Dr. Mabula said the project will be developed under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) which the country is promoting.

She said it was pleasing that a Zambian company has been considered for such a big projects which will also set precedent for the development of other projects of such magnitude.

She has she this was also part of the citizen empowerment and urged the developer to an excellent job so that others Zambians companies might also be considered for future projects by others.

Dr. Mabula has since called on the developer to do a world class jobs which others should emulate.

Mr. Sitali said the constructions which will start in the next six months will take three years to be completed.

He said the project which will be the first PPP project will be done with much cautiousness and exemplary for others to follow.

Under this project the developer will construct and manage the infrastructure for 30 years before giving it the UNZA.

Political parties urged to woo members for voter registration

The Anti Voter Apathy Project (AVAP) has called on all political parties to mobilize their members to register as voters during the continuous voter registration exercise slated to commence on June 21, 2010.

This follows the announcement by the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) in Lusaka that the exercise would begin on June 21 for an initial period of 90 days.

AVAP Executive Director Bonny Tembo said all political parties should undertake a vigorous mobilization exercise and sensitize their members to register as voters in order to abate voter apathy in the 2011 tripartite
elections.

Mr Tembo has however cautioned politicians against ferrying potential voters to registration centres, saying the trend was illegal and was tantamount to flouting electoral procedures.

He told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka today that eligible voters should register as voters on their own free will and not be coerced to do so.

The AVAP Executive Director also urged the media to partner with the ECZ for them to fully understand the voter registration exercise for them to report professionally on the exercise.

He said since the media plays a vital role in the electoral processes, it should therefore have detailed information about the exercise in order to be able to enlighten society on the importance of the exercise.

Mr Tembo also urged the ECZ not to be selective in its media campaign butto work with all media house regardless of their status to capture a wide variety of potential voters.

Chief Government spokesperson Ronnie Shikapwasha has said the police are not playing double standards on calls to arrest Deputy Minister of Health Solomon Musonda who allegedly shot and wounded a suspected PF cadre in Serenje last week.

Gen. Shikapwasha said the police should be left to do their work especially that they have already recorded a warn-and-caution statement from Dr Musonda and are still processing the case.

He said Government will not put undue pressure on the police but will leave them to do professional investigations into Dr Musonda’s case.

Gen. Shikapwasha said people who are calling for the resignation of Dr Musonda to pave way for investigations should leave the matter to him.

He said once the case is clear, President Banda will be able to do what he sees fit to ensure that the due process of the law takes its course.

And University Teaching Hospital spokesperson Pauline Mbangweta has described as stable the condition of Patriotic Front (PF) cadre Jackson Musaka, who was shot in the forehead allegedly by Dr Musonda.

Ms Mbangweta said Mr Musaka is recovering from the bullet wound he suffered after being shot in the forehead.

She said Mr Musata is now eating and responding well to treatment.

Don’t politicise M’membe case-Government

22
Shikapwasha

GOVERNMENT says it is disappointed with United Party for National Development leader Hakainde Hichilema and his Patriotic Front counterpart Michael Sata for allegedly politicising the conviction of The Post editor-in-chief Fred M’membe by a Lusaka Magistrate Court.

Chief Government spokesperson Ronnie Shikapwasha said opposition leaders should learn to respect the decisions of the Judiciary.

He said in Lusaka yesterday that he is disappointed that Mr Hichilema and Mr Sata are ignorantly accusing Government of having influenced the conviction of M’membe on contempt charges.

[pullquote]Gen. Shikapwasha said the same courts that acquitted The Post news editor Chansa Kabwela convicted M’membe and wondered why Mr Hichilema and Mr Sata did not accuse Government of influencing the case.[/pullquote]

Lieutenant-General Shikapwasha said the Judiciary is independent and Government has nothing to do with the conviction and sentencing of M’membe to four months imprisonment with hard labour.Monday, June 7, 2010
“I am really disappointed with the ignorance of Mr Hakainde Hichilema, Mr Sata and other opposition leaders because they should know that the work of the Judiciary is independent from Government,” he said.

