The opposition FDD has described agriculture Minister Given Lubinda as a failed project who should be fired for failing to run the agriculture sector of the country.
Speaking in an interview FDD Spokesperson Antonio Mwanza said Mr Lubinda has continued giving Zambians statistics of the commodity when what they need is affordable mealies meal.
“The persistent shortage of mealie meal and escalating prices of the commodity poses a serious national security challenge that needs immediate government intervention. I’m speaking to you from Chipata and I can tell you right now that if you go to Shoprite Chipata you will not find even a single bag of mealie meal. Chipata Shoprite has completely run dry and we have people going from one point to the other looking for the commodity. The situation is grave and there is need for government to quickly put up mitigation measures and ensure that the situation normalises.
“We find it very disappointing that while people are queuing for the commodity across the country hon Given Lubinda wants to simplify the situation by giving us statistics instead of giving us solutions. The Minister of agriculture says we have enough maize in stoke to last for the next three months, that is not what we need. The people of Zambia want to have access to mealie meal and have access to mealie meal going at affordable prices. We do not want statistics we want solutions from the minister of agriculture,” he said.
He added “And his Excellency the President as to be very wary because issues of food are a matter of national security. We do not want to see the situation that we saw in the late 90s when they were food riots because of shortage mealie meal.
This situation if it is not dealt with now it will degenerate into complete chaos and civil strife. Our advise to his Excellency is to fire the minister of agriculture as he has failed to ensure that this country has enough food and that this country has food to export and have an increased turn over of foreign exchange so that we can deal with the issues of inflation and deal with the issues of devaluation of the kwacha.”
He said President Lungu should stop hanging on to dead wood and that the President should be wary of the continued mealie meal shortages as it can be a source of civil strife.
“There is no need for the President to continue holding on to dead wood Mr Lubinda is a failed project. He has failed to provide farming inputs to the farmers and now he is failing to ensure that is country has enough food.
The president has to avert the crisis by taking remedial decisive measures that measure is to fire hon Given Lubinda ensure that the food reserve agency is instructed to offload the maize to the Millers. work on the key issues that have raised the production cost that is the continued load -shedding and other related costs,” he said
Vice President Inonge Wina says government has continued with its programme of fostering development in all parts of the country with impartiality.
Mrs. Wina said this on arrival at Mansa Airport in Luapula province today.
She said Luapula province has equally benefited in not only the road but also in education and health sector infrastructure development.
Mrs. Wina has meanwhile urged the people in Luapula province to take advantage of the abundant waters that the region has to enhance fish farming.
She said government was determined to support small scale farmers and since prioritised agriculture in its development plan.
She noted that the people in the area should therefore take advantage of government’s support of the agriculture sector.
The Vice President is in Luapula province on a four day tour during which she will inspect projects being implemented by government.
She was today scheduled to inspect the Chipungu border in Chiengi district, followed by the handover ceremony of solar water geysers to St. Paul’s mission hospital.
THE Prisons Service has bemoaned the overcrowding of the correctional centres in Eastern Province.
Acting Prison Commanding Officer Alex Chibale told High Court Judge Gertrude Chawatama during the official opening of the Chipata High Court session yesterday that the correctional centres also known as prisons in the province were 80 percent overcrowded.
Superintendent Chibale said the correctional facilities were built for smaller inmates but were currently overcrowded.
“The correctional facilities in the province are 80 percent overcrowded and these were constructed for the smaller inmates but are overcrowded,” he said.
Mr Chibale said the correctional centres in the province were currently holding 2,045 inmates.
As at 09:00 hours, Chipata correctional centre had 960 inmates, Katete correctional centre 259 inmates, Petauke correctional centre 290 inmates, Nyimba correctional centre 218 inmates and Lundazi correctional centre 318 inmates respectively.
He explained that situation in all the correctional centres was calm despite facing the challenges with lack of adequate staffs at Chipata Correctional centre.
He said Chipata Correctional Centre had a staffing level of 47 instead of the 160 officers thereby stressing the officers who were at the centre.
Mr Chibale said correctional centre which was known as Namuseche was also facing the challenge with transport.
