ALL MUST BACK KATANGA DEPUTY Inspector General of Police (Operations) Charity Katanga has done well to assure the public that the Police Service will ensure that there is peace during this year’s general elections.

The Police Service has often been accused of being soft on the ruling Patriotic Front while being harsh on the opposition parties.

This is quite debatable for it could be due to misconceptions that the various stakeholders have of the police.

It is a fact that the opposition regard the police as being their “enemy” because they are not in government. It is always a question of “them versus us.”

They fail to appreciate that the police are there merely to enforce the law and ensure that there is order in the manner that the political parties carry out their activities.

When she paid a courtesy call on Central Province Minister Sydney Mushanga in Kabwe on Tuesday, Ms Katanga mentioned that the police would also engage political parties in the run up to the August 12 general elections.

This is a welcome move as holding peaceful elections is not a preserve of the government and the police.

It is also incumbent upon the various political parties that they regard themselves as key stakeholders in the electoral process.

If any political cadres choose to be violent during the campaigns, then they cannot blame anyone for the violence that could break out, and they found themselves being locked up.

Police and the political parties taking part in the elections must regard themselves as a team working towards a common goal.

We hope none of the political parties will misinterpret Ms Katanga’s statement that, “We will not entertain political violence before, during and after the general elections,” as being targeted at them.

This warning applies to all actors across the political divide.

If it is Patriotic Front cadres who want to break the law, then they will be asking for trouble and should not expect the police to turn their backs on them.

As we have stated before, Zambia has a proud record of holding peaceful general and by-elections. We are not saying there have not been a few ugly incidents here and there.

But they have been peaceful such that people have been able to go about their daily chores without hindrance.

In Kabwe, Ms Katanga assured that the service was ready to police the 2021 general elections in the same way they had done in the past elections.

“We policed the 2011 general elections, we also policed the 2015 general elections and in 2016.

We will again police the 2021 general elections.

“I want to assure you that we will work as a team to ensure that political violence is not entertained,” she said.

President Edgar Lungu when delivering his state of the nation speech in Parliament last week stressed the government’s determination to ensure free and violence-free elections.

We challenge all the political players to pledge to uphold peace during and after the elections.

That they must allow the electorate to elect who they want to hold the reins of power and respect their decision.

PURSUING JUSTICE AND EQUITY WITH INTERGRITY

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU THE exorbitant prices of cement being witnessed countrywide are mainly as a result of illegal price fixing by a cartel bent on sabotaging the construction sector, the Daily Nation has learnt.

The cartel has incorporated some suppliers of raw materials such as gypsum who are quoting in dollars and demanding payment in dollars.

And the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has confirmed that its investigation into the sudden cement price increase was centred on ascertaining possibilities of the cartel being behind rising cement prices.

CCPC executive director,

IT’S SABOTAGE? … Cartel fixing ‘exorbitant’ prices of cement

Chilufya Sampa said in an interview that the cement industry was marred by cartels and that they had been looking into that.

Mr Sampa however said the CCPC was investigating possibilities of the cartel being behind the exorbitant prices of cement being witnessed on the market.

He said in as much as there were other economic

fundamentals that could trigger an increase in cement prices, tactics of the cartel cannot be overlooked.

“There are cartels in the pricing of cement, we have been looking at that,” Mr Sampa said.

Investigations have however revealed that a cartel which includes some foreign owners of cement firms were behind the sabotage. Cement prices have

70.7kg Kansanshi gold London-bound

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU OVER 708.7kg of London London good delivery gold is expected to be bought from Kansanshi Copper Mines this year as the Bank of Zambia indicated that this commodity is a critical component on international reserves.

Zambia’s gross international reserved declined by US$117.7 million to US$1.2 billion equivalent to 2.4 months of import cover at end of December 2020.

The central banked remains committed to buy more gold deposits to enhance the country’s reserves, says Bank of Zambia Governor (BoZ), Christopher Mvunga.

PF slams UPND convention

By NATION REPORTER UPND is rotten to the core that not even a convention can provide its cure, the Patriotic Front has charged.

PF media director Sunday Chanda said the just ended UPND convention was called to accomplish the installing of the UPND leader, Mr Hakainde Hichilema as life president for his party and launder his dictatorial tendencies.

Mr Chanda questioned how it could be that there had been no single member in UPND from 2006 to 2021 who has had interest to challenge Mr. Hichilema.

Mr Chanda said UPND had made history by being the only party that comes out of a convention without a vice president.

“The second objective for holding a semblance of a convention was to hoodwink the unsuspecting public that UPND had superficially gotten rid of its tribal and regional jacket.

“We wish to remind the general public that nothing has changed about the UPND following the sham of a convention. All things have remained the same, Mr. Hichilema’s life presidency continues and the tribal and regional DNA, although camouflaged, has been deepened more than ever before,” he said.

Mr Mvunga said gold purchasing would at some point become a significant component of the international reserves.

He said yesterday at a press briefing that the current scenario was the BoZ had bought 47 kilogrammes of dore gold from Zambia Gold Company.

“We are also looking at in terms of purchasing from Kansanshi Copper Mines, our estimates is that we will purchase over 25, 000 ounces of London good delivery gold this year.

“Our projections is to buy 21, 000 ounces of dore gold with the minimum of 88 percent of purity from the Zambia Gold Company,” Mr Mvunga said.

He also said: “we have just kicked off this process, we will ramp it up as we go along and at some point it will become a significant component of our reserves. So the programme is ongoing and we are not abandoning it.”

BoZ Deputy Governor for Operations, Francis Chipimo, said the central bank would buy more gold from Kansanshi Mines before the end of the month.

Dr Chipimo also explained that the purchase of gold has just begun, and will go on for a long time. In December last year, the central bank signed a Gold Purchase Agreement with Kansanshi Mining PLC, a subsidiary of First Quantum Minerals.

