decision making,” read the survey results in part.

SOLWEZI ENHANCES COVID-19 AWARENESS

By JACKSON MAPAPAYI

S ‘Get expert guidance on steaming’

By ANDREW MUKOMA

AN environmentalist in Livingstone has advised the public to seek expert guidance when using herbal concoctions in steaming for possible prevention of Covid-19.

Mr Benjamin Mibenge noted that some people had resorted to using un-recommended herbal leaves for steaming.

He said these who were making concoctions out of tree leaves which they boil believing that it might steam away Covid-19 should seek medical advice from experts.

Mr Mubenge was speaking in an interview with the Daily Nation in Livingstone.

He said in as much as the

use of eucalyptus, lemon and neem plants was effective on various ailments, there was need to seek advice from experts.

He said this is in order to ascertain whether the concoctions helps to cure Covid-19 or not.

Mr Mibenge also cautioned people to protect and use the trees sustainability without damaging their lifespan.

He said that it would be very sad if all trees targeted tries dried up due to lack of care from people using them.

Mr Mibenge has also encouraged each to ensure that they plant trees every week.

OLWEZI Municipal Council has intensified community awareness on Covid-19 preventive guidelines through stakeholder engagement.

Council Assitant Public Relations manager, Esther Chirwa, said that so far, bus operators and market leaders had been engaged to strategize on how compliance could be enhanced to reduce the spread of the virus.

Ms Chirwa said bus operators were drawn from the main station, Kazomba and Zambezi/ Kasempa station while market leaders came from Solwezi Main Market, Kyawama, Kazomba, Messenger, Zambia, Mitech and Mushitala Markets respectively.

She said the need for the pandemic to be taken seriously was one of the pertinent issues discussed during the meetings.

Ms Chirwa observed that most residents in Solwezi had

relaxed in adhering to the Covid-19 guidelines, thereby contributing to the increase of cases being recorded in the district.

"It was therefore emphasized that prevention of the spread of the virus in communities is key in fighting the second wave of the Coronavirus which is more dangerous as compared to the earlier version hence engagement of public leaders," Ms Chirwa said.

She indicated that both bus operators and market leaders should ensure that they put the lives of passengers and customers first other than only concentrating on making profits amidst the outbreak of covid-19.

"And prominent from the meeting with market leaders is the need for a taskforce to be formed in the markets that will comprise Market Leaders, the Crime Prevention Unit (CPU) and the Council to work together in sensitizing members of the public on the Covid-19," she added.

Chief Kachaka of Zambezi put to rest GWEMBE District has received 500 litres of deltamethrin, a chemical used for spraying to contain arm worms which have invaded the area and are damaging maize fields.

Gwembe District Agricultural Coordinator (DACO) Imbuwa Mushebwa says farmers should therefore not panic as government is responding to the situation.

Mr. Mushebwa disclosed this to ZANIS in an interview in Gwembe on Thursday.

Mr. Mushebwa said there are sporadic cases of damaged maize fields in the district.

"The district has received 500 litres of the chemical and farmers should not panic because Gwembe has sporadic cases of damage," he said.

He disclosed that the central part is hit but advised farmers in the district to take precautions before the pest could spread to the other areas.

The DACO further disclosed that Agricultural Camp Extension Officers in his ministry are helping farmers to spray their fields in an effort to contain the armyworms that are causing havoc to the crops.

"Experts are currently visiting different fields, assessing the damage caused by the pest and monitoring the spraying process.

In the meantime, maize farmers are advised to start re-planting their fields with early-maturing seed as the district is experiencing enough rainfall," he said.

Mr. Mushebwa however, appealed to farmers in the district to report any suspicious worms in their fields to the Ministry of Agriculture.

The DACO dismissed reports of hunger in this year's farming season in all the three Agricultural Blocks and 15 Camps Gwembe brags off. - ZANIS

CHIEF Kucheka of the Luvale people of Zambezi who died on 8 January 2021 has been put to rest at Kakwe royal grave.

Speaking during the burial in Zambezi Chiefs and Traditional Affairs Minister, Lawrence Sichalwe described as a promoter of peace and unity not only among Luvales but other ethnic groups.