He said it was posing security risks to transport inmates serving long sentences to either Mukobeko Correctional Centre or Mwembeshi Correctional Centre.
He also said both inmates and correctional staffs were facing the biggest challenges of lack of uniforms.
Mr Chibale said there was need for enough uniforms as well as the rehabilitation of the houses for the correctional staffs who were currently staying in a dilapidated houses.
And Ms Justice Chawatama promised to visit Chadiza open air correctional centre at an appropriate time.
Zambia defender Stopilla Sunzu marked his first French Ligue 1 game in 2016 with a goal.
Sunzu scored his debut league goal for Lille since his loan move to the French club this season in a 3-0 away win over 10th positioned Nantes on Sunday.
He netted the second goal in the 58th minute after Lille had taken a 1-0 halftime lead.
The Zambia defender played the full 90 minutes in his ninth match for 7th placed Lille.
This was also Sunzu’s third competitive match this year for Lille since January when he played in a Cup ties against Guingamp and Trelissac on January 13 and 20 respectively.
Sunzu is nearing the end of a one year loan deal from Chinese clun Shenhua.
Barely a week after political party leaders pledged to avoid attacking one another after issuing resolutions which were agreed to during the indaba called by the Catholic Bishops and attended by other church mother bodies, politicians have reverted to their old habits of issuing derogatory statements against one another.
In her latest outburst against UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema PF Deputy Secretary General Mumbi Phiri in apparent reference to Mr Hichilema said she does not like mentioning some names because they make her lose her appetite.
Ms Phiri, who was featuring on the Platform radio program On Joy FM, got irked when listeners, who participated via text messages, kept blaming her party for the economic hardships in some parts of the country, such as Kabwe and other parts of Central Province.They said the that PF had failed to revive companies such as Mulungushi Textiles and Kapiri Glass company.
Ms Phiri advised the listeners to stop blaming the PF over issues they were not party to, claiming that most of the economic mess the country is facing was because of the privatisation of state companies, which was done way before the PF took over office.
In another reference to Mr Hichilema, Ms Phiri said some people should explain the criteria they used to acquire properties of companies they never worked for.
“Does that person follow the history of this country? Fortunately we have very few people who think like her, people know when Kapiri Glass company was sold, it was long before PF came into power, Mulungushi textile is jointly owned by a Chinese company and the Zambian government and the majority shareholder is the Chinese company. Get to know the nitty-gritty and the history, then you will understand than you just talking.
“I didn’t mention your HH, in fact, I don’t even want to mention some names because they make me lose my appetite, but the facts still remains: we have people in this country who benefited from privatisation. Some of us talk like this because we have relatives who died when Lima Bank was privatized for a song and to see those people who never worked for Lima Bank occupying the houses which belonged to Lima Bank, we ask and I wish they could tell us the criteria they used for them to buy houses for companies they never worked for. It’s really sad and the facts are on the table.
“People must not come on the radio with bitterness, speak on the facts, privatisation was there, Lima Bank was sold and some of our brothers and sisters are beneficiaries of the assets of companies which they never worked for,” she said.
Asked if she was not practicing hate speech Ms Phiri said she was simply calling a spade by its name.
“…Give me another name for me to call them that’s what they are called, and I don’t think in my interview I have mentioned HH, Kunda remind me where I mentioned HH, I am above that! You know when I say a fact and it’s connected to your leader that’s not my fault, mentioning some names makes me lose my appetite. No it’s not hate because they want to force words in my mouth, if anything I mentioned my sister Edith Nawakwi and I mentioned her because she gave me an assignment, am suppose to go to Soweto market,” she said.
She also called on traditional leaders to avoid partisan politics.
“…Shakafuswa is a politician mind you and he has the right to belong to wherever his heart desires but not a chief’s wife. Those 5 wives of chiefs who said they are going to support President Edgar Lungu did you see them lift a PF symbol? They were just speaking and every chief where you go to they were saying they will support the government of the day.
“By our Constitution our chiefs are not supposed to be partisan, now you see a chief’s wife lifting a symbol and I can see from your surname that’s your area my brother advise your chief’s wife not lower herself to my level, she is respected, she is our mother and am giving her advise not that am taking anything from her,for her to be lifting a symbol she is degrading herself to my level she is very respected, I’m just a cadre.
