‘MWAMONA USED FAKE TAX PAPER FOR ZESCO PROJECT’

By CHARLES MUSONDA

A

WITNESS has testified that Mwamona Engineering Technical Services (METS) used a fake Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) tax clearance certificate to get a contract worth K14 million from Zesco Limited.

Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) investigations officer Ferguson Kombe said this yesterday before Principal Resident Magistrate Mwaka Mikalile in a matter METS board chairman Chishimba Kambwili is charged with his son Mwamba and two ZRA employees with obtaining pecuniary advantage.

They are charged with 37 counts of possessing more than K6 million suspected to be proceeds of crime, and uttering a false document to a public officer.

The two ZRA officers Brano Lukwesa Musonda and Mulenga Kapilima, who are based in Kitwe, are charged with preparing the alleged false tax clear-

Fake WARMA officials exposed THE Water Resources Management Authority (WARMA) has warned the public that there are unscrupulous individuals purporting to be its workers.

These were installing bulk water meters on domestic boreholes without its knowledge and consent.

WARMA Public Relations Officer, Joshua Kapila, stated that the unscrupulous individuals were taking advantage of the unsuspecting residents to enter private premises with the aim of conducting criminal activities.

This is contained a statement issued yesterday.

Mr Kapila stated that such unscrupulous individuals were not employees or agents of WARMA. He explained that WARMA has only directed all commercial users of water to install bulk water meters.

Mr Kapila informed the public that it is not a requirement for domestic borehole users to install bulk water meters.

“Furthermore, WARMA would like to warn such individuals to desist from conducting themselves in such dubious and deceptive criminal activities because if caught, they will face the full wrath of the law,” he warned.

He appealed to residents to report any suspected individuals involved in such illegal activities to the nearest Police Station or WARMA. – ZANIS.

ance certificate to show that METS was tax compliant when in fact not.

Testifying in the matter, Mr. Kombe said his investigations revealed that METS was owing ZRA about K3.1 million in unpaid tax returns and could therefore only be issued with a tax clearance certificate for one to three months and not the one for the full year.

He said only the ZRA commissioner-general should de-

cide whether or not to issue the certificate upon being satisfied with legal arrangements and not a junior officer.

Mr. Kombe said his investigations also revealed that METS had no “time to pay agreement” with ZRA. He said his investigations also revealed that ZRA has no record or trace of the tax clearance certificate dated March 4, 2014 issued to METS as such documents are officially issued

in triplicates.

Mr. Kombe said during interviews at ACC, Musonda admitted that the certificate would have been issued at the advice of Kapilima and that he admitted signing on it.

He said Zesco Limited paid Mwamona U$1.6 million as advance payment for the contract, which included construction of 33 settlers’ houses and 34 VIP toilets at the 14.8 megawatts Lunzua hydro power project in Mpulungu.

Mr. Kombe said Mwamona was also receiving huge sums of money from China Henan International Corporation for the subcontract it was awarded to work on the Mansa-Luwingu road and township roads in Mansa and Luwingu.

Mr. Kombe said there was about US$467, 000 that China Henan deposited in METS’ account held at Finance Bank Zambia Luanshya branch out of which US$341, 000 was withdrawn and transferred to a named Chinese national.

HH making killing claims to elicit sympathy, says PF

By NATION REPORTER HAKAINDE Hichilema is eliciting for sympathy from the electorate by making cheap accusations that the state is plotting to kill him when he is not even a factor, Patriotic Front (PF) Secretary-General Davies Mwila has said.

Mr Mwila said no one wanted to kill the UPND presidentand that his allegations were baseless.

"As far as the party in power is concerned, no one wants to kill him. Kill him for what? He is only saying this because he wants to get sympathy from the people as always," he said Mr Mwila said Mr Hichilema comes up with the same wide

allegations whenever elections were around the corner.

He said Mr Hichilema suffers from election fever whenever polls draw nearer and would start making unjustified claims..

“We know these lies, they always come up when it’s election time,” Mr Mwila said.

He said Zambia was a democratic state that allowed people to participate in a democracy favourably.

Mr Mwila said the UPND leader had been losing elections since 2006 and wondered who would want to take out such a person from an election.

Mr Hichilema claimed that there were schemes to arrest and poison him and later claim

Mr Mwila

that he died of Covid-19.

He posted on his Facebook page that the ruling PF was trying to kill him so that he could not contest the August 12 general elections.

‘M’membe has no moral right to talk about Lungu’

By SIMON MUNTEMBA FRED M'membe should be the last person to talk about getting rid of President Edgar Lungu's Government because his record as proprietor of the defunct Post Newspaper leaves much to be desired, former UPND deputy spokesperson Edwin Lifwekelo has said.

Mr Lifwekelo said the damage that Dr M'membe caused to several innocent Zambians through his malicious editorials were so significant that no sane Zambian would trust him.

He added that Dr M'membe was a sadist who used the Post Newspaper to launch a full-throttle attacks on highly respected former Presidents out of personal envy.

He was reacting to sentiments by Dr M'membe that, “we can get rid of a Lungu, the same way we got rid of a Kaunda and Banda."

But Mr Lifwekelo however said: “Fred M’membe should just shut up because he is, on moral grounds, one to start talking

about getting rid of others when he is known to be a tax evader,” Mr Lifwekelo said.

“Remember, this is a man who was dedicated to publishing fake news and malicious articles against former Presidents like RB and FTJ because of his personal envy. He wanted to control all the Presidents using his paper but after failing to control President Lungu, he has been so bitter,”

Cabinet approves Covid-19 vaccine

By OLIVER SAMBOKO CABINET has approved the Covid-19 vaccine programme under the free Corvax facility spearheaded

by UNICEF. Health Minister, Jonas Chanda, said a Cabinet meeting that was held on Wednesday to deliberate on Zambia's acquisition, deployment and financing of Covid-19 vaccine approved that the country should undertake the programme.

“This follows Government approval in principle to adopt a Corvax vaccine programme as one of the key pillars in mitigating the impact of Covid-19 on the health and social economic of citizens especially the vulnerable in society,” he said.

