President Lungu to pledges pay for Chama Musonda’s cancer treatment

37


President Lungu was deeply moved by pictures on social media of a brave Kabwe-based young lady, Ms Chama Musonda, who is currently putting up a courageous fight against lung cancer with grit, grace and hope.

A social media post highlighting Ms Chama Musonda’s plight recently circulated on social media. Chama was in her last year in school when she got sick. She is currently in Kabwe Hospice Hospital. She needs K60, 000 for her medication but had only managed to raise K1005.

An appeal was made to well wishers to help in raising money to cover the cost of the medication.

In a facebook post, President Lungu said this was not a fight that we should leave Ms Musonda to fight by herself. He said in the spirit of who we are as a people of faith, and guided by ethos of Ubuntu, he was pledging that he would meet all the medical requirements to cater for Ms Chama Musonda’s treatment – as we all pray for God’s healing mercies.

President Lungu called on Zambians to join him and his family in saying a prayer for Ms Chama Musonda and others in similar situations.He thanked everyone who shared Ms Chama’s story for using Social media to highlight a noble cause.

Kashala Takes Aim At Kamanga’s Conspirators

12

FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala has alleged that a clique of people has ganged up to discredit the Andrew Kamanga led executive committee.

Kashala said a group of FAZ critics think it’s their preserve to run football affairs in Zambia.

“There is too much hatred all we know is that a section of people do not want to see others manage football. It is like some individuals want to think the Football House belongs to them. This is not a family entity or family tree. FAZ is an institution that can be managed by anyone from any part of Zambia,” Kashala has told Radio Icengelo Sports,” Kashala said.

He added: “We can’t be having a pocket of few individuals destabilizing the management of football all because they have vested interest. Kamanga sits at Football House because he was voted into office. We are here today as leaders and tomorrow we will not be here and others will can and sit in.”

Meanwhile, Kashala said FAZ won’t be forced to publish the letter from FIFA that has guided that the stalled elections resume.

The aggrieved part in the FAZ electoral system has challenged Football House to publish the letter from FIFA.

“We receive several letters from FIFA on a daily basis and we do not circulate such communications to the World. There is nothing we can hide, all letters from FIFA are addressed to the General Secretary and I need to protect my office. I can’t get any letter and share it to the world,” Kashala said.

The FAZ electoral process was suspended on March 12, 2020 following a court action by banned member Damiano Mutale.

Rhino sculpture at Longacres razed to pave way for road construction

21

Contractors working on the Longacres Fly Over Bridge have brought down a Rhino sculpture which was one of the most significant contemporary environmental art pieces Lusaka had.

Alexis Phiri of Kachere Arts Studio, the artist behind the Rhino sculpture said he is hurt and disappointed.

Now Mr Phiri has revealed that he is to go into a hunger strike starting on Thursday until the Rhino issue is resolved.

He is also appealing to Lusaka Mayor Miles Sampa for intervention and ensuring that the Rhino is restored to its original form and if need be, relocated to another site for it to continue sending its message.

He said the Rhino sends a message on the need to protect, preserve and appreciate the environment by not polluting it with plastic which is not biodegradable and also reminds the public of the need to protect wildlife.

Mr Phiri said the Rhino was adding beauty to the City of Lusaka.

And another artiste Boyd Chibale who visited the site where the Rhino was based said destroying the sculpture in that manner is the worst kind of irresponsibility, lack of respect for the arts, lack of appreciation of the symbolism in information dissemination.

Mr Chibale said the development also shows a lack appreciation of the need to protect and preserve wildlife and ultimately and show about regard and respect to those who appreciate art of this nature.

“Mr Miles Sampa should intervene. The Ministry of Tourism and Arts should come in so should The Ministry of Local Government and Housing, ZEMA, National Arts Council, artists and all citizens that appreciate nature and arts.”

MMD to have Convention on 20th March

14

The Opposition Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) will have it’s long awaited Convention on the 20th of March 2021.

MMD National Secretary Hon. Elizabeth Chitika said that the Party will have it’s Convention on the 20th of March, 2020.

