HE UPND has warned that there will be anarchy in the country should the police arrest its president Mr Hakainde Hichilema today when he appears for questioning.

But Government through Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo has warned the opposition party against causing unnecessary chaos in the country as police are equal to the task and were ready to enforce the law by any means necessary to maintain law and order.

OVER 300 retired workers from Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) have placed caveats on five properties that belong to the Saturnia Regna Pension Fund Registered Trustees to protect their future benefits which are due to them from the KCM Pension Scheme.

One of the retired miners, Brux Ilunga Kasompe said his colleagues were also demanding the production of Title Deeds for all properties that belong to the KCM Pension Scheme because it is no longer part of the Multiemployer Saturnia Regna Pension Fund.

A WITNESS has testified that Ultimate Insurance Company Limited paid Nchito and Nchito Both(over the KCM Pension Advocates US$63,985.99 K1.2 million) for Scheme and the Saturnia undisclosed legal fees.

Actualise recovery programme - Mutati

By SILUMESI MALUMO THE economic recovery programme is in the right direction to revive the economy, but the implementation process will be the main challenge, says Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) president Felix Mutati.

Mr Mutati said despite the ability to put together plans, ideas and programmes for economic reforms, Zambia still had a deficit of plan implementation.

“The biggest challenge which the plan will face will be its implementation process,” he said.

Mr Mutati, who is former Minister of Finance said yesterday that debt and credit worthiness still remained a critical setback in achieving the programme particularly that debt sustainability analysis was yet to be done.

“The ability to put together plans, ideas and programmes is in abundance. Where we have a deficit as a country is in the area of implementing the things and for me this is the biggest challenge the Economic Recovery Plan is going to face,” Mr Mutati said.

He said the objectives of the Economic Recovery Plan recently launched are the same as those put in the “Zambia Plus” including the structural reforms, a programme that was developed at a time he served as minister of Finance.

“If we implement, we could see some semblance of recovery but what is more crucial is that this comes after the ‘Zambia Plus’ that we had and the objectives of the ERP are the same as we had put together in the Zambia Plus.

“But what we were able to do then in our Zambia Plus Programme was to gather implementation momentum,” Mr Mutati said.

He indicated that as part of the implementation of the Zambia Plus, the Farmer Input Support Programme was successfully audited and cleaned up 600, 000 ghost beneficiaries on the register.

I was offered a house, says accused ritual murderer

By GRACE CHAILE-LESOETSA A MAN accused of being a ritual murderer accused has told the court that the police offered him a house and K300, 000 as payment for him to turn into a State witness.

Lewis Chishimba Bwalya,45, a traditional healer said he was twice taken to the Zambia Police Service headquarters where he was offered an opportunity to turn from an accused to a State witness.

In this matter, Zambia Army soldier Lucky Siame, Bwalya, Christopher Kasapo, a ZAF office assistant and Elvis Nyanga, a soldier of Solwezi are facing seven counts of murder which occurred in Lusaka’s Matero Township.

The four are alleged to have murdered Clever Changwe Mwape, William Chela, Elias Phiri, Alex Zulu, Boris Muzumara, Amon Sichamba and Anthony Mwaba between March 5 and April 16, 2016.

When the matter came up for continued defence before High Court Judge Florence Lengalenga, Bwalya denied committing the offences.

Bwalya said on April 17, 2016, he was picked from his house in Lusaka West and taken to Matero Police Station and later to Northmead police station where he spent a night.

He said was taken to Lusaka Central police station where a warn and caution statement was recorded and he denied the charge of murder.

“At Lusaka Central, the

Police told me to work together with them in the investigations.

They said they will show me the suspects who they apprehended so I assist in court. I was told to say that the three suspects came to me to look for medicine for cleansing purposes as they were being haunted by ghosts,” he said.

Bwalya said he refused to heed the instructions and told the Police that he did not know the people in question nor the offences. He said he only knew Kasapo since they were neighbours.

He said between May 29 and 31, 2016, a number of police officers came to pick him from Chimbokaila.

Bwalya said the officer in charge refused to release him until the officers signed in the book as it was not allowed to pick a suspect from prison.

He said he was taken to Police Service headquarters in room five where he was offered chips and a drink by a senior officer.

He said because of the hunger in prison, he did not wait to feast on the food.

“That I should say that the two soldiers, (Siame and Nyanga), were behind the killings in Zingalume. And that government will buy me a house in Kasama and K300, 000. But I refused,” he said.

Bwalya said he was again on June 2 taken to Police Service headquarters but he refused to be a state witness.

It was then that the police described him as a foolish man who was wasting their time.

He denied allegations that the private parts or organs which were removed from the victims were taken to him and sold in US dollars.

Ms Justice Lengalenga adjourned the matter to December 29, 2020 for continuation of defence.

I’LL STAND AS MP - MULENGA SATA

By PETER SICHALI

I WILL contest as Member of Parliament (MP) in the 2021 general elections on a PF ticket if adopted, former State house Minister Mulenga Sata has declared.

Mr Sata has meanwhile expressed confidence that President Edgar Lungu would scoop the 2021 elections.

He said he had been approached by several stakeholders to contest as MP in Lusaka and other constituencies outside the city.

“Intend to stand having been approached by stakeholders in several constituencies in Lusaka, I am currently weighing my options,” Mr Sata said.

Mr Sata said he would make a decision which seat to contest at an appropriate time.

He said some places needed reinforcement than others and would opt to go such a constituency guided by the party leadership.

“The greater interest of the party is at stake and there are some places that need more reinforcement than others,” Mr Sata said.

He was confident that President Lungu

would emerge winner in the 2021 general elections because the party had delivered development across the country.

Mr Sata said Government had performed well despite the shocks brought about by climate change and Covid-19.

“We cannot control external shocks such as climate change and the current Covid-19 pandemic. The best we can do is to mitigate and make adjustments as we shall do in our next term of office,” he said.

Mr Sata said the opposition would not have any chance of forming Government because Zambians were happy with the ruling party’s development agenda.

“PF and ECL are winning the 2021 elections. We have done tremendously in terms of infrastructure development across the country and that what Zambian’s voted for,” Mr Sata said.

Mr Sata who is also PF National Mobilisation Committee member however said the PF would not be complacent but continue campaigning vigorously.

“We cannot afford to be complacent. We still need to campaign vigorously to ensure that we retain all of our seats and gain a foothold in opposition strongholds,” Mr Sata said.

Lusaka resident pays for Luo, late Kasonde

Lungu goes on working holiday

By SILUMESI MALUMO

By NATION REPORTER

A LUSAKA resident George Mwambakakana has paid back to Government salaries and allowances for former Health Minister Joseph Kasonde and Livestock and Fisheries Minister, Nkandu Luo, for illegally staying in office after the dissolution of Parliament.

Dr Kasonde is deceased.

Mr Mwambakakana said after the Constitutional Court directed all former ministers to pay back, he felt duty bound to liquidate the bills for the two.

He said in an interview yesterday that he was prompted to pay for the two because of their hard work when they served.

Mr Mwambakakana said there was nothing sinister for him to take a bold decision to use

By NOEL IYOMBWA TWENTY-FOUR suspected criminals have been nabbed in Lusaka’s John Howard compound in a joint operation conducted by police and the Lusaka City Council (LCC).

The operation which was conducted around 01:00 hours yesterday unearthed an assortment of offensive weapons ranging from axes, knives, machetes, golf sticks and a spear.

Police spokesperson Esther Katongo, said various quantities of marijuana were also found on some of the suspects.

Ms Katongo said the 24 suspects were captured in a filthy bar and restaurant, which was operating without a liquor licence and public health permit contrary to the provisions of the law.

She said the suspects would be charged for being found in possession of offensive weapons and would be handed over to the Drug Enforcement Commission for the drug-related offences.

Mr Katongo identified the

his personal money to pay for the two.