No Covid funds misappropriated - minister

By NOEL IYOMBWA MINISTER of Health Jonas Chanda has told parliament that there are no Covid-19 funds that have been misappropriated because there were just pledges.

Dr Chanda said that the alleged over K6 billion were just pledges and commitments by cooperating partners as stated in the Auditor General’s report of July 31, 2020.

He was responding to Kalabo Central Member of Parliament Chinga Miyutu who wanted to know whether the misappropriation of over K6.3 billion Covid-19 funds will not hamper the fight against the pandemic; what urgent measures are being taken to avert further misappropriation of Covid-19 funds, which may lead to a spike in the number of deaths from the pandemic.

Mr Miyutu also wanted to know whether there are any officers who have been arrested for misappropriating the funds.

Dr Chanda that the alleged figure arose from pledges and commitments by cooperating partners which were not cash paid directly to the ministry but through other agencies.

He however said that the matter is under the Parliamentary Accounts

surged to about K140 per bag from K70 in mid last year.

Cement distributors talked to said that they only increased prices after being notified by producers that they were increasing prices at their factories.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry is today expected to address the issue of price increments in the country.

Presiden Lungu to pay medical bills for Chama Musonda PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has pledged to meet the medical requirements for a Kabwe based woman, Chama Musonda, who has been diagnosed with lung cancer.

According to his Facebook page, President Lungu said he was deeply moved after coming across the pictures of the Kabwe based young lady on social media.

President Lungu said the fight against the disease should not be left to Ms Musonda alone but everyone should get involved.

He has since implored Zambians to put Ms. Musonda in prayers as she fights the disease.

President Lungu has also thanked everyone who took time to share her post widely on various social media platforms.

Ms Musonda is currently in a hospice in Kabwe, Central Province.

And Ms. Musonda has thanked President Lungu for coming to her aid.

Kambwili still sick, court told Dr Chanda

Committee and a report will be released.

He said that the government through the Auditor General’s office established that corporate partners made commitments and pledges amounting to over K6 billion.

Dr Chanda however stated that the Ministry of Finance could not disclose how much was received because it did not have the information.

The minister told parliament that pledges were not coming in cash to the Ministry of Health, but channeled to other agencies.

He said that a forensic audit of the matter would be transparent as assured by President Edgar Lungu.

By CHARLES MUSONDA AILING National Democratic Congress (NDC) leader Chishimba Kambwili has again failed to appear in the Lusaka Magistrates’ Court to open his defence in the matter he has been found with a case to answer for defamation of the President.

If convicted Kambwili faces up to three years imprisonment.

Kambwili was on Monday scheduled to open his defence before Magistrate Felix Kaoma in a case he has been charged with defamation of the President for accusing Lusaka business executive Valden Findlay of using the Presidential jet to courier drugs.

Last November, Mr. Kaoma placed Kambwili on his defence after finding that the prosecution had laid sufficient evidence establishing a prima facie case against the NDC leader.

‘MY LIFE IS IN DANGER’ From Page 1

Ms Nevia Micheelo Hatembo was attacked around 23:00 hours on Saturday 13, February 2021 together with her children in their home whilst her husband was away by masked men.

She was later hospitalized at Macha hospital and went into hiding upon being discharged.

The Daily Nation spoke to her from her hiding place where she asked that government offer her family protection because she fears she might be killed.

“I told him (husband) that I have left home because I may be killed…my plea to the government is…. I’m living in fear and I need to live freely, so I’m asking for government’s protection and security,” she said Mrs Hatembo’s husband, Milton and his, sister, Pheluna Hatembo had sued UPND leader, Hakainde Hichilema for allegedly illegally occupying their 2, 000 hectare farm in Kalomo.

Mr Hatembo’s family was viciously attacked on Saturday night at their home in Choma, and were hospitalised at Macha Hospital before going in hiding have appealed for

Government protection.

Prior to the attack, five unidentified men in the company of a teacher only identified as Mr Simoonga visited her home a week earlier purporting to be health workers.

After being dragged out of bed on the fateful day and being brutally beaten, the attackers fled.

Footprints showed that they had crossed over into Chief Monze's chiefdom in Monze.

A Daily Nation team which visited Choma found that Mr Milton Hatembo, the man who sued Mr Hichilema and his wife were not at their home.

Mr Allan Hachikosole, the cousin to Mr Hatembo said the two were scared and in hiding.

And Economic and Equity Party (EEP) president Chilufya Tayali has said there is urgent need for Government to step in and protect the Hatembos family who are now vulnerable to attacks by those want to silence them over the controversial Kalomo’s Farm 1924, opposition.

In an interview, Mr Tayali said it was clear that the lives of the defenseless Hatembo family was in danger and needed government protection.

Police not aware of attack on Choma family

By NATION REPORTER POLICE are not aware of the attack on the Kalomo woman who was dragged out of bed in the dead of night and beaten along with her children by masked men in Choma.

Police spokesperson, Esther Katongo said yesterday that she had no official in-

formation on the attack other than what was on social media.

This is in the matter where two people who sued UPND president Hakainde Hichilema for illegally occupying their 2, 000 hectare farm in Kalomo were viciously attacked on Saturday night at their home in Choma, hospitalised at Macha Hospital and went in hiding.

ZAMRA challenged over secret recalls of medical supplies

By PETER SICHALI THE Zambia Medicine Regulatory Authority (ZAMRA) should suspend 17 licences of other companies for supplying defective and expired drugs, Lusaka lawyer Tutwa Ngulube has demanded.

Mr Ngulube said the Ministry of Health and regulatory authorities should not be segregative when dealing with companies that supply defective medical items.

He questioned why ZAMRA was targeting HoneyBee Pharmacy Limited when there were several firms whose medical products had been recalled.