“And the person from Kabwe who said zinc mine is closed is it PF who closed? Continued Ms Phiri in my opening remarks I said the disadvantage we had as a country was privatisation, even the money hasn’t been accounted for and that’s a fact whether you want to change or what and the way you are speaking passionately that PF is going, we heard this even on the 20th kunda kunda I was here with my brother in law who saying wufa wadula even that political party that will come are telling me they will give you food for free, we all have to work to make ends meet so all those are just stories in fact to those elections in January were more crucial than these ones.”
Ms Phiri also laughed off Obvious Mwaliteta’s reason for his defection to the UPND calling him a political prostitute who joined the PF at the eleventh hour.
“If that complaint of a grade 12 certificate is coming from a person like me who was not in Parliament when the was that law was passed it was going to be understood. I think my brother Mwaliteta even when the debates were going on he knew that he was a is it a grade 2 or 5, he knew deep down his heart and when that bill passed the first reading, second reading he had a chance to change and that Constitution could have come with an amendment and am speaking as a former Parliamentarian who understand the procedure of Parliament.
“You can’t let a bill pass first reading, second reading, third reading and when it’s passed that is when you start complaining. It’s amazing but look at the background of Mwaliteta where did he come from? My brother is just proving that he is a political prostitute because he wasn’t even PF. He came at the good will of my late President Michael Sata, he came at the eleventh hour together with my sister Silvia Masebo. Hon Mwaliteta that is his nature. I think even saying that he is a grade 2 or 5 is an understatement, it’s in his nature,” she said.
Edith Nawakwi
Opposition FDD leader Edith Nawakwi has charged that the ruling Patriotic Front has managed to sink the country in its almost five-year rule.
And Mrs Nawakwi has ruled out any possibilities of entering into a political alliance ahead of the August elections saying alliances do not work in Zambian politics.
She stated that everything that could go wrong has gone wrong under the PF rule.
Mrs Nawakwi said the Maize shortages in most parts of the country is symptomatic of the failure of the PF administration.
The FDD leader was speaking this morning when she featured on a live radio programme on Lusaka’s Millennium Radio.
“The PF has sunk the country. Because of their mismanagement, they have the Maize at FRA. We warned these guys. FRA agents are friends of politicians in government and they are the ones who have been exporting the Maize to our neighbouring countries,” Mrs Nawakwi said.
She added, “It’s not wrong to export the crop but leadership demands that people in Government should know that they are lean years and bumper years and that is why we have silos. Leaders should ensure that they secure the Maize for strategic use first before they export.”
Mrs Nawakwi said the Maize shortage is a clear confirmation that the PF has completely failed to manage the country’s affairs.
She said it is folly that the PF through Agriculture Minister Given Lubinda has continued disputing reports of Mealie meal shortages when the whole country can see that the shortage is worsening.
“It’s like your children are sleeping hungry and you are saying you are rich man. This Government found the mealie meal selling at K35 per Kg when they took over Government in 2011 but it is now at K150 per K25 in some places like Nakonde and in some places like Chipata and Central province, it is now becoming difficult to just sight a bag of mealie meal,” she said.
“If there is enough Maize, let us see it. This whole Mealie meal scandal means there is a failure in the management of government. We don’t have to drum up the fact that Edgar has failed, his failure is felt in every home and in every classroom. Our stomachs can tell us when we have enough food. People have started taking shifts in having meals in some households. So sad,” Mrs Nawakwi said.
She added, “Why should a mother going to deliver in George Compound clinic be asked to carry Jik, gloves and pegs to tie the Umbilical cord and you still think you have a Government?”
The FDD leader also charged that the increase in the number of robberies and burglaries is also a sign that the social order has broken down.
“Every day people are being brutalised, in Matero walking every evening has now become a security issue. This is now a crisis and someone needs to say something but unfortunately the President is silent,” she said.
Mrs Nawakwi said, “The economic situation is extremely depressing. It is now clear that the PF has failed to run this country. Universities are closed and people have no food. Maybe God wants to teach us a lesson that we should pray and reflect before we vote for our leaders.”