On Thursday last week, he paid K57, 512 for late Dr Kasonde and K58, 681 for Professor Luo. “Their commitment to serve the Zambian people was very inspiring and this made me to liquidate their debt. These people served the country diligently.

“So people should know that there are no strings attached for me to make this bold decision,” he said.

Mr Mwambakakana appealed to the Attorney General Likando Kalaluka to ensure that the two were cleared because their bills had been settled.

He said that Dr Kasonde and Prof Luo were still appearing on the list of those that had not paid.

PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has gone on a working holiday beginning today up to Friday.

The President together with First Lady Esther Lungu are in Nyamvu, Luangwa Valley in Eastern Province for the working holiday.

Special assistant to the president for press and public relations, Isaac Chipampe said the President wishes all citizens God’s blessings and cautions against relaxed Covid-19 measures and traffic rules.

“We urge the public to

continue bringing security concerns in their communities to the Zambia Police Service as such information is cardinal in planning an operation,“ she said.

Ms Katongo said police in Lusaka have in the recent past received numerous complaints from the public in Chawama and surrounding compounds on a rise in criminal activities.

Ms Katongo said the criminals were using a private structure in John Howard where various illegal activities were taking place, hence causing fear in people in the area.

“It is suspected that the structure was harbouring criminals behind a spate of criminal activities experienced in the area and surrounding compounds hence the operation,” she said.

UPND warns of countrywide chaos

From Page 1

According to the summons, Police in Lusaka want Mr Hichilema to help them with investigations on a matter that they have not disclosed to the public. However, there has been speculation within the party that he is wanted over the ownership a farm in Kalomo.

UPND national chairperson Mutale Nalumango said in statement yesterday that Mr. Hichilema was not leading a small party and cannot be pushed around anyhow by the police.

“We wish to warn the police that a further escalation of the scheme to arrest HH will be too costly for the whole country,” warned Ms Nalumango.

She said the party’s national management committee, was aware that the summoning of Mr Hichilema was politically motivated but warned that, the party was not going to sit back and watch the Patriotic Front destroy the democracy and shrink the political space in the country.

Ms Nalumango also claimed the UPND was aware that the police are being used to create flimsy grounds for imposing trumped up charges against Mr Hichilema as a way of intimidating him.

Meanwhile, Government through the Ministry of Home Affairs has expressed displeasure with the manner in which the UPND is

responding to the summoning of Mr Hichilema by Police in Lusaka.

At a press briefing in Lusaka, Mr Kampyongo said that there was nothing extraordinary about police summoning Mr. Hichilema.

He said that it is not the first time in Zambia that a leader of the opposition is being summoned by police to help with investigations in their quest to maintain law and order.

Mr Kampyongo said that the behaviour of some UPND officials of plotting to mobilise thugs to cause chaos when their leader appears before police today will not be entertained by Government.

Mr Hichilema HAKAINDE Hichilema is incapable of ruling the country because of his selfishness, his first cousin Wilfred Hichilema has charged.

Mr Hichilema has since dumped the UPND to join the ruling Patriotic Front (PF).

Addressing the media in Lusaka yesterday, Mr Hichilema said his cousin was too selfishness.

He said his cousin despite being so wealthy had failed to look after his family and wondered how he could manage to run the affairs of the whole country.

Mr Hichilema said the opposition leader was a self-centred person who grabbed his farm and sent him into destitution.

He appealed to Zambians not to trust Mr Hichilema with leadership because doing so would turn the country into chaos as he was a violent person.

"HH has no vision for this country and he is incapable of ruling because he is selfish and a lot of family members are going through difficulties and he has failed to help," he said.

"I urge the Zambians to vote for President Lungu in next year's elections because voting for HH is risky and will plunge the country into problems," Mr Hichilema said.

And asked if he was ready for any repercussions for leaving the UPND, Mr Hichilema said it was his constitutional right to support any political party of his choice.

"I have decided to support the PF because it is my constitutional right and I will not succumb to any intimidation and I will make sure I mobilise the PF in Southern Province to guarantee PF and President Edgar Lungu’s victory.

"UPND will have the shock of their lives after losing next year's elections because they are so sure that they have already won the 2021 polls," Mr Hichilema said. - Smart Eagles

Saturnia properties placed under caveats From Page 1

“We are worried about the security of our benefits and for that reason we have decided to place caveats on the Saturnia properties.

“We were also worried when we saw adverts inviting tenders for the sale of pension properties which are supposed to belong to the pensioners and be held by the pension fund in perpetuity until the last pensioner has died,” he said.

In April 2016, the Pension and Insurance Authority ordered the managers of the Satunria Regna Pension Trust Fund to change Titles to the properties into the legal name of the fund. However, records at the Ministry of Lands still show Saturnia Regna Pension Trust Fund Registered Trustees as the owners of the properties.

Both the KCM Pension Scheme and the Saturnia Regna Pension Trust Fund are managed and administered by Benefits Consulting Services Limited and African Life Financial Services.

The shareholders in both companies are Menel Management Services which is owned by Mr Hakainde Hichilema, Mr Munakupya Hantuba and Mr Valentine Chitalu. Their partner is the Botswana Insurance Fund Managers.

Sanlam Insurance Zambia is a related company whose shareholders are Tiyende Consortium which is owned by Mr Hichilema, Mr Hantuba and Mr Chitalu. The other partner is Sanlam Emerging Markets

which is an investment arm of Anglo American.

Lusaka lawyer Michael Mundashi, State Counsel is listed as a director shareholder and his legal firm is representing BP Zambia (now Puma Energy Zambia) in the pension claim which the Supreme Court of Zambia awarded 236 retired workers.

According to information available to the Daily Nation, the retired miners led by Mr Kasompe, have been demanding to be paid their 100 percent pension benefits for the last two years and recently petitioned the President to intervene in their plight.

“We have decided to place caveats on the properties in order to protect our benefits which are long overdue,” Mr Kasompe said.

He pointed out that all miners who have retired from KCM since have been paid 100 percent of their pension contributions but that his group of 700 miners who retired in 2019 were only refunded their 50 percent contributions.

“We were instead told to sign an agreement to move our pension contributions to Sanlam Insurance Zambia and receive our 50 percent over a period of five to ten years without any interest,” Mr Kasompe said.

He said that the retired miners did not see any logic in moving their money to Sanlam because it was equivalent to financing another company out of their hard earned pension benefits.

Demolish dangerous Alick Nkhata Flyover Bridge - EIZ

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU THE in Lusaka should be demolished because its design will lead to frequent accidents among other pitfalls, the Engineering Institution of Zambia (EIZ) has recommended.

EIZ Registrar and Chief Executive Officer, Linus Chanda, recommended that the bridge be demolished, and a redesigned road section be constructed.

Mr Chanda said the steep slopes of the bridge could lead to frequent accidents while the safety of pedestrians was not addressed.

He said EIZ had reviewed the design and construction of the bridge after an engagement with all stakeholders on the project.

Mr Chanda said EIZ concluded that the space at the

fly over bridge was not sufficient to meet a well-designed structure, which met standard specifications.

“The assessments done prior to undertaking the project do not justify the construction of the Flyover Bridge. The steep slopes of the bridge would lead to frequent accidents.

“The sudden slopes change on the deck of the ramp will eventually affect the integrity of the bridge. The EIZ, therefore recommends that the bridge be demolished, and a new redesigned road section be constructed,” Mr Chanda said.

He indicated that EIZ had received complaints from the general public and Government officials over the bridge about safety, appropriateness and comfort.

Last month, an engineering consultant, Francis

Mukuka, said the Alick Nkhata flyover was a scandal, a death trap and must be removed.

Another engineering consultant, Vitalis Mooya, said contractors should avoid using short cuts in their works because they risked constructing dangerous structures such as the Alick Nkhata Flyover Bridge in Lusaka.