“Following the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on the 12th of February and in pursuant of Article 57 (1) (a) of the MMD Constitution, I would like to inform the Nation that the MMD will hold it’s Convention on the 20th of March, 2021. As the Mother of Democracy, We have always held regular Conventions as it is enshrined in our party Constipation and is in line with Article 60 of the National Constitution that mandates Political Parties to have regular conventions”, Hon. Chitika said.

Hon. Chitika than said that the MMD Convention is based on Democracy unlike in other parties.

“This Convention will be the 7th and it will be the Mother of all Conventions in Zambia. In this Convention like always in the MMD is founded on true democracy and candidates will vary for actual positions and not vary to belong to the NEC like some named parties”, Hon. Chitika said.

Hon. Chitika than said that all the 68 National Executive Committee positions including that of the President will be up for grabs.

She than invited MMD members to submit the nominations.

“Lastly but not the least, I would like to call upon all MMD paid up members who are in good standing with the party to submit their nominations. The application fee for the President is K5,000, whilst for the two Vice Presidents is K2,500 and NEC members is K1,000. The nomination period will be from the 1st of March and will close at 17 hours on the 10th day of March”, Hon. Chitika said.

The MMD had some leadership wrangles in 2016 when a group of some members held an illegal Convention and created a faction leadership. This faction came to an end when the Courts ruled that they were illegal as that Convention was deemed null and void.

All eyes will be on the Mother of Democracy in Zambia to see if they will have a successful Convention.

CTPD saddened with rise in inflation

14

The Center for Trade Policy and Development (CTPD) has noted with concern the sustained rise in inflation rate over the recent past.

The Inflation rose from 12.5 percent in January 2020 to 21.5 percent in January this year, implying that the cost of presentative consumption bundle has almost doubled in just one year.

CTPD Researcher for Public Finance Wakumelo Mataa recalled in a statement released to ZANIS in Lusaka today that during its last sitting in November 2020, the Bank of Zambia Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) projected inflation to average at 16.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2020.

“However, this is less than the actual inflation outcome for the fourth quarter which averaged 18.1 percent, partly reflecting the accommodative policy stance taken by the committee in the previous quarter on one hand, and the weakening of the Kwacha on the other,” he said.

Mr. Mataa noted that while growth concerns have outweighed inflation worries in recent MPC meetings, the current deliberations should be informed by the heightening effect of the continued rise in inflation on the cost of living and doing business in the economy.

“We remain cognizant of the more relaxed stance taken by the MPC over the recent past, as the policy rate was lowered by 350 basis points in 2020, with a view to stir economic activity and support businesses as they were recovering from the down side effects of the lockdown,” he said.

He observed that although the incidence rate of Covid-19 has spiked in the second wave, there has been a radical shift in the response strategy as businesses have found innovative ways of sustaining their operations amidst the pandemic as opposed to closing down.

Mr. Mataa noted that this, coupled with recent International Monetary Fund (IMF) global growth prospects for 2021, has potential to underpin the improvement in domestic economic activity, thereby allowing BoZ some space to focus more on price stability in the medium term.

The Centre for Trade Policy and Development is a not-for–profit, membership based trade policy and development think tank which was established in 1999 and existed as the civil society trade network CSTNZ, until 2009 when it was rebranded as the Centre for Trade Policy and Development CTPD.

The mandate of CTPD is to influence pro-poor trade and investment reforms at national, regional and multilateral levels as well as facilitate the participation of various stakeholders, including member organizations, in ensuring that trade is used as a tool for poverty eradication.

Government remains committed to regular dialogue with all Agricultural Stakeholders-Katambo

0

Minister of Agriculture Hon. MICHAEL KATAMBO says government remains committed to regular dialogue with all agricultural stakeholders to ensure the growth of the agricultural industry.

Hon. Katambo says the Ministry of Agriculture will endeavour to ensure that all decisions affecting the agricultural industry are made in full consultation with stakeholders in order to reach consensus in a bid to grow the sector.

Speaking in Lusaka during Virtual Consultative Meeting with the Zambia National Farmers Union (ZNFU), Hon. Katambo said President EDGAR LUNGU has offered unwavering support to agriculture and expects a positive transformation of the sector.