And Mrs Nawakwi says the FDD is not interested in entering into any political alliances ahead of the August elections because alliances do not work in Zambian politics.
“Even the history of Zambian politics points out to the fact that alliances don’t work. As FDD, we tried it out with the UDA, an alliance with UNIP and the UPND and you all know that story. There was also the PF and UPND pact and by now my brother Hakainde Hichilema would have been President but we all know how that ended and just recently there was the DF and Orange Alliance and we have not forgotten how it ended, we don’t want to waste or time on alliances,” Mrs Nawakwi said.
She also stated that the alliances that some political parties are entering into these days are mere endorsements.
“These are mere endorsements and i don’t know why people are getting excited. I cannot get excited over these endorsements because some of these endorsements are coming from people who have been evicted from their parties.”
MMD President Dr. Nevers Mumba speaks to the Clergy from various congregations at Victory Ministries in Kasama on 11th February 2016
Movement for Multiparty Democracy President Nevers Mumba has warned the party’s Lunte Member of Parliament Felix Mutati that he will soon institute contempt of court proceedings against the expelled parliamentarian.
The MMD President accused Mr Mutati of defying court orders through continued statements against the MMD after his expulsion, saying that Mr Mutati was trying to destabilise the former ruling party for selfish political gains.
Dr Mumba warned Mr Mutati to lay his hands off MMD saying the Luntu parliamentarian is playing a dangerous political game.
Last month, the Lusaka High Court ruled that Lunte Member of Parliament Felix Mutati remains expelled from the MMD. High Court Justice Mwamba Chanda in her ruling said the interlocutory injunction sought by Mr Mutati could not be issued to restore membership of a political party because the expulsion already occurred. Mr Mutati had applied to the High Court to restrain the MMD party from expelling him pending an application for judicial review in the Constitutional Court to compel the MMD national executive committee (NEC) to hold a national convention before the August 11, 2016 General Elections.
However, Mr Mutati has since appealed against the High Court ruling that upheld the MMD national executive committee decision to expel him from the party because the action will bar him from contesting the presidency of the former ruling party.
Mr Mutati filed a memorandum of appeal in the Supreme Court against High Court Justice Mwamba Chanda’s ruling that he remains expelled as the decision was already made before commencement of the application for an injunction to restrain the party from taking such action.
He explained that the High Court judge erred in law when she refused to grant him the injunction against his expulsion because it interfered with his rights to contest the presidency of the former ruling party.
Meanwhile, Mr. Mutati has said that it is unfortunate that MMD members that voice their concerns on the leadership of the party are slapped with suspensions and expulsions.
The MMD Lunte MP who served as Commerce Minister before the 2011 general election has further bemoaned the hand picking National Executive Committee members without subjecting the positions to elections.
Mr. Mutati has since advised MMD Leader Nevers Mumba to respect the party constitution and allow for people within the party to compete for positions.
He said this in Mansa District when he addressed hundreds of MMD leaders drawn from all the Districts in Luapula province.
Mr. Mutati is on a tour of MMD structures in the ten provinces with the aim of reviving the fortunes of the party.
And MMD national secretary Mwansa Mbulakulima noted with concern that no Members of Parliament or former cabinet ministers are on the side of Dr. Mumba.
Massey Ferguson Vice President for Marketing in charge of Europe, Africa and the Middle East, Thierry Lhotte says his company’s agricultural fair to be held in Lusaka will act as a catalyst for ideas focused on farm mechanisation as a key driver for growth in African agriculture.

This is according to a statement issued to ZANIS in Lusaka today by Press Secretary at the Zambian High Commission in South Africa, Nicky Shabolyo.
Government has supplied over 400 metric tonnes of subsidised maize to solar milling plants which are under the presidential initiative programme in Northern Province.
Northern Province Cooperatives and Marketing Union Manager, Daniel Mulenga, told ZANIS in an interview today that the union is in receipt of 427 metric tonnes of maize to be supplied in all solar powered milling plants that are already operational in the region.