Mr Mooya, a civil engineer with a bias towards construction said what was happening along Alick Nkhata was a scandal.

“Engineering Institute of Zambia has already condemned that bridge. All these roads, bridges there are specifications and standards to follow. If you do not do that, then you experience what you are talking about (demolishing)," Mr Mooya said.

GOVERNMENT has launched a tool which will tackle the accumulation of debt in local authorities, as it reviews the National Authority and Pensions Act to make it less punitive regarding statutory obligations.

The Debt Management Strategy provides a framework for local level borrowing and debt management.

Total combined accumulative debt for all local authorities as at June 30, this year stood at K2.8 billion.

This level of debt is worrying and poses real challenges and risks to local authorities and associated institutions, said Finance Minister, Bwalya Ng’andu yesterday in Lusaka during its launch.

Dr Ng’andu expressed concern that the debt level if not revised was potentially disruptive with far reaching negative consequences such as contributing to general macroeconomic instability and placing a huge financial burden on the Treasury.

Dr Ng’andu explained that the document had been developed to liquidate existing debt, guide future of debt and ensure

debt sustainability as well as enhance debt management capacity.

To support the objectives, he said, some key activities which would be undertaken included reviewing of the NAPSA Act of 2015 to make it less punitive regarding statutory obligations.

As of June 30 this year, statutory obligations debt showed that NAPSA accounted for the largest share at K1.35 billion out the K2.8 billion debt for the local authorities.

Secretary to the Treasury, Fredson Yamba, said his office had been taking particular interest in debt and borrowing in the local authorities.

Mr Yamba said: “We want to ensure that there is a vertical balance across central and local Government levels between their expenditures, responsibilities and revenues.”

Local Government Minister, Charles Banda, said his ministry had engaged LASF, NAPSA and ZRA to liquidate the statutory debt which was key to the implementation of the strategy.

Dr Banda urged local authorities to create the strategy as a tool that would guide how to halt the accumulation of debt and dismantle the existing debt.

ARCHBISHOP MPUNDU IS OPPOSITION Chambeshi SURROGATE - NAKACINDA explains

By NOEL IYOMBWA

Tel: +260 211 243527

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

NO THANK YOU? SAYING thank you in politics appears to be as bitter as taking quinine tablets, especially when it entails doing so to a perceived political sworn enemy.

This is what MMD president Nevers Mumba has shown since his return from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) last week.

Simply put, Dr Mumba is an ungrateful man and that will lead to his downfall.

Dr Mumba has to date chosen not to admit the role that the Zambian government played in having him released from his misadventure that led to his arrest in the Congo DR. The MMD leader, who is an ordained pastor has always preached about morality in politics, but we are yet to see that in practice.

Instead, he went to town thanking foreign dignitaries for their hand in securing his release.

But as a former Vice President and diplomat, he ought to have realised that President Edgar Lungu and his administration were key to his release.

Not that they had a sinister hand in his arrest, but they did what any responsible government would do when any of its citizens was found on the wrong side of the law in a foreign country.

Yesterday, Foreign Affairs Minister, Joe Malanji confirmed what the whole nation suspected to be the truth, but which cynics, including Dr Mumba have been trying hard to hide.

Mr Malanji said Government did its part ensuring that the MMD leader was released from detention in the Congo DR. But he added that the government will not waste time investigating his mission there.

The minister indicated that it was prudent for Government not to indulge in what Dr Mumba was detained for in that country.

“We cannot reach that level to investigate what happened in DRC, we do not want to start dancing to the gallery,” Mr Malanji said.

Government should therefore be lauded for intervening in Dr Mumba’s arrest and have him back home to continue politicking – which he has done so.

Upon his safe return last week, Dr Mumba at a press briefing from Congo DR confirmed that he was apprehended by heavily-armed troops and accused of five treason-related charges by that country’s authorities.

He said that he was arrested by soldiers who were armed with machine guns. Yet, the MMD president had earlier denied reports about his arrest in the neighbouring country.

Although there have been a public outcry that the government should investigate Dr Mumba’s trip to the Congo DR, Government has decided to let the matter rest, that it won’t investigate the incident.

However, we expect political leaders to show some respect to the government of the day when they are bailed out of trouble in foreign countries.

Dr Mumba on this score has failed the morality test for not swallowing his pride and thanking the government of President Lungu for securing his release.

This behaviour is typical of political demagogues.

A

R C H B I S H O P Telesphore Mpundu has reduced himself to a mere surrogate of opposition political organisations, says nominated Member of Parliament Raphael Nakacinda.

Mr Nakacinda said Archbishop Mpundu was playing in the mud of political rhetoric which does not reflect his position in society.

The MP was reacting to claims

by Archbishop Mpundu that the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) is trying to rig the 2021 elections.

“First all when men who are expected to be of high esteem in society become surrogates of opposition political organisations which don’t have a clear ideology or agenda they behave like wild cats that just to make unnecessary noise.

“To suspect that ECZ is trying to rig the elections is a foolish argument. Archbishop Mpundu should not tempt us to talk in a manner that is unZambian especially that he has been a Christian leader.

Mr Nakacinda wondered how

Mr Nakacinda the ECZ would rig elections because once someone registers, no one could determine who they would vote for.

He said that ECZ should be commended because it had done a fantastic job in the voter registration exercise.

Mr Nakacinda advised Archbishop Mpundu to rise above board and help the country to heal and not always trying to divide it.

He observed that the Archbishop had been preaching doom for the country which does not reflect well on his office.

Archbishop Mpundu has been quoted in a local tabloid accusing ECZ of being “thieves” and trying to rig the coming elections by systematically disenfranchising voters.

The Archbishop alleged that the voter registration started in the rainy season which made it difficult for voters especially in rural areas to move.

He claimed that this was done on purpose to reduce the number of voters.

And, Patriotic Front Lusaka Province secretary Kennedy Kamba said the continued attacks on the ECZ by UPNDinclined clergymen was an irrational attempt to cause confusion and provoke the electorates because they know President Edgar Lungu was retaining the Presidency Mr Kamba said the PF was surprised that the respected Archbishop Mpundu had joined the bandwagon of frustrated individuals who were making attempts to discredit the ECZ. In a statement yesterday, Mr Kamba warned the clergyman to stop involving President Lungu and the PF in malicious agenda.

Govt tightens Covid-19 rules enforcement

By SIMON MUNTEMBA GOVERNMENT has warned the public against gathering in large numbers during the festive season to avert the spread of Covid-19 pandemic.

Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo said Zambians should not drop the guard but continue observing health preventive measures against Covid-19.

He said cases of Covid-19 were on the increase in other countries and that should be used as a warning to avoid gathering in large numbers during the festive season.

Mr Kampyongo said at a media briefing in Lusaka yesterday that his ministry would during this festive season work with the

Ministry of Health to ensure that regulations meant to avert the spread of the disease were enforced.

He said joint foot patrols involving the police, local authorities, and Ministry of Health would be conducted indiscriminately.

The minister has also directed the police to work closely with the Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) in providing joint motorised patrols across the country to ensure the travelling public was protected from accidents that can be avoided.

Mr Kampyongo advised motorists to avoid drunk driving which was the main cause of most traffic accidents.

Meanwhile, Mr Kampyongo said Government was aware that

Ms Musunga said she had raised the matter to the Secretary to the Cabinet to consider withdrawing the offer which had remained unpaid for.

According to the Auditor General's report, the ministry had failed to collect revenue from the sale of personal to holder vehicles in line with Cabinet

circular number 6 of 2001.

The circular stipulates that officers allocated personal to holder motor vehicles shall be permitted to buy their respective vehicles on retirement, death or after the lifespan of the vehicle which is five years whichever comes first.

The reports revealed that in 2018 and 2019, 16 officers were sold personal to holder vehicles valued at K519, 172 with a payment period of three months from the date of offer.