Mr Sichalwe said Chief Kucheka upheld the one Zambia, one nation motto by welcoming other ethnic groups to work or explore opportunities in his chiefdom.

"One of the leadership qualities that the late chief exhibited to the satisfaction of government was in upholding peace, unity and harmony among the Luvale people as well as other ethnic groups,” Mr Sichalwe said.

He said Chief Kucheka will also be remembered for partnering with government in promoting local and chiefdom development for the betterment of his subjects.

"Government wishes to

salute and pay special tribute to the leadership style that our late traditional leader exhibited during his reign," Mr Sichalwe said.

Mr Sichalwe appealed to the royal establishment to ensure that the Luvale culture, custom and tradition is followed when choosing the next heir to the throne to avoid succession wrangles.

He said Government is looking forward to a smooth handover of leadership in Kucheka chiefdom.

Speaking at the same event, North-Western Province Minister Nathaniel Mubukwanu called on the Kucheka royal establishment and the subjects to uphold peace and unity.

"Our late Chief promoted peace and unity and we can only honor him by upholding the peace and unity he so much wanted to see among us.

Mr Mubukwanu said the royal establishment should exhibit unity of purpose for the betterment of the chiefdom.

And Kucheka Royal Es-

tablishment secretary Kasupa Kayawe appealed to Government to honour the late Chief by completing all developmental projects he advocated for his chiefdom.

Mr Kayawe cited the completion of the Kucheka palace which has been at foundation level for a long time, the completion of Liyovu Secondary School and construction of a mini hospital to service the close to seven thousand people in the chiefdom.

Senior Chief Ndungu's Prime Minister, Patrick Fumbelo thanked government for its continuous support to the Luvale people during trying moments.

Mr Fumbelo called on the Luvale people to maintain peace and unity amongst themselves.

He said succession wrangles that have rocked most chiefdoms are detrimental to development.

UPND in has urged the Ministry of Health to give a true position on the alleged shortage of Covid-19 testing kits.

The party has claimed that in Southern Province, some people were being sent away from the hospitals and clinics due to none availability of testing kits.

Information and Publicity Secretary, Neto Halwabala, wondered how there could be a shortage if well-wishers had been donating towards the fight of the Covid-19.

He said this in a statement released to the Daily Nation in Livingstone.

"As UPND in Southern Province, we urge the Ministry of Health to give a true position on the shortage of COVID-19 testing kits. Here people are being sent away from the clinics and hospital as they can't be swabbed due to non-availability of Covid-19 testing kits.

WILL BA ZION COMPLY WITH COVID-19 PREVENTION GUIDELINES?

Saturday 16 January, 2021

Send an email to dailynation@ymail.com

Dear Editor, FOLLOWING the upswing in the number of Covid-19 cases in my home resort town of Siavonga (currently standing at 43), most local churches have suspended worship.

The office of the District Commissioner will also engage all hotel owners, traders, shop owners and bar owners for the last time before swinging in action to punish those flouting health guidelines.

"We have done enough sensitisation, what we are getting is opposition, arrogance and pure disregard for the law. After engagements tomorow, it will be action, and some may be hurt in the process.

“Be warned that we have done all what is needed to remind, and to dialogue, don't blame the actions we will take," District Commissioner, Prince Ephraim Mwanjababtu wrote to the residents last week.

Currently, Siavonga has 43 confirmed Covid-19 cases, but while the local administration is doing everything possible

to avoid a full blown outbreak, members of the African Apostolic Faith Mission also known as ba Zion are not toeing the line.

This week, while all other churches suspended their worship services and sent congregants home, these particular citizens ignored the danger and continued with worshipping.

They have always refused to cooperate with the authorities when it comes to such issues and believe diseases like Covid-19 can be treated and cured by jumping over a brazing fire and taking holy water (salty water from a local hot spring).

The members of this church consist the majority of Siavonga population, although the actual number is not known because they always refuse to take part in Government Census, and therefore Government should ensure they are brought to order and stopped from super spreading the virus through their conduct.

PRINCE SAMBOKO.

IT’S A PASSING PHASE

Dear Editor, GOOD morning, as you begin this day, I wish to encourage you that no matter what you are going through, God has allowed it to happen for a reason.