He said the production of cheaper mealie-meal has since commenced in the province.
Mr Mulenga added that the cheap commodity will by tomorrow start being offloaded on the local market.
And he has since advised Kasama residents to start accessing the mealie-meal at NCU market.
He explained that the solar milling plant had earlier become slow in the production of the commodity due to shortage of the raw material.
However, the union leader said with the Government directive to start supplying FRA maize to small milling plants, there will be consistent production of the commodity in the area.
Mr. Mulenga observed that the move by Government will enable solar milling plants compete favourably on the local market.
He said so far 40 solar-powered hummer mills have been erected in Kasama district, adding that 30 of them are already operational.
Local Government and Housing Minister Steven Kampyongo has directed the Fire Services department to quickly recruit officers to take over from the five fire officers who recently died on duty in Chirundu district.
Mr. Kampyongo was speaking when he officially opened a four days Chief Fire Officers and Officers in Charge Standing Committee Conference aimed at discussing ways of enhancing the provision of fire and rescue services in the country.
The Minister said the deceased officers need to be quickly replaced and consider recruiting from their families.
Mr. Kampyongo revealed that President Lungu gave his ministry instructions to effect the provision of effective and efficient fire and rescue services as one of the priority services in the country.
He added that government values the role that the fire-fighters play in saving the lives of people and protecting property from destruction by fire in the country.
And Chief Fire Officers Standing Committee Chairperson Clement Zulu appealed to government to consider the fire policy which will give direction and proper management of fire and rescue services in the country.
Mr. Zulu further appealed for the construction of modern fire stations in all provincial headquarters and districts as well as recruitment of fire-fighters.
He also requested for the consideration of construction of fire Service College that will issue diploma and degree courses at the national fire service college.
The fire fighters demonstrated some lifesaving drills shortly before the commencement of the conference.
A Mazhandu bus travelling to Lusaka from Kitwe was involved in a road accident around 12 hours between Kabwe and Kapiri.
On the scene sources said five people have died on the spot while the sixth victim died on the way to the hospital.
The accident happened at a place called near the Green Leaf.
Among the deceased are four female passengers and a male aged between 1 and 2 years.
One of the female deceased passengers had her bridal shower on Saturday.
And the Road Transport and Safety Agency says it is saddened by the fatalities in a road traffic accident along the Kabwe Kapiri Mposhi road involving a Mazhandu Family Services Bus.
RTSA’s preliminary accident investigations conducted revealed that the driver of the motor vehicle failed to negotiate a curve, due to excess speed.
According to one of the eye witness, the driver of the bus Kasheka Shadrick Kabange was over speeding and failed to negotiate the curve and lost control causing the bus to slip on the road.
The investigations also revealed that the driver of the bus was fully licensed.
The investigation further showed that the section of the road where the accident occurred is a curvy stretch with a speed limit of 80km/h and the road is clearly marked and that the road is smooth.
The investigations have also revealed that the road was wet as it was raining during the time the road accidents occurred.
“As the RTSA, we are saddened by the loss of lives through an accident and urge all motorist to exercise maximum patience on the roads and avoid over speeding. And following a spate of road traffic accidents by Mazhandu Family Bus Services in the recent past, the Agency will be summoning the operator to show cause why the Road Service License (RSL) should not be suspended,” says RTSA Spokesman Fred Mubanga.

FILE: Jean Kapata prepares the audience for the Lukulu Rally
THE Church must at all times resist the temptation of aligning itself to any political party in the country because that has the potential to create divisions in the country based on religion, the Patriotic Front (PF) has said.
PF elections chairperson Jean Kapata said while it was within the constitutional right of citizens to associate themselves with any political organization of their choice, it was religiously wrong for men of the collar to take political sides.
Reacting to the luncheon United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema held for selected church leaders at his residence in New Kasama on Thursday, Ms Kapata said it was religiously incorrect for the church to exhibit political alignment especially in an election year.
Ms Kapata said it was shocking that some church leaders had accepted an invitation to have lunch with Mr Hichilema when the country had a lot of opposition political party leaders who equally needed their spiritual counsel.