Meanwhile, Ms Musunga said the ministry has recovered K399, 712 from 11 tenants at Government Complex in Lusaka.

She said the delay to collect rentals were due to turnover of managers at the Government Complex.

the UPND was mobilising members to cause chaos and instability in the country.

The minister said it was sad that some individuals were planning some unlawful procession with a view of obstructing police from questioning the UPND president Mr Hakainde Hichilema.

He however warned that the police were alert and that all those involved would have themselves to blame should they be arrested.

Mr Kampyongo said Mr Hichilema was not above the law, adding that any individual suspected to have committed a crime should be answerable to the law enforcement organisations without any interference.

collapsed water tank

By PETER SICHALI

CHAMBESHI Water Supply and Sanitation Company has dispelled claims by sections of the media that the collapse of a water tank in Kaputa was due to poor workmanship.

Managing Director,Luckson Simumba said the tank collapsed during tests and that tests were a key process prior to the handover and commissioning of any engineering project.

Mr Simumba said experts are investigating the cause and soon the report would be presented to the company.

He said the water utility firm has since engaged the contractor through the consultant.

Mr Simumba said he had been assured Tomorrow Investment had set in motion an emergency procurement process to get a new water tank.

He said water supply to Kaputa would continue as engineers were working on connecting the water supply network using the adjacent contingency water tank.

Mr Simumba explained that the testing process involved the water treatment plant, the transmission network, the elevated water tank and the water distribution network.

He added that while the other three were in perfect condition, the water tank collapsed during the process.

The Kaputa water reticulation project is a Government-funded project being implemented by Tomorrow Investments as the contractor with ALLiONE Consultants offering the consultancy works.

The project now stands at 90 percent complete and will be commissioned next year.

Zambian DNA warns alarmists

By NATION REPORTER SPREADING falsehoods that President Edgar Lungu is deliberately building two nations where the Bembas and Easterners dominate everything in Zambia is a recipe for anarchy, the Zambian DNA has warned.

Zambian DNA spokesperson, Spuki Mulemwa, said individuals who think that President Lungu was discriminating some ethnic groups, particularly the Tonga were wrong.

Mr Mulemwa was reacting to claims by some opposition UPND sympathizers that President Lungu was creating a nation where Bembas and Easterners dominate.

He said such claims were a recipe for anarchy as they could incite citizens to rise against Government.

Mr Mulemwa said the Head of State was the first

Samfya captures 60, 000 voters

By SIMON MUNTEMBA OVER 60,000 eligible voters have been registered in the just ended voter registration exercise in Samfya District, district registration officer Francis Nkhoma has said.

Mr Nkhoma who is also Samfya Town Council secretary commended the residents for turning up in numbers to register as voters.

He said it was the desire of Government and civic leaderships in district to capture all eligible voters.

According to Samfya Town Council public relations officer, Gwendolyn Mchenga, Mr Nkoma was speaking during the demobilisation of the registration team in the Council chamber.

The team comprised assistant voter registration officers, uniformed staff and transporters. "As district registration officer and speaking on behalf of civic and government leaderships, l wish to commend officers in the field for exemplary conduct in field. "It is also pleasing that ECZ equipment was taken care of well. It is because if your acceptable conduct that the district was able to register over 60 000 eligible voters," Mr Nkhoma said.

He explained that the exercise in the district was conducted in four phases with an extension of four days.

The ECZ has projected to register nine million voters

ever Republican President to have visited several times the then little-known Southern Province’s Dundumwezi constituency.

“We detest the dangerous attempts to create an impression that President Lungu is deliberately building two nations where the Bembas and their cousins Easterners dominate and control everything in Zambia at the exclusion of other tribes.

“This is a tact to influence Zambians to rise against the President and his Government,” he said..

Mr Mulemwa said President Lungu’s Cabinet represents the country’s multi-ethnic society and was alive to the fact that nation-building should promote ethnic inclusiveness at all levels of governance.

“President Lungu is also conscious to the fact that nation-building goes beyond ethnic inclusiveness at Cabinet level. This fact explains why President Lungu has the desire and passion to push the boundaries of ethnicity so as to insulate the nation from its evil poison,” Mr Mulemwa said.

ahead of the general elections in August 12, next year.

And over 54,000 voters have registered in Mpulungu Mpulungu District Electoral Officer Philemon Nyirenda attributed the high numbers of registered voters to concerted efforts that were put in place by stakeholders in the constituency.

And Mr Nyirenda has commended the District Voter Education Committee (DVEC) and Voter Education Facilitators (VEFS) for doing their best in ensuring that the exercise is successful.

He also revealed his office did not receive any complaints about the behavior of the facilitators and the team during the time they spent in the field, adding that it is a plus for the commission.

Mr Nyirenda was speaking during a wrap up meeting for the District Voter Education Committee and Voter Education Facilitators in Mpulungu. “You are a good team because your hard work has shown through the number of voters that have registered in the district,” he said And speaking on behalf of the committee, DVEC chairperson John Chewe thanked the Electoral Officer for giving them an opportunity to work during the exercise.

Mr Chewe said the committee consisted of individuals who understand the importance of the programme and who were willing to work for the benefit of the community.

He said DVEC members trusted the field facilitators and they have shown their loyalty to the community.

ZESCO REDUCES LOADSHEDDING …during festive period

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

Z

ESCO Limited has reduced load-shedding for four hours up to January next year to allow customers enjoy the festive

season.

Customers will now be experiencing only four hours of load shedding starting today to January 2 2021, says ZESCO Public Relations Manager, Hazel Zulu.

Ms Zulu said the decision was prompted by the expected decrease in demand for electricity during the festuve period due to a reduction in industrial activities.

She noted that most companies would be on break, hence

the need to transfer the benefit to residential customers.

“Zesco Limited wishes to inform its esteemed customers and the general public that load shedding hours will be reduced during the festive season,” she said in a statement. The corporation, she said, attached importance to these festive celebrations since it was a time that promoted the social-economic wellbeing of customers.

“We, however, appeal to our

customers to continue employing energy efficient initiatives such as switching off all non-essential appliances, using gas for cooking and solar for lighting to help conserve the available power.

“We advise our customers to report any outages outside their load shedding hours which may be attributed to faults. We take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year,” Ms Zulu said.

Disqualify vulgar politicians, says AVAP

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA THE Anti-Voter Apathy Project (AVAP) has called on Members of Parliament to criminalise tribal sentiments and hate speech uttered by politicians.

AVAP Copperbelt Coordinator Poster Jumbe said Zambians were not interested in listening to derogatory remarks, stating that all they needed was peace.

Mr Jumbe said in Kitwe yesterday that politicians should instead demonstrate that they were ready to improve the living standards of the people through development programmes.

“We want politicians to sell their manifestos to the citizens so that they can choose to vote for whoever they like. If you do not sell your ideas and what you will do to improve the living

standards of the people in the country, no one will vote for you whether you use hate speech or not.

“Politics is all about the competition of ideas and that the people of Zambia have chosen democracy meaning that they will chose the person whose ideas they feel would make a difference,” he said.

Mr Jumbe said that Zambia was a democratic country whose peace must be guaranteed during an election and all the time.

He however said that AVAP was looking forward to a time when the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) criminalized and disqualified vulgar political leaders.

He said that the organization would not find pleasure to see some political parties being disqualified but that it was the only option if things got worse.

Zim short-lists 7 investors for Zisco HARARE - Zimbabwe has provisionally shortlisted seven investors for a majority stake in the Zimbabwe Iron and Steel Company (Ziscosteel), Industry and Commerce Minister Dr Sekai Nzenza has said.

Zisco is 91 percent owned by the Government.

The remaining nine percent is held by Louth Minerals SA (three percent), Tonexin Investments (2.8 percent), Stewarts and Lloyds (Overseas) (1.76 percent), Franconian Investments (081 percent), Amzim Limited (0.75 percent) and Zambia Copper Investment Limited (0.13 percent).