Dr Chanda said under the Corvax facility, 3, 676, 791 eligible Zambians above the age of 18 will have to be earmarked for the vaccination,.

This translates 20 percent of the 46 percent of the eligible population of 8, 438, 118.

He said health front workers, the police, security, teachers, traditional leaders, clergy, marketeers, traders, bus drivers and truck drivers will be given priority.

Dr Chanda said the remaining 26 percent eligible population will be covered under the Governmentsponsored vaccination

programme and other mechanisms.

He added that Government was still awaiting advice from the World Health Organisation and others on vaccination of persons below 18 years because currently, no country was vaccinating that category.

Dr Chanda said globally, the Covid -19 vaccine had been seen as a way out of the pandemic and as way to reduce further transmission of the virus.

He said government would remain open to receiving support from other countries and cooperating partners in covering the remaining population that will not be covered by the free Corvax programmr.

Meanwhile, Dr Chanda announced that the country has in the last 24 hours recorded 325 new cases out of 7, 646 tests conducted, bringing the cumulative number of confirmed cases recorded to date to 87, 318.

Dr Chanda said four new deaths were recorded in Lusaka and North-Western provinces, bringing the cumulative number of Covid-19 related deaths to 1, 191.

He said a combined 278 discharges were recorded from both the Covid-19 isolation facilities and home management, bringing the cumulative number of recoveries to 83, 895.

DEC busts fake cash scheme … South African, Zambian nabbed

Simphiwe Cyprian Gewensa, 24 and Mubanga Mwale, a 32-year-old Zambian were arrested by the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) working with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

DEC Public Relations Officer, Theresa Katongo said Gewensa, a financial controller at Earn Mo Holding was arrested with Mwale for various offences under the Securities Act No. 41 of 2016.

The South African was operating under Earn Mo Digital Marketing and Advertising Limited.

when in fact not.

"The DEC has since seized K608, 615 and US$13,620 in cash from the suspects," she said.

She has since warned the public not to invest in such schemes as they risked losing their money.

Ms Katongo said the DEC had received many complaints from the victims who had invested their money in some institutions.

AUDIT MINERAL EXPORTS From Page 1 “It’s very good for the government to intervene in mines that are operating contrary to the wishes of the people of Zambia but it’s at the same time important that Mopani begins to operate at optimal level. There is also need for KCM to start operating at 100 percent because the country is losing much needed forex at a time when metal prices are at their highest,” Dr Haabazoka said.

And Dr Haabazoka urged Government to establish why the country was not deriving maximum benefits from exports of copper and cobalt whose prices had risen significantly on the international market.

He observed that the country had not recorded any significant increase in foreign exchange inflows even when Government had suspended debt service for the last eight months.

Dr Haabazoka said Zambia today had more mines than ever before with manganese, gold and other minerals being mined alongside copper and cobalt He said prices of copper and cobalt which account

for 78 percent of foreign exchange inflows were currently trading around US$9,147 per tonne and US$52,000 per tonne respectively.

“Two years ago, Cobalt prices plummeted to under $27, 000 but today they are trading above $52, 000 per tonne,” he said.

He said answers must be provided where billions of money Zambia was currently making from copper and cobalt were going to.

Dr Haabazoka wondered that Zambia had not been making debt payments since mid-last year and yet revenue from copper and cobalt was not significant.

“Despite the numerous small medium and large scale mines operating in the country, Zambia has been unable to see any positive effect on the economy be it exchange rate or tax inflows,” he said.

Dr Haabazoka said: “When you drive from Kapiri Mposhi up to Solwezi all you see are trucks!

Trucks full of mineral resources!

“The big question is, where is the forex and all the money from copper, cobalt, gold and manganese mining going to?” he questioned.

LL our NDC candidates will stand on the UPND Alliance ticket in the August 12 general elections and for Chishimba Kambwili's son, Mwamba, I think he is an independent candidate, acting NDC president Joseph Akafumba has said.

Mr Akafumba said all office bearers should have received notices for the meeting but none did.

He emphasised: "No one is

Mr Katambo said Government had allowed millers with their own maize who meet an agreed criteria to export 20 percent of their mealie meal.

He said at a media briefingin Lusaka yesterday that the maize stock figures in the country including what FRA was

President Lungu said this yesterday during the virtual 30th session of the heads of State and Government of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) forum.

President Lungu was among several African heads of State and representatives of Government who attended the 30th session of the heads of State and Government of the APRM forum.

President Lungu who followed the session virtually was accompanied by Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Malanji, Minister of Justice

Given Lubinda, and special assistant to the President for press and public relations Issac Chipampe among other senior Government officials.

Later, President Lungu presented reports on the contribution of tourism and mineral resources to the economy of Zambia delivered on his behalf by Mr Malanji.

He stated that heritage In the mining sector, he said, Zambia had been progressing very well with the opening of new mines in the North-Western Province where large deposits of cop-

He said Zambia stood ready to learn and use best practices from other countries to address the issues raised in both reports.

Mr Lungu however, said the benefits of the discovery of copper products have not fully permeated to the local people, as observed and alluded to in the report.

Meanwhile, chairperson of APRM, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa called for unity among African countries as the continent collectively pursues the Africa Agenda 2063.

The maize stocks, he said, would last up to end of October, this year.

Mr Katambo said initial reports of the ongoing 2020/2021 Crop Forecast Survey indicate that the country’s production of major crops was on the rise.

The minister added that the country was expected to be food secure into the 2021/2022 agricultural

season. He however urged millers who were eying the strategic grain reserves held by the Food Reserve Agency to understand that strategic grain reserves were for relief purposes only.

Mr Katambo said since the months of January, February and March when the mealie meal prices normally reach their peak had passed, prices were expected to remain stable.

He said the prices would start dropping towards

the end of April until they reach their lowest in July/ August, 2021.

Mr Katambo said Government would continue to regularly monitor maize stock levels in the country and the priority was to ensure that the country was food secure and that any export programme does not affect domestic supply and pricing.

Government committing to ensure that local prices of mealie meal remain relatively stable during this programme.

Mr Chintala said for a miller to participate on the current programme, he ought to have at least two to three months of maize stock verified by a team of Governments officers and MAZ officials.