Please be comforted that it is just a matter of time, it shall pass. Even with this Covid-19 pandemic, we shall overcome as a nation.

I encourage you to put God first in all that you are doing. Be a responsible citizen and help flatten the curve. You can’t go out to the bars and nightclubs and moving aimlessly because the fear of God will be in you and the Holy Spirit will surely guide you on what is right.

You can insult Government and its agents all you want but

remember that all Governments are established by God. For us to win this fight, we need to change our mindsets and put everything in the hands of God. President Edgar Lungu is concerned about the behaviour of Lusaka residents and the relaxed approach to Covid-19 guidelines which is driving the pandemic.

Let us stop going to funerals in large numbers and let us also stop any form of large gatherings. #StayHome.

After examining the affected spot, the priest will put the article in quarantine for seven days.

“WE ALWAYS BREAK DOWN WITH MY WIFE WHEN WE LISTEN TO THEIR STORIES,” Dear Editor, WHEN my wife and I bought a second house in 2015, we decided to give it back to God by making it an orphanage.

We started picking up these kids from under the bridges, market shelters and booths. We always breakdown when we listen to their stories.

No child deserves to go through such pain, they sleep on boxes without blankets. We have been told so often that they prefer the night because there is no pain of hunger or mockery when they are asleep.

We have so far only managed to give shelter to 32 kids. When we brought them in, we told them, "There is nothing more we can give you but introduce you to God. He will take care of you for

the rest of your lives."

And surely they have seen His faithfulness. They have never been thrown out of school, never walked without shoes, never stayed without food.

Esnart, who came when she was in Grade 7, she completed her High School last December, and now we have four who will be writing their Grade 12 this year. We got them when they were in Grade 6.

To you all beloved, no matter how impossible it might look today, trust me, "He is a Faithful God." You might have prayed for years and nothing seems to work, this year you will testify about his mercies and Love....Don’t give up, you are almost there.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK! Dear Editor THIS week has seen copper prices surge with a US$33 increase on the international market though we saw low production from the mining industry.

We also saw the decrease in Gold prices as demand swindled on the global markets but sentimental value has strongly remained in regions such as China, India, Japan and few more others though it has strongly been disturbed due to economic reset exacerbated by the second wave of Covid-19.

Sadly, Zambia's local capital market has of late been

recording some positive activities on the lines of shares being offloaded away from indigenous shareholders. Since December 2020, the local bourse has failed to post positive results from the buyers administering their strategic investment on LuSE. Zambia's local forex market has continued to seeing outstripped source of supply for US Dollars on the domestic market due to the sustained demand exacerbated by low exports, a serious trade imbalance which has stood a good test of time.

However, this week, the Kwacha saw a notch triggered

lower than the US Dollar as markets were purely flat on both ends but had little participation from importers who were suppressed with huge appetite for the US Dollar.

This week saw a shortage of supply of petrol on the local market despite maintaining stability in crude oil on the international market for some time. Two days ago we saw the nominal change in oil prices.

It’s good to see Zambia's largest supermarket Shoprite taking a serious purchasing role by buying of at least 90 percent locally produced goods.

MUFULIRA COPS INTENSIFY COVID-19 PATROLS P

By ROGERS KALERO

OLICE in Mufulira have intensified enforcement of Covid-19 preventive measures to ensure members of the public comply.

The law enforcement officers have mounted checkpoints to ensure that people leaving and entering the district have masks on their faces.

At Mufulira College of Education check-point, officers were ordering those without face masks to get out of public transport vehicles.

A vehicle carrying some journalists from Kitwe to Mufulira had its crew member and one passenger ordered to disembark because they were not wearing face-masks.

After ordering the two to disembark from the bus, the police officer ordered the driver to drive off because the two needed to learn to take the fight against covid-19 seriously. "Government, through the Ministry of Health has put in [place preventive measures to reduce the spread of the

Expert appeals for more sensitisation on vaccines

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA ZAMBIAN scientists should enhance public engagement on Covid-19 vaccines, DZIWA Science and Technology Trust (DsaT) has advised.

DSaT Executive Director, Veronica Mwaba, said there was need for Government to adequately sensitize society on the benefits of the vaccinations to curb the pandemic.