“We have done our due diligence on seven potential investors from Germany, China and Australia but we still have some from India making inquiries,” said Dr Nzenza in an interview yesterday.

Zisco stopped operations in 2008 due to lack of capital to recapitalise and poor management. With its furnaces having capacity to produce up to one million tonnes annually, the company was among Zimbabwe’s major foreign currency earners.

Zisco has been a subject of foreign investor interest in the past. Essar Africa Holdings, a unit of India’s Essar Group, had agreed to invest in Zisco in 2011 during the era of the inclusive Government, but

the deal collapsed in 2015.

This was after a similar deal with another Indian firm, Global Steel Holdings failed to materialise in 2007.

Essar planned to build a new steelworks complex, replacing the antiquated plant. It also planned to export products via a terminal it wanted to build in the port of Beira, Mozambique.

The company was looking into the feasibility of building iron ore and coal terminals at the port of Beira. The other international companies that once showed interest in Zisco include ArcelorMittal South Africa, a unit of the world’s biggest steelmaker and R&F from China.

“Our national steel strategy will be anchored on the revival of Zisco and we are working with all stakeholders such as Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency to realise this goal,” said Dr Nzenza.

Meanwhile, current operations are targeted at raising capital through the sale of waste and boulders, among other activities, while plans are underway to resuscitate the mills to restart the manufacturing processes which are expected to benefit Lancashire Steel.

As such, $2.3 billion has been allocated to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to spearhead the industrialisation thrust. – THE HERALD, Zimbabwe.

U.S. reinstates Sudan’s sovereign immunity, allows funds to pay debt KHARTOUM - The United States on Monday reinstated Sudan’s sovereign immunity, as the U.S. Congress passed legislation formalising the move, following the ending of Sudan’s designation as a state sponsor of terror.

However, the legislation includes an exemption allowing lawsuits by the families of victims of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States already underway in U.S. courts to move forward, although experts say Sudan is unlikely to lose those cases.

The state sponsor of terror designation, which was in place for almost three decades, had weighed on Sudan’s economy and restricted its ability to receive aid. For investors, the reinstating of sovereign immunity removes another layer of financial risk.

Sudan had been engaged in talks with the United States for months, and paid a negotiated $335 million settlement to victims of al-Qaeda attacks on

U.S. embassies in East Africa in 1998 who had been awarded much higher damages by U.S. courts.

The process to release the settlement money and restore Sudan’s sovereign immunity protection against being sued in American courts - had been stalled in the U.S. Congress as it had been tied to the $892 billion coronavirus aid package.

Late on Monday, the wider package was passed in the U.S. Congress after a deal had been worked out in a rare weekend session, and sent to President Donald Trump to sign into law.

According to the bill, Washington will be authorising $111 million to pay off part of Sudan’s bilateral debt, and $120 million to help pay off its debt to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) while making another $700 million available until September 2022 for assistance to the country .– The STANDARD, Kenya.

N

AIROBI – The Ma n u f a c t u rers’ lobby has warned that the move to start taxing small businesses turnover tax will have a huge impact on their business operations.

The Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) now wants the minimum tax abolished or suspended, until when effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has affected the economy, is managed.

The manufacturers argue the introduction of the minimum tax will hurt the economy and reduce Kenya’s attractiveness to investors.

“Introduction of a new tax based on turnover will hurt a company’s financial well-being such as creating cash flow constraints,” noted the manufacturers’ body.

“Minimum tax targets loss-making small companies that already face difficulties in paying taxes, especially with the current Covid-19 impacting businesses negatively.”

The lobby said the tax comes at the height of a pandemic and was not well thought out and should be shelved. Local businesses will start paying a minimum tax starting next month that will be charged at the rate of one per cent of the gross business turnover.

‘WAIVE TAX’

…Spare SMEs from paying turnover tax, says lobby

The charge was introduced in the Finance Act 2020 to boost the government's revenue collection. Among businesses expected to be hardest hit by the taxation are low margin businesses, capital intensive businesses with tax incentives, new businesses, and loss-making companies.

The manufacturers’ body demands that the tax is only applicable after five consecutive years of loss declaration for all companies.

This plea was echoed by Fredrick Ogutu, a lawyer and senior tax consultant at Deloitte East Africa. “Imposing an additional burden in the form of minimum tax on such companies would exacerbate their financial challenges,” he said.

KAM also wants a reduction of the minimum tax rate to 0.25 per cent, in addition to the State allowing for set-off against the future tax, and a statutory definition of the tax.

Exemptions should be al-

lowed for firms such as those that deal with exports, it noted.

“The proposed tax will negatively affect business operations and hamper cash-flow, pushing struggling entities to premature closure leading to loss of jobs and taking the economy into a downward spiral,” KAM says.

“It is highly unlikely that a new business would be profitable in the first few years of operation. Adding a tax burden on an unprofitable business will make Kenya’s economic environment not conducive for start-ups and businesses whose break-even period is longer.”

KAM also says businesses could load the minimum tax to customers, increasing the cost of consumer goods and services- making Kenya uncompetitive in the global market.

The tax will likely lead to capital flight to favourable tax regimes in the region.

Kenya’s manufacturing sector grew at 3.2 percent compared to 4.3 percent growth in 2018. – STANDARD, Kenya.

Beitbridge traffic now queues for up to 15km – with a big coronavirus risk from Covid-19 rules JOHANNESBURG - Stringent Covid-19 regulations – including testing, symptom screenings, and curfews – is being blamed for a traffic jam stretching for kilometres on both sides of the Beitbridge border post between Zimbabwe and South Africa.

Now the backlog may actually be hastening the virus’ spread near Musina, and a super-spreader event cannot be ruled out.

According to reports from law enforcement officials conducting roadblocks just north of Musina, and truck drivers stuck in a stagnant queue of vehicles, the traffic backlog leading to Beitbridge ranges between 10km and 15km, across two lanes.

Frustrated freight truck drivers attempting to pass into Zimbabwe report being stuck at the border for more than 24 hours.

Passenger vehicles, taxis, and busses all battle to edge ahead of the slow-creeping queue.

Many motorists and travellers caught in the December dash are forced to sleep in their vehicles.

While these scenes aren’t unusual during the busy festive season – in 2019, more than 200,000 travellers crossed into Zimbabwe in the week leading up to Christmas – complications arising from Covid-19 protocols are leading to longer delays even while travel is discouraged.

Trucks parked at Beitbridge

Although Beitbridge border is regarded as a 24-hour post, curfews in both Zimbabwe and South Africa have stopped operations between 22:00 and 04:00, with only freight-carrying vehicles allowed through during those hours, while passenger vehicles and pedestrians may not cross.

All people passing through the border post are required to present a negative Covid-19 test which is adding further pressure to the already-burgeoning backlog. Thupeyo Muleya of the Beitbridge Bureau reports that travellers caught up in the traffic jam arrive at the border post with “expired” Covid-19 test results.

South African regulations require all persons to present a negative Covid-19 certificate no older than 72 hours. Travellers argue, however, that due

to delays on the border, these valid certificates, which were acquired before setting out on their journeys, expire before reaching the actual border checks. An expired Covid-19 certificate forces travellers to cough up more money for a roadside resampling, or trip back to a public clinic in Musina – and then travellers have to join the back of the queue again.

The consequences could be deadly, with travellers mingling with little sign of social distancing, and without running water.

And although the situation on the South African side of the border has been noted with serious concern as a potential super-spreader event, Covid-19 risks in the small town of Beitbridge have been described as a “humanitarian crisis.”

Mike Fitzmaurice, the executive director of the Federation of

East and Southern African Road Transport Associations (Fesarta), described the grim condition in an open letter to Health Minister Zweli Mkhize.

Fitzmaurice says there is another dangerous aspect to the situation.