He said the export programme would earn the country the much-needed foreign exchange from the export markets as it would increase the mealie meal production capacity or mill utilisation from 60 percent, on average.

ZAMBIANS should reject leaders that have overstayed in their positions, the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) has said.

And YALI has disclosed that young people aspirng for leadership positions are being threatened of being bewitched by elder leaders.

Speaking in an interview in Lusaka yesterday, YALI President Andrew Ntewewe said his organisation was happy that Kabwata MP Given Lubinda had decided not to recontest the seat.

Mr Ntewewe said there must be entry and exit mechanism in leadership so that there was a smooth transition.

"From a YALI's point of view, we commend Hon Lubinda for his decision not to recontest the Kabwata seat in this year's election. Emulate Hon Lubinda and hand over the leadership mantle to fresh blood," Mr Ntewewe said.

Mr Ntewewe said young people had the potential of contributing to the development of the country given a chance.

He said it was important for leaders who have served for a long time to step aside so that emerging leaders can take over from them.

"They are a number of ways of how the veteran politicians can contribute to the development of the country because of their experience. They have been there for a long time and they can still contribute even when they leave office," he said.

Meanwhile, Mr Ntewewe disclosed that YALI had continued receiving reports and complaints from young people with leadership aspirations that they were being threatened with witchcraft by elders, a situation he said was unfortunate.

MINING IN RIGHT HANDS THERE is nothing wrong with Government taking charge of the country’s mineral resources if they are for the well-being of the nation.

It is therefore ironic that there are some sceptical Zambians who still want to question why Government should want to take control of some mining companies.

When one studies the conduct of some of the foreign multinationals who have operated mining companies, it borders on criminality.

Government had to put a stop to this and it could only do so by ensuring that control of the mining companies reverted to the owners – Zambians.

What is there to sing about Mopani Copper Mines (MCM) when the majority shareholder Glencore International wanted to abandon operations at the first major hurdle – Covid-19 – claiming that it could not sustain operations to the effects of the global pandemic?

It was prepared to dump thousands of miners and workers from those line companies that depend on the mining firm on the streets, and put the company on care and maintenance.

But Government put its foot down and rejected their proposal.

Now there is not only a glimmer of hope but a positive atmosphere because Government has through ZCCM-IH assumed 100 percent control of the mining firm.

This is a stance backed by major stakeholders – trade unions in the mining industry.

Economic Association of Zambia president Dr Lubinda Haabazoka added his voice, saying Government is on the right track to gain control of some mines and be in charge of resources and major decision-making.

As Dr Haabazoka said, the government intervention would ensure mines begin to operate at optimal level.

He said with Government control, MCM and Konkola Copper Mines would start operating at 100 percent and ensure the country stopped losing the much needed foreign exchange because metal prices were at their highest.

It is an open secret that Zambians were taken for a ride because they could not see the benefits from the assets they thought were theirs.

The mining companies used every trick up their sleeve to avoid paying taxes, distorted export figures and connived with foreign-based subsidiaries to cheat on prices.

No wonder the Zambia Revenue Authority was forced to take the mining company to court. The result? Mopani was ordered to refund ZRA almost US$13 million after it ruled that the mining company had not been honest in its dealings.

But as Dr Haabazoka observed, with Government control, MCM and Konkola Copper Mines would start operating at 100 percent and ensure the country stopped losing the much needed foreign exchange because metal prices were at their highest.

Zambians now hold destiny in their hands for Mopani is under their control and they must ensure that it succeeds.

As a minority shareholder, ZCCM-IH did not have a strong voice to influence major decisions that had a bearing on the future and stability of the country.

That has changed after buying out Glencore.

Zambians must now begin to see the benefits of being in charge of the mines, not just through job security but helping the country’s economy pick up.

The bottom line though is that mining is in the right hands and with this, there should be no room for failure.

‘CLOSED UNIVERSITIES MUST REFUND STUDENTS’

By NOEL IYOMBWA

U

NIVERSITIES that have been closed for operating illegally should be compelled to refund students because many suffer to reclaim their dues, Copperbelt University Student’s Union president Shadreck Mumba has said.

Mr Mumba said that students were not at fault and should therefore not be left destitute after the universities were shut.

He said in an interview that students enrolled according to how universities advertised their programmes.

Recently, the Higher Education Authority (HEA) closed five higher learning institutions for operating illegally.

The five are Elpalate University in Lusaka, Landmark University in Lusaka and Shalom University in Kitwe.

Others are Shaphat University in Lusaka and Yesbud University also in Lusaka.

Mr Mumba said parents were desperate to educate their children hence they send them to universities without knowing that such institutions were not registered.

“Parents want to take their children to universities and struggle to find money to pay fees that have gone up but unfortunately some people are opening schools without proper documentation and facilities,” he said.

Mr Mumba welcomed the move to shut down the universities and called on Government to ensure that all universities were genuine.

He observed that if not checked, the mushrooming of universities would lead to falling education standards in the country.

Mr Mumba said that the

Mr Mumba

HEA should be conducting routine inspections of private universities to ensure compliancy.

The HEA also revoked the six postgraduate degrees in the field of transformational leadership that were conferred by Twin Palm Leadership University at a graduation ceremony held in April, last year.

This followed an investigation conducted into the circumstances under which the degrees were awarded.

Police hunt for unregistered vehicles

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU POLICE will soon conduct a countrywide operation to clamp down all unregistered vehicles which have been imported into the country.

Some unregistered vehicles are being used in criminal activities.

This will be a joint operation with the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) and Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) aimed at bringing to book all those that would fail to register their motor vehicles.

Last week, ZRA impounded 74 vehicles for dubiously entering Zambia, having questionable clearance papers and expiry of temporally importation certificates in an exercise conducted in three districts.

Commenting on this, Police Inspector General, Kakoma Kanganja, said he had observed an increase in the number of unregistered motor vehicles on public roads which in some instances were being used in criminal activities as perpetrators easily elude justice.

Mr Kanganja said it was for this reason that the trio would conduct a joint operation countrywide.

“Registration of motor vehicles is essential as it allows for easy identification and tracing when used in criminal activities or when involved in road traffic violations such as hit and run road traffic accidents.