Mr Ngulube said some of the suppliers had all the products they supplied recalled but were not subjects of discussion by ZAMRA. "Why is the Minister of Health and ZAMRA not con-

cerned that Medical Stores has a lot of expired drugs, for how long are they going to keep the secrets," Mr Ngulube said.

Mr Ngulube said ZAMRA should suspend or cancel licences of all the 17 companies whose products have been recalled. He said there were some companies that have failed to provide medical supplies after being paid but have continued operating without any penalties.

Mr Ngulube said there were many products that have been recalled but their licences have not been revoked.

"There are 17 companies that have supplied defective drugs and medical supplies," he said.

Mr Ngulube said the Ministry of Health and ZAMRA should deal with erring companies firmly and fairly without segregation.

ZAMBIA, IMF TALKS ON COURSE

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

Z

AMBIA’S discussions with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for an extended credit facility (ECF) are on course.

The ongoing virtual meetings started on February 11 and will end on March 3, says Bank of Zambia (BoZ) Governor, Christopher Mvunga.

Mr Mvunga said at a press briefing in Lusaka yesterday that an announcement regarding the outcome of the meeting would be made

once they were over.

“We are having cordial discussions with them (IMF).

They (virtual meetings) are ongoing and at this point it will be premature to make any pronouncements.

“All I can say is that the discussions are going on accordingly and at an opportune time an announcement will be made once these discussions are concluded,” Mr Mvunga said.

Under the ECF, member countries agree to implement a set of policies that

will help them make progress towards a stable and sustainable macroeconomic position over the medium term.

On January 22 this year, Secretary to the Treasury Fredson Yamba said the meeting comes after a request by Government last November for a formal programme and a visit by an IMF team in December.

Mr Yamba said in a statement that the programme discussions would centre on Government’s objectives

to attain fiscal and debt sustainability and on key pillars in the country’s economic recovery programme.

The talks, Mr Yamba said, would also focus on the need to scale up social protection programs and undertake the much-needed reforms in the agriculture and energy sectors.

Zambia is seeking a financing agreement with the international lender to tackle its battered economy, which is getting worse due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

By NATION REPORTER THE Ministry of Health has finalised a memo to Cabinet outlining recommendations on the Covid-19 vaccines and seeking approval in principle for acquisition and deployment, the minister, Dr Jonas Chanda has said.

Dr Chanda reiterated the ministry’s commitment to provide a safe and efficacious vaccine for deployment.

“We will keep you abreast on this developing situation,” he said in a statement.

Dr. Chanda said the Covid-19 vaccine will be a Government programme and that very soon it will be tabled before Cabinet.

“I am not on the list because I decided not to apply for any position and this is my personal decision,” he said.

The UPND has unveiled its newly elected NMC members.

This follows a “controversial” electoral process that saw 209 participants battle it out for the available 70 slots from the available 157, 924 votes.

The elections have seen 20 women and 50 men being elected to the highest deci-

sion-making organ of the party.

The UPND becomes the first political party to successfully conduct intra-party elections as a requirement by Article 60 of the Republican Constitution that provides for all political parties to hold regular internal elections.

Chairperson of the electoral commission, Judith Mulenga of CiSCA, one of the civil society organisations which conducted the elections on behalf of the party announced the results at the UPND secretariat in Lusaka.

This is a matter where Norway–based Tanzanian Uziel Bashire, his cousin Zuberi Bigawa and Mr Loyana, a senior accountant at the Minis-

The trio want a declaration that the Notice issued pursuant to the ACC (Disposal of Recovered Property) Regulations, 2004 directed to Mr Loyana and certain other individuals regarding Mr Bashire’s

They seek a declaration that the arbitrary seizure and continuation of holding on of the properties by ACC despite the claim made by the rightful owner is unlawful and illegal.

Govt acts on Police transport hitches

By KETRA KALUNGA GOVERNMENT has in preparation for the forthcoming general elections procured vehicles for the Zambia Police Service to ease their movements before and after the polls.

Deputy Inspector General of Police, Charity Katanga disclosed that soon all provinces would receive a fleet of vehicles to cushion some of the operational challenges.

Ms Katanga said this in response to Central Province Minister, Sydney Mushanga who raised concern on the transport challenges that police officers faced in the province when she paid a courtesy call on him at his office on Tuesday.

Ms Katanga said police officers needed utility vehicles to facilitate movements as the country prepares for the general elections.

“The budget was done for utility vehicles, we budgeted for all provinces, not only for central division but other divisions because we prepared for 2021 general elections,” Ms Katanga said.

“So soon, the provinces are going to get a fleet of vehicles to just cushion some of the operation challenges that they are having,” she said.

And Ms Katanga disclosed that hard working officers would soon be promoted once the challenge with identification numbers is resolved.

She explained that there has been a challenge with identification numbers which officers are supposed to occupy but assured that the government was looking into the matter.

“We want to send a message of hope to our officers that this will soon be looked into so that those that are well deserving are motivated because a demotivated police officer will not put in his best, so this will soon be a thing of the past,” she said.

Mr Mushanga appealed that officers who have served the nation diligently be promoted.

Ms Katanga was on the tour of Central Province to appreciate the operational challenges that officers faced in their operations.

N last week’s edition, we discussed the role of the banking sector in combating money laundering and we also briefly discussed how the banking sector works in close collaboration with the Financial Intelligence Centre in achieving this.

This week, we delve deeper in the conversation on money laundering and its effects on a country’s economy, as well as the risk it poses to the banking sector.

In his paper: The Role of the Banking Sector in Combating Money Laundering, former Bank of Zambia Governor-Dr. Caleb Fundanga (2003) explains that money laundering poses effects on a country’s economic, political, and social structures, and has effects on the financial systems.