“The bribery and corruption is a huge opportunity (for corrupt officials)… it’s unbelievable what’s going on there right now,” says Fitzmaurice. “They’re even paying health officials to bypass the (Covid-19) test.”

Roadside traders have also started to charge exorbitant prices for goods, knowing that the stuck travellers have few options to acquire food or water, without abandoning their vehicles in search of the nearest store. Fitzmaurice says that motorists, out of desperation, are paying almost R15 for a litre of water. – BUSINESS INSIDER SA.

Programme to empower street children on Dear Editor, WHAT seemed an impossible journey has finally become reality. The removal of street kids from the streets has been something that has been a battle and we as Government still remained determined.

It is pleasing to me as Minister for Sports, Youth and Child Development and also as a parent to see smiles on the faces of these children whose lives seemed to have no destinies on streets about to be transformed.

A week ago, the ministry sent 350 street kids to a Zambia National Service training camp in Katete,. This was done for them to acquire survival skills that will allow them earn a living and improve their standards of life.

On Thursday, l wanted to have an understanding of how the 350 street kids and youths we picked from Lusaka and the Copperbelt are coping and responding to behavioural change lessons and skills trainings they are receiving from officers.

I must confess that I am very impressed with what I found at the facility and I must commend ZNS for a job well done so far.

I am happy that officers here are exercising maximum patience with the kids to ensure that they adapt to their new environment. They are responding well to change and I believe they will come out of this place as responsible young people, ready to contribute to the country’s economic growth.

Furthermore, my ministry has an exit plan for them once they are empowered with these skills. When they complete their training, they will be awarded with certificates and we will not abandon them. We will provide them with start-up tools and materials needed for them to excel in the businesses that will help them put their skills into practice The government of President Edgar Lungu has a lot of confidence in ZNS hence identifying the institution as a reliable partner in the programme of ending streetism and changing the mindset of street children.

God bless the children, God bless the youth, God bless Zambia.

UPND, Zambian Watchdog and their politics of hatred, bitterness and lies Dear Editor,

EMMANUEL MULENGA, Minister of Sports, Youth and Child Development.

We challenge Hichilema to condemn acts of violence Dear Editor, WE have noted with sadness the intolerance and lack of coexistence exhibited towards members of the Patriotic Front and other citizens by UPND cadres in some parts of the country for simply wearing PF regalia.

These acts have gone unpunished, without condemnation and ignored by UPND and in particular it`s president Mr Hakainde Hichilema. As such, we are left with no choice but to conclude that these acts have his blessing.

He has tolerated violence among his cadres on occasions too numerous to mention.

The recent attacks on two members of the PF in Monze are but one of the many incidences of violence perpetrated by UPND cadres. On Saturday December 19, 2020, two brothers were almost killed for wearing PF regalia by UPND cadres around 01.00 hours at a nightclub.

This has again gone without condemnation from the UPND leadership. We wonder why. We challenge the party and its leadership to come forth and condemn such acts as well as handover the perpetrators of such acts to police.

The PF has led the way and on several occasions handed over those breaking the law to Law enforcement Agencies.

SUNDAY CHILUFYA CHANDA, Media Director, Patriotic Front.

LUSAKA CITY FLOODS

Dear Editor,

ON Monday, our city had unprecedented rainfall of over 140ml on the rain gauge, I am told by our Town Clerk, Mr Alex Mwansa.

The average rainfall in the city is normally around 40ml per session.

This instantly filled the city grounds to the brim and more so bearing in mind the city topography is a plateau, a trough.. like a basin from high hilly edges around Chilanga area in the south and Katuba areas in the north leading to water collecting in the baseline from Kanyama, CBD, Kamwala, Mumana area to Mtendere, Salama, Kaunda Square areas.

Many years ago, the flood water would be instantly absorbed or sucked down, contained by spongy dambos that existed between ZNBC towards Parliament and towards UNZA to the correctly named location called Marshlands to Chudleigh down to Foxdale or Meanwood Mutumbi area.

These swamps unfortunately have over the years been transformed into concrete structures.. buildings... some if not most illegal but some legal.

Yes, approved by the council or the governments of the day from over 20 years ago but suffice to say don’t know why they did so as I was not there and not party of to have attempted to stop them.

I am however much alive to the saying “pianago apyana namabala” which means “he who inherits, takes over both the good and the bad of that seat or throne (mayoral).”

So the problem of floods mainly due to blocked natural soak away and natural draining city paths is now my problem also and unfortunately I should take responsibility for the past human errors at LCC and beyond.

What have we been doing since the last rain season to mitigate floods?

1. Cleaning of drainages especially

the Bombay main drainage line that collects and drains water from the south to the north end of the entire city. I must say the Bombay drainage played its intended role as can be seen from a video clip with massive volume of water flowing in extreme fast speed. It could have been worse without the Bombay drainage constructed in the last 10 years at a cost of around $30 million courtesy of the American government via the Millennium Challenge programme.

2. LCC has also been demolishing some illegal structures built around the Bombay drainage and elsewhere like in Salama and Munali areas.

3. LCC has in the past one year since the last rains unblocked the outer points of the underground drainage system in CBD. 4. LCC has bought a water pumping truck to help suck out water especially from inside homes when it happens. We needed and still need more if our resource base allowed.

WHAT ARE WE DOING TODAY. IMMEDIATE MEASURES 1. The rains of yesterday calls for immediate humanitarian support to some most affected homes. Our Town Clerk is meeting up with the Disaster Mitigating Management Unit (DMMU) for possible immediate logistical support to victims of the unprecedented rainfall.

2. I have asked the Town Clerk to engage Afcon Contractors working on the Lusaka Decongestion project to prioretise and recheck the drainages along all their road works that I must mention have not yet been handed back to LCC to manage.

3. We will be enhancing our sensitisation programme to residents on safety measures to undertake in such flood time and more so remind

them to the pending dangers or the Cholera disease following such heavy rains.

4. We will be loud on media and door to door reminding residents especially in highly densely populated areas not to drink shallow well water as it is likely to mix with dirt underground. Such water should first be boiled if it has to be drunk.

5. Remind residents to observe cleanliness at all time by not throwing litter anyhow and also wash hands frequently with soap at all times.

LONG TERM SOLUTION TO CITY FLOODS This requires a huge capital project to redo the entire city floods drainage system that would include two more types of Bombay Drainage systems on the far east and west of the city.

The cost herein would be around $300m and evidently beyond the financial capacity muscle of the council. We shall therefore continue to engage the central government and the donor community for support in the floods conundrum.

Many thanks for all your involvement and it’s never been any louder that something need to be done about the Lusaka floods sooner than later.

We all cannot continue looking at it as Business As Usual (BAU) year in year out doing nothing about it but expecting and hoping the rains won’t cause floods. It’s always likely and going to happen and more so that it has been and now also happening in other African countries like Mozambique and other parts of the world.

Climate change is real.

We have to prioritise investing in new bulk city drainage systems.

MILES B SAMPA, Mayor, City of Lusaka.

IN a true fashion of their inherently politics of hatred and bitterness the UPND through their media outlet, Zambian Watchdog are circulating an old video of myself with a very misleading caption purporting that I and the PF are planning to kill Mr. Hakainde Hichilema.

First, I want to put it on record that neither I nor PF are planning any ill on Mr. Hichilema. No one wants him dead. Of what value will the death of Mr. Hichilema bring to me or the PF? For the record, I have nothing personal against Mr. Hichilema. Our differences are purely political.

I have known and worked with Mr. Hichilema for years.

In fact, when Mr. Hichilema joined politics in 2006, he found me in UPND and I was very instrumental to his ascendancy to the office of UPND Presidency.

I have done a lot of things for Mr. Hichilema which I am not interested to reveal here. To me he is nothing but a brother whom I strongly differ with politically and not personally.