“According to section 11 of the Road Traffic Act, any motor vehicle that has been imported into the country

should be registered within 14 days, failure to which such a motor vehicle should be impounded and the owner charged for failing to register a motor vehicle,” he said in a statement.

Mr Kanganja urged those without proper motor vehicle clearance documentation to take advantage of the grace period announced by ZRA to acquire proper documents before the end of the grace period.

ZRA Commissioner General, Kingsley Chanda, last week announced the introduction of a mini tax amnesty to owners of the impounded vehicles to clear their dues before May 15, 2021, with-

out penalties and interest, after which they risked losing them.

Mr Chanda said ZRA had opted to give a grace period and allow the owners of the impounded vehicles to have their vehicles legitimately cleared into the country after paying principal taxes.

“Please note that no penalties or interest will be charged, and no other administrative sanctions will be applied.

“Therefore, anyone driving a vehicle with questionable clearance documents should take advantage of this rare gesture to normalise their importation,” Mr Chanda said.

‘Dethroned’ Shakumbila clings to the throne

By GRACE CHAILELESOETSA DETHRONED Senior Chief Shakumbila, Patrick Chibamba, says the meeting where Netta Shakumbila was selected as his replacement is illegal and against the customary law of the Sala people.

Mr Chibamba insists that the Shakumbila Royal Family does not and cannot work in isolation in the selection or dethronement of a chief.

In this matter, Mr Chibamba who is alleged to have been dethroned from the throne for gross misconduct, is seeking a declaration that he is the reigning Senior Chief Shakumbila of the Sala people.

Mr Chibamba is seeking an order of injunction restraining the defendants from continuing to interfere with the execution of his chiefly duties of the Shakumbila chiefdom.

The same application is seeking an order to stop any further attempt to dethrone him as Senior Chief Shakumbila of the Sala. He is seeking damages, costs and any other relief the court may seem fit.

Mr Chibamba has cited Ms Netta Shakumbila, member of the royal family, Mr Ackson Shibalanga and a resident of Mumbwa, Mr Edgar Mwambula as defendants in the matter.

In an affidavit in reply to affidavit in opposition to summons for an order of injunction, Mr Chibamba stated that the alleged dethronement on October 11, last year was of no effect as the three defendants purportedly exercise powers which they did not possess .

He added that the trio acted in total disregard to the customs and traditions of the Sala people over the removal of a reigning Senior Chief.

Mr Chibamba accused Ms Netta of eying the throne since he was installed as she had been claiming that she was the right heir to the throne when in fact not.

ZAMBIA RECORDS TRADE SURPLUS

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU ZAMBIA'S total trade in February increased by 58.2 percent to K25.2 billion.

Zambia Statistics Agency Interim Statistician General, Mulenga Musepa, said this at the monthly bulleting briefing in Lusaka yesterday.

Mr Musepa said cumulative total trade increased by 68.2 percent to K50.90 billion in February 2021 compared to K30.26 billion in February in 2020.

"A trade surplus of K8.1 billion was recorded in February 2021 compared to the January 2021 surplus of K9.3 billion, driven by an increase in imports coupled with a fall in exports," he said.

Mr Musepa said exports mainly comprising domestically produced goods, decreased by 5.1 per cent to K16.6 billion in February 2021 from K17.5 billion in January 2020.

This increase was mainly on account of a 4.6 per cent and 31.6 per cent decrease in export earnings from intermediate goods and raw materials.

He said the total trade for the period January to February 2021 was K 50.90 billion while that of 2020 for the same period was K30.26 billion, representing a 68.2 per cent increase.

INFLATION RISES TO 22.8 PERCENT

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU ZAMBIA’S March annual inflation rate has increased to 22.8 percent from 22.2 percent recorded the previous month.

This is on account of increase in prices of food and non-food item, says Zambia Statistics Agency Interim Statistician, Mulenga Musepa.

“This means that on average, prices of goods and services increased by 22.8 per cent between March 2020 and March 2021.

“The increase in the annual rate of inflation is attributed to price increases in food and non-food items,” he said yesterday in Lusaka at the media briefing In terms of contribution to annual inflation, food and non-alcoholic beverages accounted for 14.9 percentage

selected food and non-food items.

In addition, monthly food inflation decreased to 1.6 per cent from 2.7 per cent in February 2021 due to deceleration in the inflation of food items such as mealie meal, maize grain, rice, frozen fish, dried Kapenta, pineapples, avocado, tomatoes, green beans and maize cob.

However, monthly non-food inflation decreased to 1.9 per cent from 2.3 per cent the previous month due to prices movements of as household textiles.

Mr Musepa said Northern Province posted the highest annual inflation at 35.8 per cent followed by Central province at 28.8 per cent.

Northern Province recorded the lowest contribution of 0.8 percentage points.

THE British American Tobacco (BAT) Zambia has paid K207.2 million in various taxes to Government for the period ending December 2020.

BAT continues to be a key contributor to the Government’s treasury through the payment of excise, corporate tax, Value Added Tax (VAT), Pay-As-You- Earn (PAYE) and Withholding taxes.

This is according to the financial statement for the period ended December 2020 posted on the Lusaka Securities Exchange (LuSE).

BAT Company secretary, Zoe Chisanga Chiliboyi, said the firm had paid K207.2 million in 2020 in various taxes to Government from K149.3 million the previous year, representing an increase of 38.8 per cent year on year.

Ms Chiliboyi said the company continued to grow its operating profit despite the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic.

“We recorded an increase in turnover of 48.8 per cent amounting to K343.2 million during the period under review compared to the K230.6 million recorded in the same period in 2019.

Ms Chiliboyi said the total cost of operations increased by 36. 5 per cent to K288.9 million reflecting the in the cost of production.

She said the increase in operating costs was mainly driven by the cost of tobacco leaf and wrapping material imports.

For the period ended December 31, 2020, she said the Company made a loss before taxation of K36.9 million compared to a loss before taxation in 2019 of K25.1 million.

Ms Chiliboyi said the increase was largely attributed to higher finance costs in 2020 due to the Company’s borrowing facility being denominated in United States dollar, and the Zambian Kwacha depreciation during the year.