He identified the following as some of the effects of money laundering: The undermining of legitimate private sector efforts. Money launderers use front companies, to disguise the proceeds of illicit activities and in the process hide the ill-gotten gains. These companies have access to substantial illicit funds, therefore allowing them to subsidise the from company and offer its products and services at levels below market rates. Because they can afford to quote prices below the production cost, they tend to have competitive advantage over business entities that source their funding from financial markets. This unfair competitive edge makes disadvantages competition for legitimate businesses against these front companies, and ultimately

Eskom gets green light to hike tariffs by over 15pc

7 / Daily Nation, Thursday 18 February, 2021

HIGHER TAXES, JOB CUTS AS IMF RETURNS NAIROBI - Kenya has entered a multibillion deal with the International Monetary Fund aimed at responding to the next phase of Covid-19 and reducing debt levels.

The three-year US$2.4 billion loan deal follows an assessment by the IMF team led by Mary Goodman between December and February 4.

“Kenyan authorities and the IMF mission team have reached agreement on economic and structural policies that would underpin a 38-month programme under the Extended Fund Facility and Extended Credit Facility arrangements for about US$2.4 billion.

“The staff-level agreement is subject to IMF management approval and Executive Board consideration, which is expected in the coming weeks,” he said adding that the programme will support the next phase of the country’s Covid-19 response and the authorities’ plans for a strong multi-year effort to stabilise and begin reducing debt levels relative to GDP, laying the ground for durable and inclusive growth over the years to come.

Kenya was hard hit at the onset of the Covid-19 crisis, but

growth has been recovering since mid-2020 and heading into 2021. The authorities’ forceful early actions cushioned the pandemic’s economic impact, and real GDP growth is projected to have contracted by just -0.1 per cent in 2020.

Inflation remained within the central bank’s target band, reaching 5.7 percent in January, while financial sector vulnerabilities have been contained and the banking system remains well capitalised overall.

The external sector proved resilient against the backdrop of the shock, with horticultural exports and remittances performing well. The reopening of schools and removal of pandemic containment measures are expected to underpin a growth rebound to 7.6 percent in 2021, even as some sectors of the economy face continuing headwinds.

The Kenyan authorities have begun to roll back some of their extraordinary economic support measures.

With the pickup in activity, the earlier temporary personal and corporate income tax cuts, as well as the reduced VAT rate, were discontinued at

To maintain the cushion for the low-income earners and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises, the Authorities did not reverse the personal relief on income tax and the lower turnover tax (one percent) for small businesses introduced in April 2020.

Many households and businesses continue to benefit from the temporary debt relief agreements reached with their banks, and borrowers accounting for a total of 54.2

R1.2bn tourism transformation fund to be rolled-out ‘with transparency and accountability’ JOHANNESBURG - While implementing the new Tourism Equity Fund, the Department of Tourism undertakes to continuously learn lessons and respond to any irregularities and challenges timeously by ensuring transparency, accountability and sustainability, Tourism Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane said on Tuesday.

She was part of a delegation briefing Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Tourism on the new R1.2 billion fund announced

by President Cyril Ramaphosa in January.

The Small Enterprise Finance Agency (Sefa), which will manage the fund on behalf of the department, made presentations to the committee as well.

The minister cleared up any confusion which might exist about the aim of the Tourism Equity Fund.

“This fund is not a relief fund.

This is a transformational fund, an equity fund that manages to assist us with transformation in the tourism industry. Reports done in 2015 and 2018 indicate that there was a regression in transformation in the

JOHANNESBURG – South Africa is set to see electricity prices rise sharply following protracted legal wrangling between Eskom and the regulator.

In a judgment dated February 15, 2021, the Gauteng High Court ruled that R10 billion should be added to Eskom’s allowable revenue in the 2021/22 financial year.

Additionally, Eskom can increase tariffs by nearly 16 percent.

According to the order by Justice Joseph Raulinga, 5.44c/KWh can be added to the average standard tariff. Eskom customers will therefore pay 132.2c/kWh, which amounts to an increase of 15.6 percent.

Each party was ordered to pay their own costs.

The latest ruling follows Eskom’s court application to recover R23 billion in the 2021/22 financial year. A High Court judgment in July last year ruled in the state-owned power company’s favour. On Tuesday afternoon, Nersa said the court order had come on the back of discussions and an agreement between itself and Eskom. But, it added, it would still proceed with an appeal that is already in motion at the Supreme Court of Appeal. Eskom said it would issue a statement in due course.

industry,” she said.

“Other reports show that black women remain the face of poverty in SA and will continue to remain that and even become worse off with, no prospects of getting out of poverty unless government intervenes.”

The aim of the fund is to promote the participation of 51 percent black-owned enterprises within the tourism industry in a commercially viable and sustainable way.

Beneficiaries will include enterprises in rural and township areas to promote the alleviation of poverty, inequality, and growth of black-controlled tourism enterprises.

The fund comprises grant funding and debt financing. Initial seed funding amounting to R77 million was authorised for this financial year (2020/21) after approval by National Treasury.

Thereafter, the Department of Tourism will contribute equal amounts of R180 million per year for three years starting in the 2021/22 financial year, amounting to a total of R540 million for grant funding and low-interest loans. – FIN24.

percent of loans had entered such rescheduling agreements by end-2020.

The authorities’ decision to pause fiscal adjustment this year will allow accommodating health, social, and development spending to support the recovery, complemented by accommodative monetary policy.

The mission team agreed with the authorities on a programme to support the next phase of their Covid-19 response. – THE STANDARD, Kenya.

ADDIS ABABA - Democratic Republic of Congo’s ambassador to Ethiopia and the African Union, Jean Le’on Ngandu Ilunga has hinted that construction on the Inga 3 hydro-power project could start by the end of the year.