My message in the video is very clear and is based on the law and not on personal hatred or ill feelings towards Mr. Hichilema. According to the Constitution of Zambia, treason is punishable by death.

That is not me, it is the law. So if anyone has a problem with that, they must deal with the law and not myself.

It is clear that UPND has nothing to offer; they have no message, no manifesto so the only thing they spread is hatred, malice, lies and bitterness. They are petty and dangerous.

NDOLA Central Member of Parliament, Emmanuel Mulenga, is happy that Government has increased the number of secondary schools in his constituency.

Mr Mulenga said this has enabled more learners to have access to secondary education.

The MP said before Mr Mulenga 2016, Ndola Central only had Kansenshi and Chifubu secondary schools providing secondary education.

Mr Mulenga was speaking government had made when he inspected progress sure that at least a 1 by 3 of works at a Constituency classroom block is erected.

‘GIVE HH THE RESPECT HE DESERVES’

By ROGERS KALERO

T

HE summoning of the UPND president by the police was one of the antics which the PF was using to intimidate Mr Hakainde Hichilema and the party, UPND Copperbelt information and publicity secretary Lawrence Mwanza has said.

Mr Mwanza warned that the opposition party leader would not be intimidated.

He said the summoning of Mr Hichilema was meant to instill fear in the UPND ahead of the 2021 elections "We will not be intimidated

by PF tactics. Let the country know that the summoning of HH by Police is nothing but

meant to instill fear in UPND as we go to the 2021 polls.

What has HH done to warrant police summons?

"Going forward, each time you summon HH, you would have summoned the entire UPND membership because there is no law which forbids people from rallying behind their leader,'' Mr Mwanza said. He added: ''Let the PF and police know that the HH they knew yesterday is not the same today. HH is the incoming President of Zambia and therefore should be given the respect he deserves. The UPND as a party will defend as president using whatever means available this time around.”

Mr Mwanza urged all UPND members to travel to Lusaka to offer solidarity to

their leader because the PF was determined to ensure that the UPND leader does not appear on the ballot.

“We therefore call on all our members to find themselves in Lusaka to offer solidarity and defend HH because we know that the PF is determined to ensure our President does not appear on the ballot,’’

"We therefore call on all our members to find themselves in Lusaka to offer solidarity and defend HH because we know that the PF is determined to ensure our President does not appear on the ballot,'' he said He said the UPND would

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA THE Kitwe City Council will this week bury 11 unclaimed bodies after a request by the Kitwe Teaching Hospital (KTH).

not tolerate the ranting from PF Copperbelt chairman Nathan Chanda, Lusaka Province Minister, Bowman Lusambo, and other PF leaders "Mr Lusambo must accept the fact that Copperbelt is no longer a PF stronghold and that people are eagerly waiting to usher in UPND in government. This is a fact which makes Lusambo and Chanda to spend sleepless nights. This is evident by their hallucinations each time they open their mouth.

"The UPND takes great exception to the insults showered on the Copperbelt Provincial Chairman Mr Matambo by Lusambo just for expressing solidarity with the incoming President HH following his summoning by police,'' he said.

Kitwe Teaching Hospital on November 26, 2020 requesting the burial of the unclaimed bodies and the council gave members of the general public a 14 day notice of which has elapsed," she said.

Ms Mwamba expressed disappointment with the growing failure to claim bodies of the deceased by some family members.

Manager Mwamba said Dates for Chola Advertisement the burial of the bodies would Monday 21stinDecember, 2020 be done accordance with section nd 27(d) of the Public Tuesday 22 December, 2020 Health Act, chapter 295 of the laws of Zambia.

New Kazungula Border taxi rank coming

By ANDREW MUKOMA THE Livingstone City Council is seeking for partnership with investors to put up a new Kazungula Border taxi rank at the Intercity Bus Terminus.

Taxi drivers led by Victor Mwela of Mwevic Tours had requested the local authority to establish a new Kazungula Border taxi rank, charging that the current one was ‘politically inclined.’

In a letter dated December 15, 2020 addressed, acting Town Clerk Liftrey Ndaba said that the establishment of taxi rank goes with certain requirements which the local authority was seeking to address before such a decision is executed.

Mr Ndaba saidd that the local authority was planning to establish a taxi rank for both Kazungula and Victoria Falls border routes.

He said, therefore, that Mr

Mwela’s request was under consideration once partners come on board.

“The local authority has a legal framework to provide services and guide development within the area of its jurisdiction; opening of a taxi rank for instance requires that the taxi operators and the traveling public are provided with basic facilities like a shelter, toilets and clean water,” he said.

Mr Ndaba said that the council had reserved land near the new modern bus station and was currently seeking development partners to fund the project.

He said that once that was done, the taxi rank would cater for taxi operations for Kazungula and Victoria Falls areas.

“Further, the issue raised of political interference at any Council Taxi Rank is not acceptable and hence, investigations have been instituted against the Kazungula Taxi Rank in town and all those found wanting will be dealt with according to the provisions of the law,” he said.

PF DECRIES VOTER REGISTRATION GLITCHES

By ANDREW MUKOMA

T

HE ruling Patriotic Front (PF) in Livingstone Constituency has described the just ended voter registration exercise by the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) as a process which was faced with challenges.

Constituency Chairman, Thomas Kabanda, observed that the exercise had a number of glitches which disturbed the process.

Mr Kabanda charged that as a result of the challenges the exercise had, Livingstone Constituency failed to surpass the 2016 registered number of voters of 84, 109. During the just ended voter registration, Livingstone only managed to record 80, 403 out of a target of between 95,000 and 120, 000 going by growing population the tourist capital has seen. This shows a shortfall of 3, 706 registered voters in 2020 to beat the 2016 record.

However, Mr Kabanda was optimistic that out of the registered voters number,

80 per cent of people will cast their votes. Mr Kabanda was speaking when he and Constituency Youth Chairman Ikuka Muleta, mobilization committee member Lutangu Fwanyanga featured on a live programme on Radio

Mosi-oa-tunya yesterday.

He was hopeful that the ECZ has learnt something from the ended exercise.

Meanwhile, Mr Kabanda declared the ruling party ready for the January 4, 2021 Maramba Ward by-election.

He said this was because of the quality of its candidate Florence Lungowe Samasumo who the party has adopted to contest the seat which fell vacant after the resignation of former UPND Councilor Moses Simbaya.

Solwezi airport land secured PF digging

own grave, says UPND

By JACKSON MAPAPAYI

LAND wrangles involving the Solwezi Municipal Council and some individuals and churches that have built around airport land will soon end.

This follows the acquiring of a land title by the National Airport Corporation (NAC).

A number of individuals and churches have built around the airport, compromising the safety of the facility.

This came to light when Civil Aviation Agency (CAA) called on North-Western Province Deputy Permanent Secretary Emmanuel Chihili last week.

CAA acting chairperson, Patrick Nswana, said that following the acquiring of a land title, all those that have built around the airport will have to be relocated to other areas.

He said this is for their own safety and that of the airport in an event that there is a mishap of an aircraft.

"However, they need to be engaged in a manner that does not bring a lot of dispute while considering the fact that the title is superior than any other document.

“So, I am appealing to the local authority to find these people alternative land, unless they have titles also," he said.

He said this should be of priority hence the need to relocate them.

"Imagine there is a mishap on an aircraft and rams into a fully packed church, we will all be blamed starting with us the regulators. And you know that any aircraft mishap is not like a

By JACKSON MAPAPAYI

Mr Chihili car accident, it attracts the international community which at the end of the day even as a country we will be surcharged," he said.

CAA Director General, Gabriel Lesa, emphasised that the two churches that are right on the flight path must be relocated immediately.

Mr Lesa said since alternative land has already been found for them, they have to leave the area.

Meanwhile, Mr Chihili has expressed happiness now that the airport has land title.

