Lusaka Province Minister, Bowman Lusambo has summoned Management at a named bar in Rhodespark area, for failure to allegedly pay workers the stipulated minimum wage.
Management at the named bar, is also allegedly mistreating workers.
Mr. Lusambo who made an impromptu visit to the bar last night, warned that government will not tolerate investors mistreating Zambian workers.
He told ZNBC News that reports indicate that management at the Bar offers poor working conditions, which must immediately change.
At the time Mr. Lusambo visited the bar, Senior Management Officials were not available, forcing the Minister to summon them.
However, by broadcast time, Management had not met Mr. Lusambo to iron out the challenges by the workers.
Summons bar owner to do what at hos office? Why cant you refer matters to labour authorities…just wants publicity!!
What made Lusambo go to work at night, at a bar?
Attacking employers under influence of alcohol is no good.
Last time he summoned Police officers …in what capacity? He thinks he is some kind of Headmaster…
Let’s develop this thing! I think HAKAINDE is UNELECTABLE.
He fails to summon the Chinese over poor working conditions & poor salaries. We all know lusambo wants publicity. He has presidential ambitions. He thinks after serving in this corrupt Boma he will become the next president. Ba MMD die hard
Bowman ku Michopo apena!
At such awkward time was he looking for war veterans or whore veterans? Who expects management of any organization during wizard and whore hours?

Its the case of the mother crab telling its child to walk straight, forward.
Govt workers are underpaid, below minimum wage & are paid late. Even Chinese have observed & are underpaying our youths whilst abusing them & insulting them.
Jay Jay he is lusaka province minister without portfolio. This is a ministry similar to religious affairs. Or I think Christian affairs. In these ministries friends of President Lungu are shoved. Yes In these particular posts your job description is to interfere in all other ministries. I hope that clears the air. Thanks
PF Central Committee Spokesperson – there are channels to be followed supposing this is Intercontinental Hotel is he going to summon the CEO or General Manager: labour issues are sensitive matters …why do you think AVIC Managers are not being summoned by Copperbelt Minister.
You don’t go drinking at a bar ….then show up the owners by summoning them to your office to fix them.
What does Bowman know about Labour laws or Human resources ….this is why the country is in an utter mess…this is why there is no separations of powers with these kaponyas..this is why Munir and Kaizer can simply pick up a phone and start shouting at a DC in Solwezi as to them he is a cadre working for PF.
He is a fool, that’s stupid for a minister to do. He has no work. he just wants publicity?? typical ways of bootlickers.
yES PLEASE PAY THE RIGHT WAGES TO YOUR WORKERS , PAY ALL THE STIPULATED TAXES IN ZAMBIA, PAY YOUR RENT , BE COMPLIANT TO ALL STATUTORY LAWS , PAY ALSO KA BRIBE TO POLICE , SEE IF THE BAR OWNER WILL CONTINUE WITH THIS BUSINESS UNLESS HE CHANGED IT TO AN NGO
I thought kambwili was fighting for better conditions of service for AVIC employees and that has ended him in conflict with “the law”. Just saying!!!!
Lusambo also did not want to pay his bar bill just like miles sampa so he had to find a fault in the management so that his bill can be waived.
Let’s roll! Wina HAZALUZA HAGAIN!
let’s roll clean your stinky open pit iwe chi Sharon your sting is causing global warming
Those talking about the labor department are lost just like this department. Officers in this department are very corrupt. One of our workers reported us to the department but instead of punishing us the assigned officer came to advise us on how to counter the claim..of course at feel. So young Lusambo is justified in this case.
You are all rotten then, with out hope of redemption….
No systems that work with everything sangwapo….
Ba Spaka I just love how you defend HH even when he picks a wrong candidate for an important election. I call that blind loyalty.
There are no toilets there at the market the minister and the council inspectors were inspecting. What was the result the inspectors found? And lusaka times ,you talking about the bar ,but you put a picture of the minister at the market.
This is where you see systems that don’t work , hero worship of individuals instead of systems that work. This is synonymous in all failed states.
You find for example cleaning only when a so called president cleans with out putting systems in place…
This lusambo bone head instead of putting systems that work, instructing the Labour office to be pro active just wants to score cheap points….
ahh ba Lusambo kwena just because they refused to give you ka jilijili on credit mwasebana party kakakakakakaka
With Lusambo and Sampa both in Lusaka and both holding high political ambitions it wont be long with the trying to outshine each other with all sorts of political antics.
I am with @ Jay Jay on this one… there should be systems of governance to be followed and not just some minister turning up impromptu unannounced to do a “gotcha”. He is acting on rumours and it is not only unprofessional but it is also a bad precedence.
Is this guy going to police everything and everyone from workers turning up late to work to cops mounting fake checkpoints to underpaying places of work. Why can’t he send his workers… maybe he needs to police those who are supposed to do the job in his own govt. He wants to be the archaic ‘Minister Without Portfolio’.
The same govt forcing small companies to pay minimum wages when govt institutions and parastatals are not paying the new minimum wages to those with minimum wage jobs with them
@number 9, your name is so long I ran out of breath to read your post. But I still agree with you!
We all know it’s a publicity stunt but here’s the thing Mr Bowman, I wish you could take the same stance in your own government, charity begins at home, clean up your office!!
And the China man that was caught on camera catching a dump in drainage in longacres? Were his employers summoned for not providing toilets? Chinese cholera futi
Borman,here I’ll not talk of separation of powers but coordination though in your reasoning you want publicity.All you could have done was just liaise with labour office but humiliated yourself in a bar.
If Lusambo is man enough let him summon AVIC international. If he can’t let him shut up and leave bar owner alone because what AVIC makes cannot be compared to chibuku money. Prove that tauli mwaume wabwalifye nolubuli mu parliament man.
Why can’t you summons AVIC international for mistreating workers? Or maybe you’re afraid Kampyonga he can kick you in head by disturbing his business. Why is it that raw and order is only applied on oppositions ?? Animal farm type of government will be flashed out of power by all cost. Thieves in PF lungu and the entire party smiling corruption