“We believe in the coming month we will see concrete steps towards implementation. Towards the end of this year, some concrete steps will be seen on the ground,” he said in response to a question by News24 during an online seminar organised by the Institute for Security Studies.

DRC President Felix Tshisekedi has stated Inga as one of the infrastructure projects that the country would like to push during its year as African Union chair.

Tshisekedi took over from President Cyril Ramaphosa last weekend. “The president of the DRC is very much determined to have it take off the ground,” Ilunga said.

He added that the project had already seen an eighyear delay as financiers and technicians were weighing the best options.

One of the options was to build the project in three phases until it reached its full power capacity of 4, 500 megawatt, but some believed this was not viable.

South Africa signed a memorandum of agreement with the DRC about the project in 2013, and it was expected to add 2, 500 megawatts (about five percent) to South Africa’s energy mix by 2030.

But if construction does not start by 2023, this agreement will lapse unless the parties agree to extend it.

Critics have warned that the project was risky and expensive to South Africa, and also said Eskom would not be able to afford the construction of 2, 000km of power lines to the Inga Dam. – NEWS24.

AfDB unlocks US$2bn loans for women SMEs HARARE – The African Development Bank (AfDB) through its ’Affirmative Finance Action for Women in Africa (AFAWA) initiative has partnered with the African Guarantee Fund to unlock between US$1.3 billion and US$2 billion in loans for the continent’s women-owned Small to Medium Enterprises.

AfDB said the move signals the launch of AFAWA’s Guarantee for Growth (G4G) programme, which seeks to make available up to US$3 billion in financing for women entrepreneurs through de-risking and technical assistance measures.

“The AfDB’s Affirmative Finance Action for Women in Africa (AFAWA) programme has agreed a partnership with the African Guarantee Fund (AGF) to unlock US$1.3 to US$2 billion in loans to women-owned small and medium-sized enterprises in Africa, by working with financial institutions to enhance their ability to lend to women,” said the regional financial institution.

Already, financial institutions in countries such as Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda have signed on to the programme.

As the implementing partner of AFAWA’s G4G programme, the bank said it was already observing an increased appetite from banks for the above innovative product that seeks to support women entrepreneurs.

“We have recently signed agreements with leading banks on the continent who are keen to increase their women SMEs portfolio. “AGF has always been cognisant of the importance of supporting women SMEs to enable them fully

play their role as drivers of economic growth.

“We are glad the momentum is increasing and that banks are now willing to take on this particular business segment,” AfDB quoted African Guarantee Fund group chief executive officer Jules Ngankam as saying.

G4G, which receives support from the Group of Seven (G7) countries as well as the Netherlands and Sweden, has three pillars: boosting access to finance, providing technical assistance to financial institutions and women business owners; and improving the enabling environment for women’s SMEs. AfDB director of financial service sector development Stefan Nalletambly said the signing of the AFAWA Guarantee for Growth programme with AGF is a critical milestone for the bank to successfully deploy on-the-ground financing instruments better suited to addressing financing and training needs of women-owned SMEs in Africa for the growth and development of their businesses.

Dear Editor, UNITED for Better Zambia (UBZ) president Hector Soondo is calling for Zambians to vote wisely and not experiment the governing board.

As Zambia is heading towards the August 12 general elections this year, we the UBZ party is making an appeal to citizens to vote wisely.

Trial and error should not be the case. Zambians should not be cheated that the change of government of any kind will change this nation but instead things will be worse.

We have seen how the PF regime has tried to improve this nation by implementing many projects to better the face of this nation.

Today as we speak, we can see roads, schools, hospitals and many other more things of development that PF has brought to this nation.

What PF started was to change the face of the country so that we can have modern development which can put this country on the world map.

Today, Zambia looks good like other countries compared to the way it was.

During 2013, 2014, the late President Michael Chilufya Sata called and appealed to Zambians to tighten up the belts has he called for the building of this nation by infrastructure development.

Zambians agreed with Mr Sata to build this nation even after he told them that he will put more money in their pockets.

We all know that it not easy to keep money in the pocket as you are building the future, during that time the fact is that people spend more than the income.

As UBZ we want to remind Zambians that time is now to remember the few things that PF has done.

An example is people of Western Province from Mongu to Kalabo. It took two weeks to travel from Mongu to Kalabo but today with the modern road it’s only 25 minutes movement which is a plus to the nation’s development and I don’t see the reason people are still fighting such development.

As UBZ after a long meeting with the Republic President on national matters, we concluded that PF has almost concluded its first promise of creating infrastructure and now it is starting the second wave of job creation and more money in people’s pockets.

The PF government with the adoption of UBZ manifesto and other manifestoes of progressive political parties will be at work to better the lives of citizens.

If PF as a Government has managed to build this nation what will make them to fail to create employment just like other political parties are saying because for them they have already what it takes to implement.

Therefore as UBZ, we are calling on Zambians to vote wisely, you can’t count on the bird which is in the sky and not the one you have in your hands.

HECTOR SOONDO, United for Better Zambia.

Anger management can avert spousal killing Dear Editor,

MALPRACTICES IN THE CONDUCT OF THE UPND CONVENTION - PART THREE Dear Editor, WE have consistently pointed at the pitfalls in the eleventh hour which seemingly has ushered a new era of autocracy in the UPND presidency.

We feel that if UPND was a popular organisation, there is no way the position of its presidency would have gone unopposed, it would have been up for grabs.

We are now convinced that the UPND had created the environment to legitimise unopposed candidacy way before by expelling key potential contenders such as the two former vice presidents; Mr Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba and Dr Canisius Banda.

The two were hounded out from the party and we believe it could be that they had the numbers on their side to terminate the life presidency of the five-time losing presidential candidate, Mr Hakainde Hichilema.