He says the President further expects that the Ministry of Agriculture and stakeholders such as ZNFU implement practical measures that will bring positive change in the lives of small, medium and large-scale farmers in the country.

Hon. Katambo says the government’s strategic focus in 2021 is to implement policy and legislative measures targeted at stimulating the growth of various commodity industries.

Hon. Katambo has further encouraged the Farmers’ Union to continue informing the government on issues affecting the agricultural industry.

And ZNFU President Jervis Zimba says the union is optimistic that the country will have a good harvest this year following the crop that has generally performed well.

Mr Zimba says it is encouraging that most farmers across the country have also done very well in crop diversification.

He has applauded the government for taking deliberate steps to have regular dialogue meetings with stakeholders in finding the best way forward to grow the sector.

UPND Government will not be vindictive-HH

45

United Party for National Development(UPND) President Hakainde Hichilema has assured Zambians that his government will not be vindictive, instead, but will take care of everyone.

Speaking after being declared the winner by the retaining officer, Judith Mulenga to offer his thanks to various stakeholders who took part in the assembly, Mr Hichilema said that his party will take care of everyone that are scared at what the party has achieved.

Mr Hichilema thanked the independent Commission for doing its best to ensure that the convention was a success herein Lusaka and those in provinces and also thanked his party for enduring the tough time to conduct the elective assembly. This shows that UPND is capable of doing complicated things.

The convention has further proved that UPND is not a regional party but a national one given the NMC representation.

Commenting on the remarks from the Chairperson, president Hakainde said the constitution for the UPND provides for the correction of the anomalies and inadequacies. He further promised to bring more women and youths in the NMC who will be on equal footing with the elected.

In a message directed at the winners, he urged them to show leadership by reaching out to those that did not make it and endeavor to unite in the party, because only when the UPND family is united, can they serve and unite Zambia. Everyone has a role to play in delivering a better Zambia for all.

President Hakainde further highlighted that no one, should go to bed on an empty stomach in a rich country like Zambia and that his government will prioritize translating wealth in the hands of a few into drugs in hospitals and service delivery to the people.

Yesterday, UPND has elected what it calls an all inclusive National Management Committee during the party’s just ended General Assembly.

President Hakainde Hichilema was elected unopposed as announced by the returning officer Judith Mulenga

Former National Chairperson Mutale Nalumango got 2051 making her the candidate with the highest number of votes with Patrick Mucheleka polling 2020 to get second position.

Contrary to assertions that UPND is a regional party, the outcome of the general assembly that saw Northwestern, Eastern, Muchinga, Northern and Luapula province having the largest representation in the NMC rendered this notion irrelevant.

Southern Province only has six members in the NMC along with Lusaka, Copperbelt and Western Provinces while Luapula, Muchinga, Eastern and Western are represented by 8 members.

Of the 70 NMC members that were elected, 50 are men while 20 are women.

UPND held a peaceful and democratic convention revealing the traits of good governance that the party has always preached about.

The general assembly was incident free and all elected members have been accepted by party members across the country.

The party leadership used the constitution to manage the whole process starting from the nomination of the candidates to the totalling and later announcement of the results.

The general assembly was held under the theme ” Reuniting and Rebuilding Zambia.”

THE election was conducted by an independent body comprising chairperson of the elections committee and returning officer Judith Mulenga with her Vice Chairpersons Pamela Chisanga and Macdonald Chipenzi respectively.

UPND now belongs to all Zambians and is now fully representative

48

By: Col Hamwiinde Munamunungu

For many years scornful people have been all out calling or labeling the UPND as a tribal entity. This was because the Party was led by a Tonga from inception.

I recall that years in history, Nalumino Mundia had formed a political party against the Kaunda led UNIP. That party, UP, was labeled tribal just because Mundia was Lozi. The ULP of Sakwiba Sikota was never considered tribal because it was an annex of the PF and was without teeth to bite.

There are several Bemba led parties in this country than any other ethnically led parties but these are never classified as tribal.

Agreed the UPND has had no General Elective Assembly since 2006 when HH was elected as its second President replacing the late Anderson Mazoka.

This prolonged delay in holding an Assembly was not healthy for the party in its administration and organization.

Many leaders in the National Management Committee were nominees or appointees of the President. These did not enjoy the support of the members of the Party and therefore not accountable to them.