She said the church must endeavour to remain impartial when advising politicians and that if there was need to pray for politicians, the clergy must never be seen to select which political leaders deserved their religious counsel.
Ms Kapata however said the ruling party was happy with the three Church mother bodies, the Zambia Episcopal Conference (ZEC), the Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ) and the Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia (ZEC) for schooling political parties on the need to end political violence.
She said the PF had remained resolute on its campaign against violence and that was why President Edgar Lungu had shown the way by decreeing that those engaged in violence would be expelled from the ruling party apart from facing the wrath of the law.
“We know that there is always a danger that some church leaders can easily abandon their religious calling and align themselves to some political parties. But our plea is that church leaders must avoid falling into the temptation of openly aligning themselves to political parties.
‘‘It is our fervent hope that church leaders will not be politically compromised during this election year because their flock belongs to different political parties. We are however shocked that some church leaders accepted to have lunch with one opposition political party leader,” Ms Kapata said.
And Ms Kapata said President Lungu had remained the most favourite in the August general elections because the PF through the Head of State had delivered to the disappointment of the opposition.
She said as the PF elections chairperson, she was determined to make sure the PF was retained into power and that she would never disappoint the party and the Head of State.
PF Deputy General Mumbi Phiri makes her point during a PF Youth Rally at Freedom Park
HAKAINDE Hichilema will be caged if he is going to attempt to cause anarchy and chaos by rejecting the outcome of the August 11 general elections to make Zambia ungovernable, the Patriotic Front (PF) has warned.
The PF was reacting to Forum for Democracy and Development president Edith Nawakwi who claimed that Mr Hichilema, who is UPND president, was not going to accept the outcome of the August 11 general elections if he lost.
Ms Nawakwi accused Mr Hichilema of already acting as head of State.
PF deputy secretary general Mumbi Phiri said Zambia has had peaceful and fair elections since reverting to plural politics in 1991 and that its leadership transition had always been peaceful and smooth and it would be unacceptable for any one citizen to attempt to plunge the country into chaos.
Mrs Phiri said Mr Hichilema claimed victory in the January 2015 presidential election long before the counting of the ballots could be concluded and that the opposition leader should avoid the temptation declare himself winner of the August general elections because that would not only be a breach of the electoral laws but would be fanning anarchy in the country.
She said in an interview that Zambia was bigger than any individual citizen and that Mr Hichilema should avoid psyching his followers that he (Hichilema) was the ultimate winner of the coming general elections because there were many other contenders in the race.
Mrs Phiri said the popularity of the UPND was dwindling and that the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) was gaining dominance in the regions where the opposition political party once enjoyed supremacy.
Mrs Mumbi said Government was not going to allow any politician including Mr Hichilema to cause confusion and that whichever leader was going to incite his or her followers to cause political consternation by refusing to accept defeat would have to face the wrath of the law.
“Mr Hichilema has been acting as if he has already won the presidency of this country but let him be prepared to accept the results of the general elections when he loses. Even in the January 2015 general elections, Mr Hichilema claimed victory long before the last ballot could be counted. But this time, let him know that he will not be allowed to cause anarchy and chaos by rejecting the outcome of the election so that the country can be ungovernable. Mr Hichilema is just an individual and he will be tamed after the general elections,” Mrs Phiri said. She stated that the PF has been praying for peaceful, free and fair elections and that God was not going to abandon Zambia because he was going to give Zambians a leader of their choice. Mrs Mumbi said in 2015, Zambia had no direction as the country during the transition after the death of Michael Sata but with God’s intervention, Zambians went through and had a new President in Edgar Lungu smoothly and without any upheavals.
She said the PF had gained a lot of support since President Lungu was elected and that the ruling party was overwhelmed with the number of aspiring candidates wishing to stand on the ruling party’s ticket.
She stated that in Southern Province, the PF was having an average of four aspiring candidates expressing interest to contest the parliamentary election and that President Lungu was going to get the best MPs in the coming election.
“We are now concentrating our efforts in the UPND strongholds and we shall make sure we get right into their ‘bed rooms’ and get the maximum votes from them. So Zambians should not be worried that there shall be chaos after the general elections,” Mrs Phiri said.