Ms Mwaba advised that the sensitization should be carefully structured, tracked and measured as the vaccines were being rolled out.

She said this in an interview in Kitwe "Public engagement is critical. An early survey by the Ministry of Health could help to concretely establish the public's thoughts about the vaccine, the exact fears they have and what they suggest to be done before the vaccinations begin," she said.

She said it was saddening to note that Covid-19 cases had continued to devastate humans in the world and Zambia was no exception.

Ms Mwaba however welcomed the development of vaccines to curb the pandemic.

Ms Mwaba

She said it was important that the Ministry of Health note that inoculations could be rejected if society did not have adequate information from credible sources.

not wait to be pushed to wear face masks, but ensure that they comply as it was in the interest of their health Mr Manda said whoever was coming or leaving Mufulira should ensure that they wear the face masks or else police officers will order them to leave their vehicles

"I think people should make a good judgement on their own and appreciate that the Covid-19 is a deadly disease.

They don't need to be whipped or pushed, but they should wear face masks on their own.

So those coming to Mufulira must follow the guidance," Mr Manda said.

PUPILS Saturday January 16, 2021

On today’s pupils’ forum in will look at a topic; Excretion .This topics will focus on significance of excretion in animals, structure of the kidney, structure of the skin and important organs in homeostasis. This topic is at grade eleven (11) level of senior biology of the Zambian syllabus, at the end of this lesson, learners will be required to answer questions based on today’s topic.

EXCRETION The process of excretion ü This is the removal of toxic metabolic waste products from the bodies of living organisms. The products of excretion are called excretory products while the organs used to remove them are called excretory organs.

The significance of excretion in animals ü Unwanted toxic substances of metabolism and byproducts are removed from the body of an animal. If left to accumulate, these waste products become poisonous and harm the organism`s normal body functions. ü Removal of waste products from the body of the animal results in maintenance of a constant internal environment that is required for normal physiological processes to occur. These include regulation of osmotic potential of body fluids, regulation of pH and blood sugar levels.

The internal structure of the kidneys

Common disorders and diseases associated with the kidney ü Common disorders and diseases include kidney failure and acute renal failure. The malfunctioning of the kidneys as a result of partial or complete damage of the nephron caused by bacterial or viral infection leads to kidney failure. ü The infections result in inflammation of the nephron leading to a variety of kidney diseases known as nephritis. ü Remedies of kidney failure include: use of a broad spectrum of antibiotics, controlled diet, for example adequate intake of salt and intake of fluids that can be used to rectify kidney failure. ü Acute renal failure is a sudden decline in renal functioning caused by a drop in pressure due to excessive blood loss, kidney infections and stones, trauma and shock. ü High blood pressure can also lead to kidney failure.

Arteries in the kidneys are damaged by high pressure resulting in low blood supply to the kidneys. Kidneys are unable to regulate blood pressure hence more arteries are blocked and stop functioning. ü Kidney failure may be treated using two ways: kidney transplant and using a dialysis (kidney) machine. ü Kidney transplant involves a surgical operation during which a normal kidney from a donor is added to an individual experiencing kidney failure. ü A kidney machine is made of a dialysis tubule through the patient’s blood passes. The tubule is long and coiled in order to increase the surface area for diffusion.

Daily Nation, Educating Zambia!

ü The tubule is also thin and selectively permeable to allow small molecules such as glucose, urea, salt and water to pass through but prevent large ones from doing so. ü The dialysis machine also contains dialysis fluid which is a solution of salts and glucose in water and its concentration equal to the normal concentration of the blood to prevent loss of glucose or any other essential mineral salt from the patient’s blood. ü The patient’s blood is led from the vein in the arm and pumped through the dialysis tubule, as blood flows through the dialysis tubule molecules of small size such as urea and salts diffuse out of the blood into the dialysis fluid.

The role of the lungs in excretion ü Lungs excrete carbon dioxide. ü Carbon dioxide is excreted during the process of gaseous exchange in the alveoli. ü Carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli across the alveolar walls.