Having Mr Hichilema going as an unopposed candidate raises two possibilities; either the party has stunted growth or the party has personalised the top job to a single individual

who rose to the leadership with hands tainted with tribalism, violence and intimidation of the opponents.

By embracing processes which are alien to the tenets of our cherished democratic principles, Mr Hichilema has rigged its convention, its processions are highly trickery as he has ushered in the National Management Committee which is answerable to him and not to the general membership.

With such organisational discrepancy, it is very likely that if elected Republican President, his primary task evidently is likely to weaken the institutions of government and make them amenable to him.

His conduct as UPND President is not consistent with his promise to run an accountable government.

For instance, the recent revelations that Mr Hichilema will have the sole prerogative about 30 members (proportionally 30 percent (to be nominated in the national management committee who will rank parri passu with elected members is evident that he has despotic powers at the helm of the party.

It is inappropriate in comparison with the practice of the Republican President to nominate eight members of Parliament (equivalent to the eight percent composition of the plenary body of Parliament).

On the other hand, we note that the convention was held on a Sunday and this is the apprehension of business to the Sunday church goers.

They have also clearly shown that their membership is mostly by those from the named religious grouping by holding on the day that is convenient to them.

This is a team of blunt politically dishonest people who have no shame putting it in the faces of the people that it doesn’t matter how they get to the top as long as one Mr Hichilema is the subject.

This is a classic political manouvre that has nailed them to a tree of political defeat.

As regards Mr Hichilema going unopposed, it is our considered view that this is evident that the UPND has remained unattractive to the people of Zambia.

MARVIN CHANDA MBERI, Lusaka.

ZAMBIA has in the recent past been recording high incidences of spousal killings. Spousal kilning is a scenario where spouses kill each other.

Spousal killing also includes lovers killing each other. The reasons giving rise to spousal killing include infidelity, petty jealousy and misunderstanding, among others.

It is evident that there could be misunderstanding in intimate relationships quite all right. This is normal. It becomes a problem when couples fail to resolve their marital differences.

People contemplating marriage must undergo premarital counselling. The premarital counselling sessions can be provided by the church leaders and relatives of the bride and the groom. This is important in that it prepares the potential couple on how best to resolve some problems.

Guns, knives and iron bars, among others have been used in spousal killings in the recent past.

This is a worrying scenario and surely amicable solutions must be found to deal with the problem.

There have been incidences where the husband shot dead his wife and vice versa because of infidelity. Infidelity arises in a situation where the husband flirts with another woman. It can also involve the wife flirting with another man.

It has been shown that some people resort to killing their spouses and lovers because of anger. In this regard, there is need to manage anger which can subsequently result in temperament. When a person loses his temper, he or she will do a nasty thing like murdering someone.

One thing worth mentioning here is that there are disappointments in intimate relationships. On this score, it is wise to accept what has transpired and move on with life.

Suffice to say, killing your lover or spouse is not the solution.

ELEMIYA PHIRI, Lusaka.

BoZ ACTS TO REDUCE INFLATION

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

TO contain the continued rising inflation rate, the Bank of Zambia (BoZ) has adjusted upwards the benchmark for pricing money in the market by 50 basis points for the next three months.

The decision to raise the monetary policy rate to 8.5 percent from eight percent where the central bank kept it for six months, is also meant to restore macroeconomic fundamentals.

The annual Inflation rate for January 2021 stood at 21.5 percent.

Creating a balance and supporting economic recovery was delicate, complex and difficult for the Monetary Policy Rate Committee, says BoZ Governor, Christopher Mvunga.

Mr Mvunga said the economy had been contracting and needed to recover especially from the inflation pressure.

Mr Mvunga stressed that the central bank stood ready to tighten the policy rate should the conditions in the market not change.

Meanwhile, Mr Mvunga said fiscal pressures remained high as revenue fell due to the Covid-19 shock amid rising expenditure especially on agricultural inputs, health and clearance of arrears.

"Fiscal consolidation remains challenging given the significant uncertainty about the evolution of escalating Covid-19 infections and the debt restructuring process.

"Narrowing the fiscal deficit by ramping up revenue whilst rationing expenditure and restructuring of Government debt remain critical to restoring fiscal and macroeconomic stability," Mr Mvunga said.

GIVE US CONTRACTS, LOCALS CRY TO MOH

By CHARLES MUSONDA A LOCAL association has appealed to the Ministry of Health to give priority to local suppliers and contractors in the awarding of tenders as opposed to always preferring foreign entities.

In an interview in Lusaka yesterday, Cleaners Association of Zambia (CAZ) president Lawrence Makumbi said recent events at the ministry have proved that some foreign companies do not care about people’s health and are only interested in money.

Mr. Makumbi said going forward, the CAZ will be grateful if priority is given to local suppliers and contractors in the procurement of goods, services and equipment because there are even laws and statutory instruments that give preference to Zambians to supply a number of goods and services.

He called for implementation of the said SIs unlike the way they had been ignored in the past. He said procurement of goods, equipment and other services has for a long time been in the hands of foreigners who were given an open door policy to sell their commodities to the ministry.

He said the CAZ has been vindicated by the recent events at the ministry because the association has been calling for procurement of goods and services from local suppliers.

4 churches closed for ‘sinning’ against Covid-19 FOUR churches in Kapiri Mposhi have had their permits revoked for abrogating Covid-19 health guidelines.

Meanwhile, Kapiri Mposhi has recorded 447 cumulative positive Coronavirus cases with nine deaths since the outbreak of the pandemic.

The churches had their permits revoked for failure by congregants to wear face masks, absence of hand washing facilities at the church premises and lack of physical distancing.

Kapiri Mposhi Town Council revoked gathering permits.

During an ad-hoc Epidemic Preparedness Committee meeting, Council Health Inspector, Rabby Mwansa said the four churches were among 31 inspected on observance of Covid-19 health measures recently.