This 2021 General Elective Assembly has remedied the yawning gaps in the establishment of the Party. The party now belongs to all Zambians across the country and therefore fully representative.

Left alone the four day assembly throughout the country was extremely peaceful and orderly. This shows the maturity and discipline of the party members and therefore need to be congratulated for this.

Seventy members have been elected and thirty more are to be nominated by the President to bring the total number to 100.

It’s hoped that the President will again keep his promise to balance the Management by filling in the obvious deficiencies, through more female representation, persons of mixed race, if any or the minorities or persons from special sectors ( like the physically challenged, defense and security, religious, trade unions, civil society organizations, just to mention a few).

This done, we wait to see where tribalism label will come from. We know that tribalism doesn’t mean more Tongas in the NMC but just because the man at the hem of the Party is Tonga.

Going round the breadth and width of Zambia you will find that there’s no tribalism because the various tribes coexist in their villages, compounds, towns and cities without any tribal conflict.

It’s the top management of one Party sowing seeds of discord through allegations of tribalism which doesn’t exist.
We hope that the new management team will start working right away. There is need however to look for those who might be compromised from the word go.

Lusaka decongestion project elates PS

35

Lusaka Province Permanent Secretary Elias Kamanga is impressed with the US$ 289 million road expansion works intended to decongest traffic in the capital city.

Mr. Kamanga said the over 120 kilometres road project will reduce traffic congestion in Lusaka city and boost economic development.

He said the decongestion project is expected to be completed in June 2021 adding that most of the works have been done already.

“The remaining works are the flyover bridge at Long acres and the other one between Cairo and Independence Avenue, ultimately we expect this project to be done by the end of June,” Mr. Kamanga explained.

He noted that the 120.7 kilometres capital project is aimed at addressing the challenges of congestion and enhancing the economic development of the province.

Mr. Kamanga said he was satisfied with the quality and progress of works which will also add beauty to the city while allowing the free flow of traffic.

Meanwhile, motorists in Lusaka have commended government for coming up with such projects which will reduce traffic jam in the city.

Kennedy Michelo, a motorist, said he is able to drive freely because there is not much congestion due to the current good state of the roads.

“We used to take longer hours on the road because of traffic and potholes but now we are driving freely, the roads are excellent,” he said.

Another road user, Aggrison Shikamuni, said he had a feel of the newly rehabilitated roads and expressed happiness with the development.

“I have driven through the Great East road and so far so good, everything is okay,” he noted.

The Lusaka decongestion project was started in 2018 and is due for completion this year.

The project is behind schedule due to the spread of coronavirus which was reported in the country early 2020.

National Pensioners Association Question Government on being Excluded from Pay Rise for Civil Servants

5

The Zambia National Pensioners Association (ZANAPA) is disappointed that its members were left out of the recent pay rise of eight percent awarded to civil servants.

ZANAPA Executive Secretary for Livingstone and Kazungula districts, Patrick Namakando wondered whether the omission was an oversight or due to a policy change by government.

Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Livingstone, Mr. Namakando said previous salary increments awarded to civil servants under the Patriotic Front government usually included pensioners.

He said he was surprised that ZANAPA members were not included in the last pay rise.

He explained that the increment due to pensioners was facilitated by the Ministry of Finance.

“As pensioners, we would like to find out from the Ministry of Finance, why we have been left out, and when we will receive an increment in our monthly pay,” he said.

Mr. Namakando further said omitting pensioners in the latest pay rise made them feel unappreciated and neglected, despite them offering valuable services to the country in their prime.

He has since appealed to government to empower pensioners and retirees in the same manner other groups such as artists were being empowered to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Other groups are being empowered while, we are left out and as a result, we have pensioners and retirees dying of depression. Government should also empower us since we are not spared from the effects of the pandemic,” Mr. Namakando said.

Mr. Namakando stressed that empowerment of retirees and pensioners was an investment for the country and as such, needed to be treated as a priority.

Ministry of Finance Spokesperson Chileshe Kandeta acknowledged receiving a press query over the pensioners’ complaints but did not respond by press time.

