The Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation (ZESCO) has expressed disappointment at reports that some ZESCO employees were charging consumers to install pre-paid meters at their residence.
ZESCO Public Relations Officer Lucy Zimba told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka today that it is unacceptable and criminal to charge residents for a service that does not attract a fee.
Mrs. Zimba explained that installation of pre-paid electricity meters was a free exercise hence employees asking to be paid for the service were liable to prosecution.
She said ZESCO management was saddened that some corrupt elements were bent on tarnishing the image of the firm through such criminal acts.
Mrs. Zimba appealed to members of the public to report any ZESCO employee demanding to be paid for installation of pre-paid meters.
She was commenting on complaints from some Lusaka residents that some unscrupulous ZESCO employees were demanding to be paid for installing pre-paid meters.

thats how it is pa zed
Nichekeleko! We are even used. We die a little for everything in Zambia.
Look them up and through the keys, but this includes are the fats cats aswell. Start with the Ministers who are getting away with murder.
thats just one of the many illigal things those greedy Zesco workers do. Please look into the others too e,g overchaging, illigal tempering with meters, etc
There are too many thieves in Zambia!
Zesco should counter check the names of the people assigned to install the prepaid – meters to homes of those complaining. That will help to make their work easier against the culprits. But finding evidence of them demanding money for the work may be difficult.
Zed, the real Africa!!
I blame Zesco management for not informing the public.pa zambia yali zanda even me i can take advantage of that, charge them for installation.
They can see what “ama bosses” are doing, so what do you expect?
#5 We can
Check out “The Obama Deception” on google.
What do you expect? When you are in Rome do what Romans do.
IF Bosses Can F.u.c. k up the junior chaps can do the same. Start be removing R. Tudila Banda first.

I have read it and watched the nonsense.
The writer of that story is a naive guy. First he disqualifies all the other media and thinks he is the one right. It is his opinion, but he has no evidence for any of those things. We have a lot of those in the world! He is good at creating horror movies!
The whole story is only similar to saying “The Vatican is the Beast “!!!!
Please state one nonsesnse from it.
Talking about media, do you know Ruppert Murdock?
#12 We can

12, this is the work of the Nazis or the Racsits who can stand to see a black many doing so well, i just read the first few lines and kinda knew what was comming. These pipo cant accept the fact that Obama is not only a black, but good looking , handsome, the real deal. I am proud to be black, i dont care what they say about On Obama. Go to Timbaktu, thats were civilisation begun., and it is in Africa, what does that tell you about Africa.
Vikali kuba.Its now normal pa zed. wat do u expect under a corrupt Government?

He talks about plantations and slavery . The question is where are those things? He is not a prophet to tell the future; If he were he could say he has being sent by God. He says he advocates for freedom. While — Obama is a good example of freedom!
Ruppert Murdock, owns Fox News and NY Post e.c.t of course. But I can assure you he cannot foretell the future.
#12 WE CAN, find time to read “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” by John Perkin. What that documentary says is more less the same but that book tells it more at the level of why they do it, and how they end up being hooked.
I can also do the same except i would do a damn good neat job and then say, shani ko iya kabwali boss! Ni mbomba sana.
Mrs Lucy Zimba is just covering up the mes up by her felos. These guys at Zesco are corrupt and charge pipo for illigal connections and construction of power lines. This so called criminal activities by Zesco employees is caused by RED TAPE. Even after paying for a new installation it takes long for one to be connected hence one is tempted to pay something to these employees. It becomes difficult to report as these chaps tell you straight ” You wait till kongdom come”. So Lucy you not dealing with children mama. Tell other things.

I like films, but they will never rule me, they will never determine my destiny.
I am a X’ tian but I don’t believe that The Passion of Christ is a real representation of Christ’s suffering; what more some other wildly movies!
Movies are man’s fantasies and imaginations!
People do documentaries for business. If you want the TRUTH read the BIBLE.

The fact of the matter is that you are FAILING to get the wood out of the tree!
These personal attacks on Barrack will never work.
You don’t want to get advice from Obama, but you want one from RB… surprising!

Please tell me: who is your role model ?
Whats up with all the alex jones conspiracy madmen coming out in full force all of a sudden. How does a grown up take another man’s opinions as fact
But these chaps always give an impression that there are no pre paid meters in stock,kanshi they are hidding them in the back seats of their utility vehicles.
Anyway Zesco, you need to issue a comprehensive statement to the public and inform us when these meters are available …….
LT! Ati shani? My comment was a bit too short?? Try again?? Efinshi ifyo! Since when did you want long comments? When they are long, ati, “comment awaiting moderation”. I will repeat my comment. NO COMMENT!!!