Mechanism of excretion in the kidneys ü During ultra-filtration, small molecules such as water, mineral salts, glucose and urea from the glomerulus are filtered into the Bowman`s capsule of a nephron. It is caused by a build-up of pressure in the glomerulus. ü The pressure builds up due to the following reasons: the afferent end of the glomerulus is wider than the efferent end and blood from arteries is under high pressure. ü During ultra-filtration, the red blood cells and large molecules such as plasma proteins remain inside the glomerulus. The liquid that collects in the Bowmn`s capsule is called the glomerular filtrate. ü During selective reabsorption useful substances are reabsorbed from the glomerular filtrate in the renal tubule into the blood stream. ü The first (proximal) convolution reabsorbs all glucose, some water and some salt. The second (distal) convolution reabsorbs salts and water. Water is reabsorbed by osmosis while mineral ions, glucose and mineral salts are reabsorbed by active transport.

Common disorders and diseases associated with the kidney ü Common disorders and diseases include kidney failure and acute renal failure. The malfunctioning of the kidneys as a result of partial or complete damage of the nephron caused by bacterial or viral infection leads to kidney failure. ü The infections result in inflammation of the nephron leading to a variety of kidney diseases known as nephritis. ü Remedies of kidney failure include: use of a broad spectrum of antibiotics, controlled diet, for example adequate intake of salt and intake of fluids that can be used to rectify kidney failure. ü Acute renal failure is a sudden decline in renal functioning caused by a drop in pressure due to excessive blood loss, kidney infections and stones, trauma and shock. ü High blood pressure can also lead to kidney failure.

Arteries in the kidneys are damaged by high pressure resulting in low blood supply to the kidneys. Kidneys are

The role of the human skin in excretion ü The skin plays a role in excretion of excess water, mineral salts and traces of urea through sweat.

HOMEOSTASIS AND OSMOREGULATION Homeostasis ü Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment. The conditions in the internal environment which need to be kept constant include temperature, blood sugar, contents of tissue fluid, salt and water.

Important organs in homeostasis ü Important organs in homeostasis include the kidney, the skin and the liver.

The role of the kidney in maintaining the balance of water and salt ions

ü When the osmotic pressure of the body rises due to low amount of water caused by dehydration and reduced water intake the pituitary gland is stimulated by the hypothalamus to secrete ant diuretic hormone. ü Anti-diuretic hormone causes kidney tubules in the nephron to be more permeable to water, more water is reabsorbed into the bloodstream, restoring osmotic pressure of body fluids. ü When the amount of sodium ions in the blood is low, the adrenal glands secrete aldosterone hormone which causes the distal convoluted tubule to reabsorb more sodium ions into the blood stream. When the concentration of sodium ions in the blood is adequate,

OHANNESBURG - Former President Jacob Zuma's lawyers have told the state capture commission of inquiry that he will not appear before Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo on Monday – and they are adamant that Zuma can only be forced to appear once his legal bid for Zondo's recusal as the commission chairperson has been decided.

Zuma's lawyers are also adamant that, because the inquiry is seeking a ruling from the Constitutional Court that will compel him to answer questions without enabling him to invoke his constitutional right to remain silent, he cannot be expected to appear until that judgment is given.

In the circumstances, Zuma's attorney, Eric Mabuza, told the inquiry that "the summons purporting to compel (former) President Zuma to appear before his review is finally determined and even before the Constitutional Court has delivered judgment on the question of his constitutional rights, cannot be legally enforced at this stage."

"It is for all the reasons mentioned above that we respectfully submit that [former] president Zuma will not be appearing before the com-

mission on 18-22 January 2021.

Accordingly, counsel will not be briefed to appear."

In a letter sent to inquiry secretary Professor Itumeleng Mosala yesterday, Mabuza made it clear that the former head of state and his legal team "respectfully" disagreed with "the commission's view that (former) President Zuma is obliged to appear on 18-22 January 2021."

He was responding to a letter the commission sent to Zuma on Monday.

In that letter, Mosala told Zuma that, even if the Constitutional Court had not ruled on the commission's application to compel him to appear and answer questions at the inquiry, "you are obliged to comply with the summons and appear before it because the summons remains valid and binding on you since it has not been withdrawn, set aside or suspended."