CURB ILLICIT FINANCIAL FLOWS, ZAMBIA URGED

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

C

LAMPING down Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs) is critical for financing Zambia's economic recovery amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.

This is according to the Centre for Trade Policy and Development (CTPD) Senior Researcher, Public Financial Management, Gabriel Pollen.

A 2020 report prepared by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development indicates that about US$88.6 billion left Africa in illicit capital flight.

Dr Pollen therefore observed the clamping down IFFs was an option worth considering in enhancing domestic resource mobilisation for Zambia and other African countries especially with the onset of Covid-19.

This, he explained, could assist in generating resources needed to address the current Covid-19 pandemic.

He said this yesterday in Lusaka during the 2021 IFFs Conference held un-

JOB SEEKING YOUTHS SWINDLED OVER 100 youths have been swindled of thousands of Kwacha by people who promised to secure them employment in the Zambia Army.

Central Province Commissioner of Police, Chola Katanga said 118 youths, among them 41 females, were apprehended near Kapiri Glass Factory as they tried to make their way to ABTA Zambia Army Training Camp in Kapiri Mposhi on Tuesday, March 23, 2021 around 02:30 hours.

der the theme "IFFs and Debt in Africa within the Covid-19 Pandemic."

He said domestic revenue losses were a significant drain in development.

Africa, Dr Pollen said, was affected more than all other continents due to the scourge of IFFs, thereby losing out on revenue for development.

CTPD acting Executive Director, Moscanne Hampongo, expressed concern at the way countries such as Zambia had prioritised debt servicing to CLAMPING down of IFFs. Zambia's external debt currently stands at US$12.75 billion.

Mr Hampongo said debt serving had undermined support to other sectors of the economy, including dealing with IFFs. At the same function, AFRODAD Policy Analyst, Michael Zuze, said IFFs had continued to hamper Africa's growth.

Mr Zuze said the conference therefore presented an opportunity for participants to find ways on how to clamp down IFFs. report that there was a group of youths who mobilised and wanted to go to ABTA Training Centre Camp in Kapiri near Kalweo for unknown reasons," Mr Katanga said.

He said it was established that they were swindled out of money and promised jobs in the Zambia Army by persons yet to be identified.

Mr Katanga said the youth were swindled individually of money in the range of K7, 000 and K15, 000 by some unscrupulous people.

He said the victims who were from Lusaka, Kabwe, Serenje, Mkushi, Solwezi, Copperbelt and Kapiri Mposhi have all been released after being sensitized and cautioned to be careful of criminal elements.-ZANIS.

AG acts to improve audits

By KETRA KALUNGA THE Auditor General’s office will improve the quality of audits after signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Price Water House Coopers (PwC), a tax services firm.

The agreement is aimed at enhancing the technical capacity of the office of the Auditor General which is the supreme audit institution of the country.

Auditor General, Dick Sichembe, said the agreement would improve the quality of audits and enhance transparency and accountability in the management of public resources.

Dr Sichembe said the partnership would help his office to move with the changing trends because the types and standards of audits were ev-

er-changing.

He was speaking yesterday during the signing of the MOU. Dr Sichembe stated that the Covid-19 pandemic has taught the world to embrace new ways of conducting public audits.

The Auditor-General said in order to move with the changing times, his office has partnered with PwC in various types of audit engagements that would add value to operations.

Dr Sichembe said during the time of the agreement, his office would among other things identify audit engagements under its mandate for collaboration with PwC. He said PwC would facilitate capacity in the use and application of information and communication technology (ICT) for the effective delivery of audits.

Mr Chama said in an interview that the allegations by Mr Muchima that the ruling

party had captured the police service, were baseless.

He said that Mr Muchima has realised that he has not done much for his constituency hence he is accusing the PF so that he can be readopted now that it is elections time.

“Mr. Muchima has run out

of ideas and you know it is time for elections maybe it is because he has not delivered for his constituency so he is making useless and baseless statements so that he can be readopted.

“These are statements without facts, where have you seen cadres in police sta-

tions or taking over the work of the police or any other security wing?” he wondered.

He said President Edgar Lungu who is also the PF President cannot allow lawlessness in the party.

Mr Chama who is also Defense Minister, wondered why Mr Muchima was drag-

ging the PF in his issue when he made it clear that it was the police that were stopping him from campaigning in Ikelengi.

Mr Muchima has alleged that the PF has captured the police service.

He accused the police of not being professional and that every time he wants to go round his constituency, he is stopped by the police while PF aspiring candidates were moving around freely.

TOUGH CHOICES …SA seeks lesser of two evils in dealing with Eskom's nearly half a trillion rand debt JOHANNESBURG - National Treasury is considering whether it would be better to move a chunk of Eskom’s R464 billion of debt into a special-purpose vehicle (SPV) or have the state take over responsibility for it directly, people familiar with the situation have said.

While banks have led discussions for the last few weeks over the creation of a socalled SPV that would take over at least R100 billion of Eskom’s debt, and possibly much more, that debt would almost certainly have to be guaranteed by the government, the three people said, asking not to be identified because an announcement hasn’t been made.

Under the SPV arrangement, the debt Eskom retains and any new debt it contracts would be paid off first as a priority, while that held in the SPV, which could have tenure of 10 years or more, would be last in line and would therefore likely need to be guaranteed by the state to win investor support, they said.

That’s something the National Treasury will need to decide on, they said.

While either option would strengthen Eskom’s balance sheet, both risk imperiling South Africa’s credit ratings by further boosting public debt, seen climbing close to 90 percent of gross domestic product by 2026 even without adding the utility’s liabilities. – BLOOMBERG NEWS.

Feb inflation slips to 2.9pc, below the Reserve Bank’s target range JOHANNESBURG - February inflation slipped to 2.9 percent year-on-year, from 3.2 percent reported in January.

Consumer inflation data, released by Stats SA on Wednesday, showed that this is the lowest reading since June 2020 when the rate was 2.2 percent.

On a month-on-month basis, consumer inflation increased by 0.7 percent.