Local contractors urged to improve quality of work

4

Northern Province Minister Chungu Bwalya has implored local contractors in the province to exhibit quality workmanship if they are to remain relevant in the construction industry.

Mr Bwalya said the local contractors need to prove that they are capable of delivering quality works if they are to have an impact in the sector.

He added that this will also help them progress and become lead contractors.

The Provincial Minister said this during a meeting with contractors where he also introduced them to newly appointed Northern Province Permanent Secretary Royd Chakaba.

Mr Bwalya expressed confidence that local contractors have the ability to deliver according to expectation, saying, government is also happy with the performance of some local contractors.

”The people of Northern Province want quality works from you and the development can help bring liquidity and drive the economy,” he said.

Mr Bwalya indicated that some local contractors have gained confidence through demonstrations of quality works and timely delivery of projects.

“Government is confident that Zambians have the skills needed to respond to the country’s infrastructure projects. You need to convince the government that you have the muscle to deliver quality works and complete projects on time,” he added.

He observed that if local contractors continue to deliver quality works, more projects will be awarded to them.

Minister Raphael Nakacinda dissolves Western Water Board Company due to irregularities

5

Water Development, Sanitation and Environmental Protection Minister Raphael Nakacinda has dissolved the Western Water and Sanitation Company Board.

The dissolution of the Board is with immediate effect following a number of irregularities noted by the regulator National Water Supply and Sanitation Council (NWASCO).

Mr Nakacinda said inspections of Western Water and Sanitation Company have revealed a collapse in the governance systems and poor performance by management, resulting in deterioration in service delivery.

He explained that among the findings of the inspections were non-adherence to procurement and stores procedures, weak financial controls and compromised internal audit function among others.

“Among the findings of the inspections were non-adherence to procurement and stores procedures, weak financial controls and compromised Internal audit function among others, high Board expenses mainly attributed to travel, Board Interference in management operations and poor adherence to company systems and procedures,” he charged.

Mr Nakacinda has since directed the shareholders to hold an Annual General Meeting to nominate new members to sit on the Board.

And the Minister directed NWASCO to expedite their intervention in order to prevent any further deterioration in the performance of the utility.

Mr Nakacinda further pointed out that the stories circulating on social media implicating the Board Chairperson and his Vice of being corrupt are false and unsubstantiated according to the investigations.

This is contained in the statement availed to ZANIS in Lusaka today by the Ministry of Water Development, Sanitation and Environmental Protection Head of Media Relations Stanslous Ngosa.

Northwestern Province Minister happy with service delivery

0

Northwestern Province Minister Nathaniel Mubukwanu says there is a need to increase the capacity of civil servants to efficiently and effectively deliver services.

Mr. Mubukwanu says the civil service is the engine of any service delivery in the country hence the human resource functions delegated to the provincial committee have greatly helped to address the challenges such as staff confirmations and transfers.

“We are happy to say from the time the committee was formed, so far 215 cases of confirmations have been dealt with and this is a positive result for us as a province and we are proud of it,” he said.

Mr. Mubukwanu has since appealed to the Civil Service Commission to consider devolving additional functions saying the provincial committee is capable of handling any case as can be seen from the timely response in handling people’s concerns.

“I think the more responsibilities we are given, the more answerable we are going to be to the needs of the people we are mandated to save,” he said.

Mr. Mubukwanu said this in Solwezi today when Civil Service Commission vice chairperson, Hillary Chipango, who is leading a delegation of commissioners to monitor and evaluate progress on the delegated human resources management functions, called on him.

And Mr. Chipango said the delegation of functions resonates very well with public service values and principles that require the commission to provide prompt and efficient responses to people’s needs.

“In the last quarter of 2020, the commission was in Northwestern province to establish the human resources management committee and delegate some of the functions and promised that time and again we will be coming through to monitor how far they have gone with these functions,” he said.

He has commended the good works the team is doing in handling human resource cases since the committee was established.

He expressed hope that the delegation of these functions has led to timely decision making as well as promptly and effectively handle cases of confirmation and transfers.

“Currently we have a very positive feedback that quite a huge number of cases such as confirmations have been worked on in the province and this in itself comes from a long circle of processing these cases from districts, province and public service management division.