"Therefore, the commission wishes to make it clear to you that any failure on your part, without sufficient cause, to appear before it on the 18th to 22nd January 2021 will constitute a criminal offence."

Mabuza however contends that, until Zuma's challenge to Zondo's refusal to recuse himself from hearing matters concerning him and his family is decided, he cannot be legally obliged to appear before the inquiry.

The attorney added: We remind the commission that it deemed it appropriate to approach the Constitutional Court on an extremely urgent basis to compel (former) President Zuma to comply with the very same summons that the commission now wants to enforce and to forego some of his most fundamental rights.

"The commission must therefore await the outcome of the decision of the Constitutional Court."

While at pains to state that Zuma's stance "should never be construed to suggest any disrespect or defiance of a legal process," Mabuza again accused the commission of continuing "to display conduct that shows clear bias against (former) President Zuma."

"In this instance, the commission now seeks to undermine a pending Constitutional Court judgment in pursuance of (former) President Zuma".

Museveni takes early poll lead as rival alleges fraud KAMPALA - Long-time leader Yoweri Museveni took an early lead in Uganda’s presidential election according to preliminary results yesterday, though his main rival said there had been widespread fraud and his supporters had the right to protest.

With 29.4 percent of votes from Thursday’s ballot counted, Museveni had won 1, 852, 263 votes, or 63.9 percent, while main opposition candidate Bobi Wine had 821, 874 (28.4 percent), the electoral commission said just after 11:00 hours The normally bustling capital Kampala was quiet yesterday, a holiday after Thursday’s poll,

The election campaign was marred by deadly crackdowns by security forces on opposition candidates and their supporters.

Wine, a singer-turned-lawmaker who has galvanised young Ugandans with calls for political change, told a news conference he had video proof of voting fraud. “We are winning,” he said.

“We are putting every legal, every constitutional and every non-violent option on the table,” Wine told Reuters. “I will be happy to share the videos of all the fraud and irregularities as soon

as the internet is restored.”

His claims have not been independently verified by Reuters.

The United States and European Union did not deploy teams of observers for this election. Both the African Union and East African Community sent teams.

Electoral Commission Chairman Simon Byabakama told a news conference that under Ugandan law, the burden of proof rested with Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi.

“The onus is upon candidate Kyagulanyi to show or to prove in what context and how the results are rigged,” he said.

On Wednesday, the government ordered an internet black-

out until further notice, a day after banning all social media and messaging apps.

Wine and his supporters used Facebook to relay live coverage of his campaigns and news conferences after he said many media outlets had declined to host him.

Byabakama assured Ugandans on Thursday after polls closed that results were arriving at the national tally centre, despite the internet blackout.

“We are not using local internet to transmit our results, we are using our own system,” he said, without giving details.

“Don’t worry, results will come.”

Africa CDC says nations must act fast to prepare for Covid-19 jabs ADDIS ABABA - African governments must take urgent steps to prepare for distribution of coronavirus vaccines, the continent's health watchdog said on Thursday, after the African Union announced it had secured 270 million doses.

"We cannot wait. This is not a polio or measles vaccination. We have to do it quick. Our economies are down, our people are dying," John Nkengasong, director of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention

(Africa CDC), told a press conference.

"There's absolutely no reason for accelerated preparations not to occur," he added. The African Union (AU) deal announced on Wednesday is intended to benefit countries unable to finance their own immunisation campaigns.

Governments will be able to make financing arrangements through the African Export-Import Bank that could allow for instalment payments over a five-

year period.

The doses - to be supplied by Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson - will complement vaccines secured via Covax, the globally-pooled vaccine procurement and distribution effort.

At least 50 million doses secured under the AU deal are expected to be available from April through June.

But Nkengasong said member states needed to act fast to organise storage sites in major cit-

ies, train health workers, secure supplies like needles and create effective systems to record who has received doses.

He said governments would be able to start ordering vaccines through an AU platform in the coming days.

Africa has recorded around 3.1 million Covid-19 cases, or 3.5 percent of the global total, and around 75, 000 deaths, or 2.4 percent of the global total, according to Africa CDC data.