Stats SA noted that due to the ban on the sale of alcoholic beverages from retail outlets, restaurants, bars and hotels during January - there were no base prices available for comparison in February.

The Bureau for Economic Research (BER) expected inflation to edge lower to three percent year-on-year. “Core inflation dynamics are expected to remain benign,” the BER said.

Investec economist Kamilla Kaplan forecasted February inflation to be impacted by fuel price increases, which will have been countered by lower contributions from miscellaneous goods and services. The February survey month captures price changes in medical insurance.

Shortage of potatoes and onions - Farmers complain

Send an email to dailynation@ymail.com

Dear Editor, ALLOW me to add my voice to this issue. On the evening of Wednesday, March 24, 2021 there was a clip carried by Northern News showing marketeers who complained of a shortage in the supply of potatoes and onions on the Copperbelt market.

They appealed for a lift on the ban to import potatoes and onions from Tanzania.

This surprises me especially when the usual complaints from our farmers is lack of market for their agricultural products.

Allow me to say that as much as the complaint for the said potato shortage would seem genuine, marketeers should understand that when we import products we can locally produce we are killing our own economy.

What this means is that

when Tanzanians sell the potatoes in Zambia they will be given the Zambia Kwacha in exchange. However since the Zambian Kwacha bill is not legal tender in Tanzania the Tanzanian trader will exchange the Zambian Kwacha for our international currencies such as the United States dollars which we also need to build up our foreign reserve account.

So why should we run the risk of losing the foreign exchange we so much needf? Fellow Zambians, there is no better way we can build our foreign reserves apart from growing our own food instead of importing from our neighbours.

We have all there is to be proud of in terms of our natural resource endowment.

ARNOLD SIKAONA, Kasama.

Candidate selection for parliamentary elections Dear Editor, I NOTE that a number of political parties have declared that they will only adopt popular candidates for the forthcoming elections scheduled for August 12, 2021, of course taking into account the Grade 12 certificate requirement.

In this regard, parties have given powers to the constituency leadership to recommend the popular candidates in their constituencies.

My question is, how does the constituency leadership determine that a candidate is popular in the constituency? My understanding of this approach is that parties are looking for candidates who are easily marketable to the electorate with high chances of scooping the seat.

To do this, you can't allow a few individuals at constituency level to pick a candidate and recommend such a person for adoption.

The question is, what criteria did they use to arrive at the popular candidate. Such individuals are vulnerable to corruption by candidates who are financially sound.

In other words, the constituency leaders can easily be bought by candidates, some of whom may not even be popular among the electorates.

To achieve the intended objective of picking a popular candidate, my view is that constituency leaders must hold town hall meetings with the community in their respective

constituencies and seek their opinion who among the applicants for adoption would be their preferred candidate.

This will also give the community a chance to give their assessment of the performance of the ou going MP, especially for those who are seeking re-election.

Whoever comes out prominently in the town hall meetings is the one the constituency leadership should recommend for adoption.

It is important that the applicants attend the town hall meetings so that they hear for themselves who the majority of the community in the constituency prefer.

This will insulate the constituency leadership from any blame or accusation in the adoption process because whoever is recommended for adoption will be deemed to have been chosen by the community.

Transparency will also been seen to have prevailed and this is crucial especially in constituencies which are fiercely contested.

This approach also entails that responsibility shifts to the constituency leadership if the candidate they recommended tumbles in the elections.

Therefore, the need for the constituency leadership to do a good job of identifying a popular candidate is crucial.

Lungu’s foreign observer vitiation; A personal commitment towards free, transparent and credible election

Dear Editor, DURING his annual greetings of the diplomatic corps accredited to Zambia, held virtually on Tuesday, President Edgar Lungu did not want to leave anything to chance but assure the international community that the elections will be free and fair.

This commitment by the President comes barely when some unpatriotic citizens have with impunity been abusing the cyber space to discredit the hard earned reputation Zambia has acquired as a beacon of peace.

The aspersions being cast on social media seem to suggest that the nation is ungovernable yet the contrary is true.

President Lungu even went an extra mile to indicate to the diplomats that soon the invitations will be sent to the observers who wish to monitor the elections.

This is despite that Zambia is anticipating a third wave of corona virus which is likely to hit the country in the third quarter of this year and building up to the elections.

President Lungu’s open invitation in view of the world as the meeting was streamed live on various social media platforms with a wide following, is highly appreciated as it is commitment towards the transparent and peaceful electoral process.

President Lungu has proved his critics wrong especially those who judge the standard

of a free and fair election only if the outcome favoured them.

From the time the preparations for elections kicked off, the power hungry politicians who have lost six times consecutively have always discredited the democratic process.

To remind those who maybe forgetful, President Lungu has always been truthful to his holding free and fair elections and he did it in 2016.

In 2016, elections which gave him his first term where highly praised by various institutions as observers freely undertook their calling.

The President’s pledge to the diplomats is consistent with the assurance he has given to the Zambian people and more recently the directive to the Inspector General of Police Mr Kakoma Kanganja to reform the Zambia Police Service.

The police on the other hand are confident that they will not let the Zambian people down and will be helpful in delivering the peaceful poll.

Now that the highest office in the land has extended an olive branch to international observers, the onus is now on the political players to complement the efforts that have been made by the various institutions.

The two ECZ at play I AM casually watching the drama of how the two ECZs are carrying on their business after the ConCourt ruling that puts Grade 12 school certificate as a must to have, that has put a lot of aspiring candidates both new and those serving, on the wire.

The first ECZ (Examination Council of Zambia)'s mandate is to verify and certify that the presented certificate to them is a valid certificate issued by themselves, the names are genuine and that it has not been tampered with.

The second ECZ (Electoral Commission of Zambia)'s mandate is to ascertain and qualify that the Grade 12 certificate duly certified by the first ECZ meets its criteria for adoption, which a lot of aspirants are actually giving a blind eye to.

Surprisingly, the majority seem to assume that the first ECZ's confirmation letter means the second ECZ should not disqualify it, which is not true.

Anyway, for now I’m digesting aloud but I see a lot on the wire because of what I am seeing and hearing in the hood.