Gen. Shikapwasha, who is also Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services, said the process and outcome of the contempt of court offence that was committed by M’membe was done according to the law.

“So, Government has got nothing to do with him (M’membe) committing an offence. We should allow for the process of the law to take its course,” he said.

Gen. Shikapwasha said the same courts that acquitted The Post news editor Chansa Kabwela convicted M’membe and wondered why Mr Hichilema and Mr Sata did not accuse Government of influencing the case.

The minister said the judiciary is independent and made the decision to acquit Ms Kabwela just like it did with the conviction and subsequent sentencing of M’membe.
[pullquote]
Gen. Shikapwasha also said the international media cannot order the courts of law on how they should make decisions especially that they do not belong to Zambia.[/pullquote]

“So, let us leave the Judiciary to do its own work. People should not politicise operations of the Judiciary,” he said.

Gen. Shikapwasha also said the international media cannot order the courts of law on how they should make decisions especially that they do not belong to Zambia.

The minister said the international media should respect the laws of Zambia because they do not segregate and that any citizen who commits a crime is liable to face the law and M’membe is no exception.

He said those exhibiting ignorance about the conviction of M’membe should take time to study the judgement for them to understand and stop commenting on the matter ignorantly.

Contempt law should be reviewed – Kabanda

Citizens Forum executive director Simon Kabanda talking about the arrest and detention of controversial catholic priest Frank Bwalya

The Citizen’s forum has called for the reviewing of laws surrounding the contempt of court in Zambia.

Citizen’s forum executive secretary Simon Kabanda says that lots of innocent Zambians have continued to be unfairly convicted because of this law.

Mr. Kabanda cited the media as one of the many victims that suffer at the hands of the Zambian contempt of court law. He said that the media in Zambia operate under very difficult conditions which if certain laws are not reviewed will make them go to prison on a daily basis.

He said certain laws need to be reviewed to favor the operation of the media unlike what is happening at the moment.

Mr. Kabanda has also added to calls for the President to have his powers reviewed in order to reduce the interference in the judiciary.

He was speaking last evening on Monday Nite live
And Mr. Kabanda says that it will be impossible for the Electoral commission of Zambia to achieve its number of 2.5 million voters as registered voters without addressing challenging issues.

Commenting on the Electoral Commission of Zambia’s announcement that the voter registration exercise will commence on the 21st of June 2010, Mr. Kabanda stated that the poor road network will be one of the major challenges that will hinder the progress of the voter registration exercise.

Hichilema challenged over Zamtel sale

92
Information minister Ronnie Shikapwasha

CHIEF Government spokesperson Ronnie Shikapwasha has challenged United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema to first reverse the privatisation of Roan Antelope Mining Corporation (RAMCOZ) before he can start talking about the sale of 75 percent Zamtel shares to Lap Green Networks of Libya.

Lieutenant-General Shikapwasha, who is Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services, told journalists at Lusaka City Airport yesterday that Mr Hichilema’s plans to reverse the privatisation of Zamtel and Zanaco if he is elected as President are uncalled for.

“I want to challenge him first of all even before people consider him; let him reverse the process of privatisation and liquidation that he did at RAMCOZ and many other companies including Lima Bank,” he said.

Lt.Gen. Shikapwasha said as a result of the privatisation and liquidation of RAMCOZ, the people of Luanshya have suffered a lot.

Lt.Gen Shikapwasha assured the nation that the security of the country will not be jeopardised following the sale of 75 percent shares in Zamtel to a foreign firm.

He said all security issues were looked into before a decision was made to sale majority shares in the company to a foreign company.

“Zambians must not worry that the sell of Zamtel will prove to be a security risk. All these issues were looked into and all those who use the facility, including the defence forces, will still be able to operate normally without any fear of any privileged information ending up elsewhere,” Lt.Gen Shikapwasha said.