As Covid-19 rages, S.A delays new school year until mid-Feb

JOHANNESBURG - South Africa yesterday delayed the start to its new school year by two weeks to February 15, to prevent schools becoming transmission centres for Covid-19, as new cases have hovered around 20, 000 a day for the past week.

School was out for about a third of last year, when South Africa was in the grip of its first wave of coronavirus infections.

The closures widened an already stark educational divide between elite schools that easily shifted classes online and the rest with little or no capacity for digital learning.

“CEM (council of education ministers) took this difficult decision, having considered all factors ... regarding the current state of the health system,” Deputy Basic Education Minister Reginah Mhaule told a news conference in the capital Pretoria.

“We need to take care of the lives of teachers and ... of learners,” she said. South Africa has reported more than 35, 000 deaths from Covid-19, the highest in Africa. The start of the school year, which had

already been scheduled two weeks later than normal, on January 27, would be delayed for two more weeks.

Mhaule said the minister herself, Angie Motshekga, was unwell at home but recovering, declining to answer a question about whether she had Covid-19.

Like much else in South Africa, education remains divided between a top 10 percent of schools that have world-class teaching and facilities for the well-heeled, and the poor majority.

Many of the latter were built under apartheid in predominantly black townships and rural areas, and suffer from overcrowding and poor internet access. For most of those, school simply stops when the pupils can’t come into class.

“We are working very hard to improve on the e-learning,” the deputy minister said.

“We still have difficulties in rural areas, where we have a challenge of connectivity, but we are working with all service providers ... to improve (it).”

THE FUTURE OF ZAMBIA

By DR MWELWA MULENGA

Questioning our learned assumptions Most Zambians believe what they are taught in class and what they read in books or hear on the news. But once in a while we must re-examine what we believe in light of a dynamic economic, social, and political world.

For example, many of us were taught in primary and secondary school that the greatest disadvantage Zambia has is that it is landlocked. But that is not necessarily true anymore. With all the recent technological, economic, and political advancements, Zambia’s landlocked position, surrounded by nine countries including Burundi on Lake Tanganyika, is our greatest advantage.

Only three other countries in the world have more neighbors. We must exploit this most rare hub-andspoke advantage and turn Zambia into an international hub of education, health, technology, finance, logistics, communication, and global or continental political institutions.

It is thus logic to expect the mission of Industrial Development Corporation to align with developing Zambia’s competitive advantages in these sectors.

We must also question the sensibility of policies such as targeting zero corruption, zero inflation rate, and zero carbon dioxide emission (in essence full compliance with climate change agreement etc.).

As a developing country, there will always be a certain amount of corruption to grease the wheels of development, and there will always be a certain amount of inflation because greed and fear are built-in behavioural mechanisms in humans.

Greed makes entrepreneurs charge more and the charges and consequent changes in prices are what are reflected in the inflation rate. This is why inflation can never be zero and as such no policy should target zero inflation.

With regard to climate change, the majority of the Zambian people do not have access to the technology to live by without endangering the climate.

The country cannot simply adopt policies of de-

veloped countries without consideration of its people who have no access to lifestyles of developed nations.

This is the realistic approach for our country, not that we don’t believe in the negative effects of climate change.

These three realities, low level corruption, non-zero inflation rates, and paying less attention to climate change, seem to constitute the rite of passage not only for our country but for all other developing countries.

The need to re-examine things we have been taught or told extends to decisions we make across the economic, social, and political spectrum. For example, the training of accountants and the introduction of VAT as a taxation system in Zambia.

Just because Zambian accountants are trained under the British system doesn’t mean we have to use a British taxation system even when that system doesn’t make much economic sense for our country.

At this stage in the life of our country we have enough fellows in the accounting bodies (CIMA and ACCA), to PROTECT

Zambian professionals must say something if they see something.

Perhaps parliament should enact a whistle blower legal framework within which whistle blowers would be protected.

design and develop training and certification for accountants locally in Zambia, and to design and implement a tax system that logically aligns with the realities of the Zambian economy.

The country shouldn’t be spending foreign exchange on training such accountants anymore. We should look again at what used to be the Zambia Diploma in Accountancy, our own local accounting qualification, and enhance it to an international level.