For instance, what has the second ECZ explained on what constitute a qualification to be on the ballot paper, not whether is it just a Grade 12 school certificate?

Let us wait and see. I have my Grade 12 papers ready and handy from the first ECZ. WISDOM MUYUNDA, Chingola.

Promote potato and union growing, Govt urged

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA

GOVERNMENT should invest in capacity building for farmers growing onion and potatoes in order to mitigate the shortage of the two commodities, the National Union for Small Scale Farmers in Zambia (NUSFAZ) has advised.

In February 2021, Government through the Ministry of agriculture, imposed a ban, restricting the importation of onion and potatoes.

Government was of the view that there were enough onions and potatoes grown locally to meet the national demand. But a few weeks later, selected districts have been experiencing a shortage and a sharp price rise in the prices of the two commodities on the local market.

A check by the Daily Nation at selected markets in some districts, Kitwe inclusive found a bag of potatoes that was a few months sold at K80 per bag was now being sold at K110 while onions were in short supply.

Some stakeholders have started calling on Government to consider lifting the ban before the situation got worse.

NUSFAZ Executive Director, Ebony Lolozhi, said the current situation was evidence enough that Government did not conduct a study on the capacity of the local farmers to produce and meet the demand.

“Having people complaining about the cost of the commodities is an indication that government did not do its homework well on this matter.

ECZ KITWE CENTRE CHOKED

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA

THE Examinations Council of Zambia (ECZ) service centre in Kitwe is experiencing overwhelming numbers of clients seeking qualifications validation.

A check by the Daily Nation at the centre in Riverside found people from various parts of the province seeking validation of qualifications, including Grade 12 certificates.

The slow moving queues mainly comprised the August 12 general elections office aspirants who had thronged the centre to have their grade 12 school certificate verified.

Others were verifying their results in order to apply for tertiary education.

All candidates would be required to have their grade 12 certificates or equivalent validated by the ECZ or the Zambia Qualifications Authority.

ZAMBIA ROAD SAFE CORRIDOR INITIATIVE: ....Working collectively for road safety

W

ITH 853, 909 registered motor vehicles, 28, 484 crashes and 1, 690 fatalities in 2020 traffic-related mortality in Zambia is high, even when compared regionally.

This picture translates into 334 crashes per 10, 000 motor vehicles or, on average, 141 fatalities per month during this period. Add injuries conservatively estimated to be over ten times more than fatalities, losses of property, production, and income, and the additional stress on families and medical services, the combined socioeconomic consequence of crashes to the country is enormous and long-term.

Accounting for this grim picture are several critical factors that include road infrastructure failures, poor road maintenance, compromised and non-inclusive road designs, risky driver behaviours, such as speeding, drink-driving and distracted driving, inadequate emergency postcrash response and care and unsafe and inefficient transportation of people, goods and services.

To address the current status, road safety stakeholders through the Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) are mooting a flagship road safety project dubbed the Zambia Road Safe Corridor Initiative (ZRSCI).

It outlines a pragmatic and collective effort to work towards a road safety management regime that saves more lives, enables inclusive socioeconomic progress and enhances regional transport safety and connectivity.

The initiative is intended as a long term effort to convene various road sector stakeholders to enable and unswervingly cohere collective action for improved road safety management.

ZRSCI’s objectives

The overall objective of the initiative is to leverage Zambia’s trade corridors to galvanise collective action across various stakeholders, including road sector agencies, private sector actors, civil society and local communities, to improve and sustain road safety management.

The ZRSCI is a pragmatic

and proactive effort to mobilise collective action for road safety using a “reverse engineering” approach, by influencing stakeholders to participate in road safety management rather than merely align with prescribed roles.

The result hopefully is that what needs to be done urgently will stimulate collective institutional resolve to begin to build a robust road safety management regime using the Safe System Approach.

Therefore, the ZRSCI aims to provide fresh impetus to road safety management by galvanising collective action by all road safety stakeholders.

ZRSCI focus areas The ZRSCI will deploy multi-sectoral interventions including targeted driver education and smart enforcement, improved engineering, emergency health care and community awareness to influence improved road safety.

The ZRSCI will also undertake an intensive intervention approach for the 136-km T2 section between Lusaka and Kabwe where the road has deteriorated and experiences frequent crashes.

The road section has a high crash rate attributed to over speeding on an unforgiving road link. Besides its damaged condition, the road section has some well-known black spots which need to be corrected. Beyond the road corridors, the ZRSCI will address institutional challenges that undermine the capacity of road sector agencies to effectively deliver road safety.

The initiative will specifically focus on covering road safety interventions across the key road sector agencies - RTSA, RDA, NRFA and Ministry of Local Government and beginning to consolidate a safe system approach.

The current absence of weight monitoring and traffic management along Nakonde border with Tanzania to Kasumbalesa on the DRC border is leading to the destruction of this section generating significant safety concerns.

Besides, the sudden increase in traffic may not have been fully anticipated given the varied road designs of this corridor section.

Safety engineering interventions may also include improvement of sight distances, calming and channelisation of

traffic, and measures to ease and control pedestrian movements especially in settled areas.

This section of T2 and T3 section from Kapiri leading to Ndola on the Copperbelt region is busiest with current traffic levels of well over 4, 000 vehicles per day, a two-lane single carriage-way catering for traffic in both directions, Lusaka-Ndola without road markings, physical median lane separation and frequent inter-vehicular traffic conflicts. Driver behaviour along this section is typically non-responsive to the perilous conditions.

Additionally, the ZRSCI will

support specific road design for police check points on the road corridors to ensure a standardised layout and ease of use especially for impounding vehicles with offences.

Obstruction by broken down vehicles occurs at a frequency of about five to six vehicles every 15-km stretch.

Drivers of broken down vehicles typically use non-reflective warnings such as tree branches to warn oncoming traffic. This is not safe and effective.

For this section of the T2

Broken down vegicles along the Great North Road.

corridor, the ZRSCI will explore protocols for clearing the carriageway using tow trucks that are strategically positioned. The ZRSCI will also explore ideas to better communicate with Tanzanian drivers at the entry border and through signage marked in their language for ease of communication along that corridor section especially with regard to controlling speed and encouraging planned rests in safe places.