He however appealed to NAC to expedite the process of acquiring land titles for other airstrips and drones in the province.

In yesterday’s issue we inadvertently used Mr Adamson Sapezo’s picture instead of Mr Emmanuel Chihili (above). EDITOR

THE summoning of Hakainde Hichilema by police is one way the Patriotic Front (PF) is digging its own grave, the UPND in North-Western Province has charged.

UPND provincial vice chairperson for politics, Stafford Mulusa, said the party was aware that the summoning of their leader was a PF gimmick meant to bar Mr Hichilema to contest next year's general elections.

He said raising trumped up charges against Mr Hichilema was a sign of desperation by the PF because the ruling party feared competition.

Mr Mulusa who is also Solwezi Central Member of Parliament however said such maneuvers were a blessing in disguise as they were making Mr Hichilema more popular.

"This is their downfall and this, they should keep in mind.

But one thing I want to state here is that we are in a democratic dispensation where we need to be objective in the way we handle political issues than abusing the police," he said.

Mr Mulusa said police should be left to carry out their duties professionally than forcing them to execute operations on political lines.

SA FINALLY MAKES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED COVAX EU Commission DOWN PAYMENT TO SECURE VACCINES recommends lifting blanket UK travel bans BRUSSELS -The European Commission recommended on Tuesday that travel bans imposed by EU countries on Britain to contain a new variant of the coronavirus should end to allow freight and essential travel to resume and let people return home.

The recommendation, to be put to EU ambassadors later on Tuesday, advised that nonessential travel to and from Britain should be discouraged.

However, people heading to their country of residence should be allowed to do so, provided they undergo a COVID-19 test or quarantine for 10 days, the Commission said.

“Blanket travel bans should not prevent thousands of EU and UK citizens from returning to their homes,” European Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders said in a statement.

The recommendations are designed to set common rules within the EU and the ambassadors will consider adopting them on Tuesday.

However, border controls are

governed by national policy, so each EU country can have its own rules.

Essential travellers, such as medical staff, should be required to undergo a test prior to departure, but should not be required to quarantine, the EU executive recommended.

Transport staff within the EU, including truck drivers, should be exempted from any travel ban and from testing and quarantine requirements.

If an EU country demands rapid antigen tests from transport workers coming from Britain this should not lead to transport disruption, the Commission said.

From Jan. 1, with the end of the Brexit transition period, only essential travel would be allowed from Britain unless Britain were added to an EU “safe country” list, which is currently composed of just eight countries.

This limitation would not apply to UK nationals who are residents in the EU or EU nationals resident in Britain.

OHANNESBURG - South Africa has finally made its down payment for the Covax vaccine programme, after missing the payment more than once, leading to public outcry.

Earlier this week Minister of Health Zweli Mkhize attributed the delays to administrative issues.

South Africa has been battling with a second wave of Covid-19

cases, reporting 8, 789 cases on Monday, bringing the total number of infections to 930, 711 since the beginning of the outbreak.

On Tuesday the National Department of Health together with the Solidarity Fund announced the country’s down payment of R283 million to international vaccine alliance, Gavi.

The payment is 15 percent of the vaccine programme’s total cost and will enable 10 percent

of South Africans (six million people) to be vaccinated.

Meanwhile, at least five countries have suspended flights from South Africa after a coronavirus variant was recently discovered in the country.

Germany, Turkey, Israel, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia are among the countries that have announced the banning of such flights to prevent the spread of a variant of the SARS-COV-2 virus

Nkana want FIFA LODGES CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT SEPP BLATTER outright victory FIFA has lodged a criminal complaint against former president Sepp Blatter over the finances of a museum in Zurich, Switzerland.

The complaint relates to the involvement of Blatter and other former officials in the Fifa museum project.

It is the latest allegation of financial impropriety against Blatter, who resigned from his post as president in 2015 amid a corruption scandal.

The 84-year-old has always denied any wrongdoing.

Fifa, football’s world governing body, say Blatter’s previous administration cost them 500m Swiss francs (£420m) to renovate “a building that the organisation doesn’t own,” while also “locking itself into a long-term rental agreement on unfavourable terms.”

“Given the massive costs associated with this museum, as well as the general way of working of the previous Fifa management, a forensic audit was conducted to find out what really happened here,” said Alasdair Bell, Fifa’s deputy secretary general (administration).

TAMMY Abraham scored twice as Chelsea ended their recent mini-slump by beating West Ham United at Stamford Bridge to move up to fifth in the Premier League.

Back-to-back defeats had seen the Blues slip down the table but they made the ideal start on Monday as Thiago Silva powered home a header in the 10th minute.

Timo Werner spurned a couple of good chances to add to the hosts’ lead but he played his part in his side’s second 12 minutes from time as his scuffed shot was

“That audit revealed a wide range of suspicious circumstances and management failures, some of which may be criminal in nature and need to be properly investigated by the relevant authorities.

“We came to the conclusion that we had no choice other than to report the case to state prosecutors, not least because the current management of Fifa also has fiduciary responsibilities to the organisation and we intend to live up to them, even if those before us dismally failed to.”

The complaint has been sent to the Zurich prosecutor, and Fifa says it will “continue to cooperate with the authorities in Switzerland and elsewhere so that those people who damaged football are held accountable for their actions.”

The museum project began in 2013, two years before Blatter, who was Fifa president for 17 years, announced his resignation.

In response, Blatter’s lawyer Lorenz Erni, says Fifa’s accusations are “baseless and vehemently repudiated.”

Blatter is currently serving a six-year ban from all forms of football. – BBC.

Abraham scores twice as Chelsea beat Hammers turned in by Abraham.

The Chelsea striker, back in the side in place of Olivier Giraud, then netted another barely two minutes later when he was in the right place to pick up the loose ball and curl home after Christian Pulisic had missed a simple header from a cross.

The scoreline somewhat flattered Chelsea with West Ham having been the better side for large periods, but the visitors paid

the price for a lack of a cutting edge as they finished the game without a shot on target.

Victory means Chelsea have 25 points - one behind fourth-placed Everton - while West Ham remain 10th on 21 points.

“We’d dropped off slightly and it was important in this game we came back,” said Chelsea boss Frank Lampard. “There were loads of things for the team to show their character - we want

more.”

An ankle injury to left-back Ben Chilwell, which saw him come off early in the game, was a minor blemish on the evening for Lampard, who also has right-back Reece James out with a knee problem.

“We hope both their injuries are not that bad and they will be in and around it for those Christmas fixtures,” he said.

– BBC.

“We are targeting to probably get an outright victory and hope that we keep a clean sheet and try as much as we can to defend to avoid the opponents getting an away goal but football being what it is, what is important is for us to get a victory and see how best we can close up the game,” he said.

Meanwhile, Green Eagles coach Aggrey Chiyangi said preparations have progressed well for today’s CAF Confederations Cup game against Coton Sport FC from Cameroon.

Chiyangi said he is not worried with the players’ fitness levels having been playing some games in the local Super

Division.

Chiyangi said the technical bench has psyched the players on how to approach the game which is also a must-win for the ZNS-sponsored side to make it to make it to the group stage of the CAF Confederations Cup for a second consecutive season.

And Coton Sport FC coach Souleymanou Aboubakar said his team is used to play the Champions League and was focusing on getting a positive result against their Zambian opponents.

After playing Eagles at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka, Coton Sport will host the Zambian envoys on January 6 at Roumdé Adjia Stadium in Garoua, Cameroon.

Advantage lost?

(From page 16)

With NAPSA failing to find the back of the net after 59 minutes of play, Fathi introduced 2012 AFCON winner Mayuka who replaced Burundian striker Mavugo while striker Chanda Mushili came in for midfielder Austin Banda.

The home side continued pressing with Silavwe coming close to scoring in the 72 minute but his shot went wide as the game ended 0-0 after the final whistle.