After all, lawyers and medical doctors are trained and qualified locally (unless one

can argue, convincingly, that our learned friends are not, after-all, learned enough, or that our doctors are borderline if not absolute quacks).

Responsibility of professional Zambians In addition, accountants, like all professional Zambians, must have a national interest in their practice and not take part in designing and implementing schemes that defraud the Zambian people of tax revenue (estimated at over $500 million per year, (Alexander Readhead, 2016; Transfer Pricing in the Mining Sector in Zambia)).

For example, the price transfer scheme recently found unconstitutional by the Tax Appeals Tribunal and Supreme Court in two landmark cases (Nestle Zambia v Zambia Revenue Authority (March 2019) and Zambia Revenue Authority v Glencore Mopani Copper Mines (May, 2020)) defrauded the Zambian people out of more than K250 million.

Zambian professionals must say something if they see something. Perhaps parliament should enact a whistle blower legal framework within which whistle blowers would be protected.

The same expectations extend to lawyers, teachers, doctors, law enforcement, civil servants, and other professions.

The Future of Education We need not over emphasise the obvious need of investment into primary and secondary school infrastructure. More danger lies in the proliferation of private schools, colleges, universities whose facilities, curriculum, and teacher qualifications may be, comparatively, below the standards set by the government and expected by the paying public. Since the brightness of the future of our country is dependent on the quality and quantity of economists, scientists, lawyers, doctors, teachers etc., fine tuning our education system is necessary to align it with the socio-economic and political visioning and expectations of our country.

To guide the alignment, the question we need to ask ourselves is what is the purpose of our education system? If the purpose is to educate all Zambians and leave no child behind, at least up

The Arcades Fly Over Bridge is intended to decongest traffic at the Intersection of Great East, Thabo Mbeki and Katima Mulilo roads.

to secondary school, as the case is in the United States of America, then we must remove all the examinations that prevent students from progressing all the way to the 12th grade.

But if the purpose is to educate only those that can pass exams, and leave everybody else behind, as the current policy is, then we probably need to make the exams more stringent so that only top students go through our education system.

But there is really no national advantage in leaving behind a large portion of young boys and girls just because, for many reasons, they couldn’t pass the Grade 7 exam.

Referencing the theory of multiple intelligences, these students who fail at Grade 7

of our country.

We may also need to de-emphasise university education and instead advise those who cannot be accepted into universities that alternative education is just as important.

For example, Zambia has a shortage of trained and well qualified artisans. An individual can equally make a good living as an electrician, a bricklayer, a baker, a tailor, a pest control specialist, a mortuary and graveyard entrepreneur, a carpenter, a welder and so many more.

The future of Zambia will depend on all professions and educational backgrounds, not just on university graduates.

The Future Society The Zambian society, like

As the population grows these groups of disadvantaged Zambians will also grow in size and will lead to increased disparities between say, the rich and the poor or the haves versus the have-nots.

or Grade 9 are intelligent in other aspects and the nation through the education system must seek to harness those intelligences so that they too can contribute to achieving a brighter future

all societies, has been and continues to be dynamic in alignment with mostly western ideology and culture while traditional and cultural aspects of the society have been diminishing due to

weakening attachment.

As the society shifts towards westernisation, the bonds of care for each other will continue to weaken.

Many people, especially the orphaned, the disabled, the widowed who depended on their dead spouses, the old, and generally the poor, risk being left behind during this transition to a society that emphasises individuality and values success and rewards based on individual effort.

As the population grows these groups of disadvantaged Zambians will also grow in size and will lead to increased disparities between say, the rich and the poor or the haves versus the have-nots.

Many disadvantaged Zambians will be left behind unless the government and society ensures support systems to bring them along and make their lives meaningful and worthy.

Forward looking health, economic, and social systems focused on supporting this group of Zambians will include pension systems that are designed to pay out the contributing retirees so they don’t fall into poverty, homelessness and eventually depression and become a health cost to the nation.

Zambia will also need to enact laws that ensures that these groups of Zambians have equal access to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and even buildings.

It is acknowledged that today these laws that address one or two of these aspects may be in existence in some form. But these laws will need to be expanded in detail, scope, domain, and enforcement to give comfort to these Zambians that they will be taken care of in their time of need.