Mr Mwansa said that 21 out of 31 churches inspected were also cautioned for not fully observing health measures.

He said the affected churches would only be allowed to congregate after meeting the prescribed health measures to prevent the spread of Coronavirus.

“To increase and strengthen compliance to Covid-19 preventive measures the council has stepped up inspection of public places such as churches, markets, shops and schools and we will close any public place found not adhering to health measures,” Mr Mwansa said.

The district has recorded 447 cumulative positive Coronavirus virus cases and nine Covid-19 related deaths since the outbreak of the viral disease.

Acting District Health Director, Katherine Kalumba, said the district had setup an isolation centre at Kapiri Urban Clinic which had one Covid-19 patient.

Dr Kalumba said 30 health staff had been trained in Covid-19 surveillance and case management in the district.

“Since the outbreak we have collected 5, 655 samples out of which 447 have come out positive with nine deaths so far,” Dr Kalumba said.

She said there was adequate manpower and oxygen equipment at the isolation centre to respond to the current statistics of Covid-19 being recorded in the district.

Meanwhile, Kapiri Mposhi District Commissioner, Smart Mwila, bemoaned the low compliance levels in the district.

Mr Mwila said the authorities should move in to enforce Covid-19 regulations at super spreader events such as funeral and church gatherings.- ZANIS.

Mufulira poised for major agro project

By ROGERS KALERO A MULTI-NATIONAL organisation is considering to embark on agriculture projects in Mufulira as a way of easing poverty and joblessness in the mining town.

Apollo Fintech director, Wessel Sevenster, said his organisation would concentrate on agriculture and other areas in the informal sector to reduce unemployment and poverty levels.

"One of the areas we will look at is agriculture and others which can contribute effectively to ending poverty," Mr Sevenster said.

Mr Sevenster said his team would meet the District Commissioner, Mr Mike Manda, residents and other stakeholders to establish what was needed to fight poverty in Mufulira,

Mr Mushinge He was speaking after he donated 19, 000 facemasks to the Mufulira Municipal Council yesterday.

Mr Sevenster said his organisation would not just look at fighting the pandemic but also look at effects of the pandemic such as joblessness and poverty in various communities.

"Yes, we have donated about 19, 000 facemasks to help in fighting the deadly Covid-19.

But the task ahead also is to deal with effects of Covid-19 such as joblessness and poverty. The pandemic has worsened poverty levels in various communities, this is why we want to contribute towards fighting poverty,” he said.

He said the organisation would also visit other parts of the country to find ways of ending poverty and empowering people in various communities.

"In trying to find out what can be done to alleviate poverty, we will be visiting various communities not only in Mufulira, but other parts of Zambia" he added.

And Mufulira Mayor, Gift Mushinge, said the fact that some foreigners wanted to engage Zambians in fighting poverty, was a clear indication that Government had created a conductive environment for investment.

Mr Mushinge urged residents to work closely with the investors who mean well.

CIVIL SERVICE EFFICIENCY CARDINAL - MINISTER

T

HERE is urgent need to increase the capacity of civil servants to efficiently deliver services to the citizens, says North-Western Province Minister Nathaniel Mubukwanu.

Mr Mubukwanu noted that the civil service was the engine of any service delivery, which required requisite support and motivation.

He, therefore, said the human resource functions delegated to the provincial committee had greatly helped to address the challenges such as staff confirmations and transfers among civils ervants.

“We are happy to say from the time the committee was formed, 215 cases of confirmations have been dealt with and this is a positive result for

us as a province and we are proud of it,” he said.

Mr Mubukwanu appealed to the Civil Service Commission to consider devolving additional functions to the provincial committee.

He said the provincial committee was capable of handling any case as can be seen from the timely response in handling people’s concerns.

“I think the more responsi- delegation of commissioners bilities we are given, the more to monitor and evaluate proganswerable we are going to ress on the delegated human be to the needs of the people resources management funcwe are mandated to serve,” he tions. said.

L/stone workers demand protective wear

By ANDREW MUKOMA SOME casual workers engaged to unblock the Chalo Bantu drainage system leading to the sewer ponds in Livingstone’s Zambezi Ward have called on the local authority to provide them with adequate protective wear.

The casual workers have complained that since they were engaged to unblock the drainage, the local authority has not provided any protective equipment.

According to the workers, they have presented the matter to the ward councillor, Robert Wandila.

Group representative, Exilder Kamunyu, said some workers were using bare hands to clean the drainages while some gloves that were given earlier were getting tone because of the rough rubble that have accumulated for a long time.

Ms Kamunyu said in an interview with the Daily Nation at the site, that the workers were working in the dirty water, posing a threat to their health.

Bullying of women worrying, says media body

By ANDREW MUKOMA POLITICAL violence and intimidation targeted at women in Zambia must be resolved through concerted efforts, the Free Press Initiative (FPI) Zambia has said.

FPI Founder, Joan Chirwa, said that political violence, intimidation targeted women including journalists had troubled the country for a long time.

Ms Chirwa said there was need to find solutions to the vices because there was lesser participation of women and youths in politics.

She was speaking in Livingstone during the FPI Zambia training programme for journalists and editors on coverage of women and youth political participants at Limbo Lodge yesterday.

Ms Chirwa said bullying ad violence were scaring women from participating in politics.

At the same function, Mayor Eugene Mapuwo said women's political participation in Zambia was full of cyber bulling.

Mr Mapuwo said as a result, women shunned politics and left it to be dominated by the men.

MP CAUTIONS ELECTORATE AGAINST ‘DECEPTIVE’ CANDIDATES

By ROGERS KALERO

Mr Nundwe

Armyworms contained - Nundwe THE fall armyworms that broke out in some districts of the Copperbelt have been eradicated, Provincial Permanent Secretary Bright Nundwe has said.