The combination of damaged road surfaces and deteriorated road furniture makes all corridors absolutely crashprone. The ZRSCI will support the restoration of road signage, markings and other navigational devices.

The ZRSCI will also support installation of considerably large information signs for visibility and provision of critical travel information to road users.

The ZRSCI is specifically concerned that speed management activities are conducted to stop drivers along road sections with deteriorated speed signage and road infrastructure.

Traffic safety and management are critical components for the ZRSCI. Across all trunk and main roads, the ZRSCI will support establishment of safe rest areas, truck stops and lay-bys advocating rest especially for commercial traffic.

However, lay-bys along the corridors have deteriorated making it difficult for drivers to make emergency stops especially along the road. The ZRSCI will support fatigue monitoring to reduce exhaustion-related road traffic crashes.

Investing in road safety education for behaviour change is important for long term sustainability of ZRSCI interventions. The initiative will target educational interventions and

legislative reforms to positively influence driver behaviour.

The ZRSCI will therefore promote behaviour change education to counter risky attitudes, including speeding, drink driving, and distracted driving.

The ZRSCI will use technology devices to undertake enforcement activities along the corridors. The goal is to build an enforcement approach where road users are engaged at all times without the physical presence of road traffic enforcement officers.

Global Positioning System monitoring and drones will also be used to monitor speed.

The ZRSCI will also support communities along the corridors to become active agents of change and contributors to road safety management.

Working collectively for road safety

For the ZRSCI to be successful, all stakeholders in the road sector need to take ownership of the initiative’s ambitions to achieve the desired results. As the lead agency on road safety, the RTSA has the responsibility of leading implementation of the National Road Safety Strategy.

The initiative is focused on generating buy-in for shared and priority road safety concerns among key stakeholders in the sector. The RTSA, as the lead agency on road safety, will play a catalytic role in galvanising such action.

The ZRSCI is motivated by the government’s transport policy aspirations outlined in the 2019 – 2028 National Transport Policy (NTP). The NTP also acknowledges safety as integral to attainment of the government’s policy aspirations. The ZRSCI which is earmarked to be launched in the second quarter of 2021 is capturing 3, 600 km of the corridors’ carriage way.

MPS ACT TO CURB BORROWING SPREE

N

AIROBI The Treasury will be compelled to seek approval of Parliament before signing any loan contract worth more than Sh1 billion if MPs approve changes to the Public Finance Management Act, 2012.

The National Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) says it was unable to establish who is in charge of the country’s loan book.

“The committee recommends that Section 50 of the PFM Act 2012 should be amended to provide that any borrowing by the national government for a project to the tune of Sh1 billion and above should be approved by the National Assembly before the loan contracts are signed,” PAC said in a report to the House.

The committee tabled its findings and recommendations on the examination of the Auditor-General’s report on the finan-

Chadian leader seeks sixth term

President Idriss Deby Itno at the presidential palace in N’Djamena NDJ’AMENA - Chadian President Idriss Déby Itno, who has ruled since 1990, is gearing up for elections next month.

Victory would give him his sixth mandate as head of state.

During his 30 years in power, Chadians have suffered from extreme poverty, an inadequate healthcare system, poor educational opportunities and high

unemployment rates.

There have been protests, demanding improvement and change, over the years, but Déby has managed to hang on.

Observers argue that he now faces a greater threat to his regime and that the resistance during this election cycle is even more passionate than before.

NEWS IN BRIEF Zuma acted 'maliciously', says lawyer JOHANNESBURG - The State Capture Inquiry wants former President Jacob Zuma to be ordered to pay its legal costs in the contempt case against him, in addition to being jailed for two years.

Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, for the inquiry, told the Constitutional Court yesterday that Zuma was acting with malice. "The utterances that Mr Zuma has made are malicious utterances. He is also acting without any facts," he said. – NEWS24.

Four Tanzanians held for 'mocking' Magufuli's death DAR ES SALAAM - The Tanzanian police are holding four people for allegedly mocking the death of former President John Magufuli.

Police had arrested the four on a street in Mwanjelwa on Saturday with goat soup and traditional beer that they had been preparing, Urlich Matei, the regional police head in the south-west region of Mbeya, told local journalists. – BBC.

African elephants face growing risk of extinction due to poaching - Red List LONDON - African elephants living in forests and savannas are increasingly threatened with extinction, the Red List of species in trouble showed yesterday, as conservationists called for an urgent end to poaching.

cial statements for the National Government for the fiscal year 2017/18.

PAC said the National Treasury was hesitant to fully operationalise the National Public Debt Management Office as provided in Section 62 of the PFM Act, 2012, hence the need to amend the Act to compel it to seek Parliament approval before signing the huge loans.

Currently, the PFM law allows the Treasury to contract new

loans and present a quarterly report to Parliament.

“The committee observed and found that the Auditor-General could not confirm accuracy of the loan balances due to non-disclosures by the National Treasury.

“As a country we do not know our accurate total outstanding loan balance (both domestic and foreign loans),” PAC said.

Section 63 (b) of the PFM Act, 2012 requires that the Public

Debt Management Office maintains a reliable debt database for all loans taken by the national and county governments and their entities including other loans guaranteed by the national government.

The committee chaired by Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi said Kenya has been accumulating public debt at the rate of 20 percent per year over the past five years.

Treasury had earlier projected total public debt to hit Sh7.66 trillion by end of the current financial year in June from Sh6.69 trillion a year earlier, but rise to Sh8.59 trillion in June 2022 and Sh9.37 trillion in the year that follows.

The Treasury in February revealed plans to raise its debt ceiling cap of Sh9 trillion to accommodate gaps in its expenditure needs amid underperforming tax collections.

DON’T MISS OUT

DON’T MISS

2 years ago, today on the 12 of January 2019, you took your last breath and went to be with the Lord in glory. Not a day passes without me thinking about you. It has not been easy, but by His grace we are healing. I continue to thank God for the time we spent with you. The way you lived your life taught us many things, most of all we learnt that it was possible to love unconditionally.

My dearest husband Justin, until we meet again in glory may your soul continue to rest in eternal peace.