Ministry of Agriculture officers in the region put up a spirited fight along with farmers to get rid of the armyworms.

Mr Nundwe said in an interview that the pesticides that the government recently dispatched to the province had helped in reducing the spread of the fall armyworms that infested the crops.

He urged agricultural officers to continue being proactive and educate farmers on ways of detecting the armyworms early.

Mr Nundwe assured farmers of Government’s

continued support to the entire agricultural sector.

“We have worked so well to contain the fall army worms on the Copperbelt.

To me, the Government deserves commendation for ensuring that chemicals were dispatched on time to the affected districts,” Mr Nundwe said.

About 21,000 hectares of farmland were infested with the fall armyworms, affecting over 28,000 households on the Copperbelt.

In this perspective, Mr Nundwe expressed optimism that the Copperbelt would record another bumper harvest as the crops were growing well.

He attributed the good crops to the early distribution of farm inputs

by Government.

THE electorate must be careful with promises coming from some aspiring candidates or else they will be misled into voting for non-performing representatives, Nkana MP Alexander Chiteme has warned.

He said the electorate must be careful because some people who had failed to provide leadership when they were in Government, were busy making unattainable promises in constituencies.

Mr Chiteme, who is National Development Planning Minister, was speaking in Kitwe when he handed over 30 desks worth more than K30, 000 to Luyando Community School in Mindolo ward.

“People are coming here to tell you all sorts of things, but you must be careful or else you will be misled by those who have failed to deliver or provide quality leadership when they were given Government jobs. They are telling you

lies.

“The machines which came to work on roads here are my machines and I have given you empowerment in form of money, chicken-rearing projects which your leadership has squandered. Even cement, roofing sheets and blocks have gone missing. So it is not my problem that you have a community leadership which steals from you,” Mr Chiteme said.

Mr Chiteme said the community had let him down and he was disappointed that despite putting up a lot of efforts to empower members, they had allowed their community leaders to steal from them.

He said he expected the Luyando community to become aggressive and deal firmly with their leadership which was stealing from them whenever he tried to empower them.

ZANZIBAR’S VEEP DIES SA vaccine rollout begins with AFTER SUFFERING COVID president’s jab

DAR ES SALAAM - Zanzibar’s first vice president Seif Sharif Hamad, who led the island’s opposition for three decades, died yesterday, President Ali Hussein Mwinyi said, after he had been hospitalised for over three weeks with coronavirus.

Tanzania and its semi-autonomous island Zanzibar have played down the threat of the virus, which President John Magufuli has said has been fended off by prayer.

However Hamad’s ACT-Wazalendo party announced in January that the 77-year-old had been hospitalised with the virus.

The president of Tanzania’s semi-autonomous islands of Zanzibar has announced seven days of national mourning following the death.

Flags would fly at half-mast during the mourning period, Hussein Mwinyi said.

The 77-year-old Zanzibari politician had been receiving treatment at Muhumbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam, a few weeks after contracting coronavirus.

He is likely to be buried today.

Hamad, popularly known as Maalim Seif, was a giant figure in opposition politics in Zanzibar - and Tanzania in general.

He had joined a government of national unity in

Zanzibar’s first vice president Seif Sharif Hamad

Zanzibar following last October’s elections.

He was the leader of the ACT Wazalendo party and was the most prominent official in Tanzania to openly declare that he had contracted Covid-19.

The authorities have repeatedly declared that the country is free from coronavirus or that the virus is under control - and stopped publishing official Covid-19 data in June last year.

Magufuli also expressed his condolences in a message on Twitter. Neither leader mentioned the cause of death. – BBC/AFP.

JOHANNESBURG - South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa has received a coronavirus vaccine as the country’s begins the rollout of Johnson & Johnson jabs.

He was injected in front of the cameras in Khayelitsha District Hospital in Cape Town - and later tweeted: “Taking the vaccine was quick, easy

and not so painful.

“I urge all our healthcare workers to register to receive their vaccinations as they are our first line of defence against the coronavirus pandemic.”

Zweli Mkhize and other healthcare workers were also vaccinated with the first batch of 80, 000 of the Johnson &

Johnson doses which arrived in the country on Tuesday evening.

“This day represents a real milestone for us as South Africans, that finally the vaccines are here, and they are being administered,” the News24 website quotes President Ramaphosa as saying after his injection.

Africa’s worst-hit country had been due to start its vaccine rollout last week but it was delayed because of concerns over the effectiveness of the AstraZeneca vaccine, which it had intended to use, against a fast-spreading coronavirus variant discovered in South Africa in November.

As the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is a single-dose shot it is also considerably easier to administer. – BBC.

Gunmen kidnap ‘hundreds’ of schoolboys in Nigeria ABUJA - Gunmen believed to belong to a criminal gang have kidnapped hundreds of schoolboys from their hostels along with some of teachers in central Nigeria, an official

and a security source said yesterday.

The attackers wearing military uniforms stormed the Government Science College in “huge numbers” in the town of Kagara in Niger state late on Tuesday, herding the students into a nearby forest, the sources said.

One student was dead during the kidnapping, the official said.

Northwest and central Nigeria have increasingly been targeted by criminal gangs known locally as “bandits” who kidnap for ransom, rape and pillage across the region.

“One of the kidnapped staff and some students managed to escape. The staff confirmed a

student was shot dead during the kidnap operation,” the official said.

The school has around 1, 000 students and it was not immediately clear how many were taken. The security source confirmed the details of the attack and said a headcount was under way.

Troops with aerial support were tracking the bandits for possible rescue, the security source said.

The Niger kidnapping came two months after hundreds of schoolboys were abducted in northwestern Katsina state then released days later following negotiations with the government. – AFP.