Secretary to the Treasury Likolo Ndalamei said the sale of Zamtel will continue to benefit Zambians both in dividends and taxes.

He said being a parastatal, the company was not remitting any taxes but that the new owners will begin doing so as soon as they begin to make profits.

“I cannot tell how much money we will collect from the new investors but when they start operating, we will look at the profits; then we will start taxing them,” he said.

And Economic Association of Zambia (EAZ) president Mwilola Imakando says the sale of Zamtel makes economic sense and that the company must now be ready to compete with other players in the sector.

Dr Imakando said in a separate interview that Zamtel has been sold at a late hour when it is unable to offer services efficiently.

He said the major concern before was the moratorium of not allowing new companies to come on the scene.
He said, however, the sale of 75 percent shares in Zamtel will allow the company to build up muscle and make it ready to compete effectively.

He said having a competitor will improve the operations of the company, which has been unable to make any returns on the investment that has been built over the years.

Government has sold 75 percent shares to Libya’s Lap Green Networks.

PF/UPND Pact launch has overcome tribal politics -Kakoma

18
UPND Spokesperson Charles Kakoma (R) and Patriotic Front Secretary General Wynter Kabimba (l)

 

The PF-UPND pact has boasted that the launch of the pact last Saturday has overcome regional and tribal politics in Zambia, of which former president Fredrick Chiluba was the alleged architect.

And the PF-UPND pact has observed that Dr Chiluba is under threat because he knows that President Rupiah Banda, the only person who is shielding him from all his ill dealings whilst President, is slowly losing ground.

In an interview with QFM, PF-UPND co-spokesperson Charles Kakoma said Dr Chiluba and president Banda are talking the way they are talking about the relevance of the pact because they are panicking.

Mr Kakoma stressed that the coming together of the UPND and PF has countered regional and tribal politics.

Mr Kokoma who is also Zambezi west Member of Parliament accused Dr Chiluba of creating strides of regional politics through his malicious and questionable campaigns for President Rupiah Banda.

And Mr Kakoma has maintained that there is no urgency of announcing who will be the Pact’s presidential candidate because the date of the general elections has not been announced.

He said the pact is aware that the MMD wants the presidential candidate to be named so that they can direct their energies to de-campaigning him.
He stressed that the pact will not fall into the MMD’s cheap traps.

Bishop Mambo bemoans sale of Zamtel

Outspoken clergyman Bishop John Mambo has described as a pity the decision by Zambian government to go ahead and sale Zamtel despite the outcry from Zambians.

Bishop Mambo states that from the beginning Zambians have been against the sale of Zamtel.

He said sale of Zamtel should not have been handled in the manner it has been done.

In an interview with QFM today, Bishop Mambo observed that the procedure to sale of Zamtel is also questionable.

Bishop Mambo,who is also a former Board member of the Zambian Privatization Agency, wonders why the Zambian parliament was not involved the whole process leading to the sale.

And the Citizens Forum executive secretary Simon Kabanda has expressed disappointment that the sale of Zamtel has gone ahead.

Mr. Kabanda stated that government should have utilized the evaluation by RP Capital to improve on the operations of Zamtel.

Early this year, former communications and transport Minister Dora Siliya, who was at the helm of the controversy surrounding the sale of Zamtel defended the move.

Ms. Siliya said that the politics surrounding the sale were unfounded and that the sale will benefit the country.

PF ordered us to sort out Mumbi — youths

Two former Patriotic Front (PF) officials yesterday recounted how they were instructed by senior party officials to beat up or ‘sort out’ their former secretary general Edward Mumbi because he had been compromised by the MMD.

But PF spokesperson, Given Lubinda has dismissed the allegation saying these are signs of desperation by people who wished ill of the PF/UPND Pact.
The two former party officials’ allegations are unrelated to the latest incident in which Mr Mumbi’s house was attacked by unknown people who attempted to set it ablaze.

Former PF Lusaka provincial information secretary, Chiwele Maimisa who has since reported the matter to the police revealed yesterday the leaders of the opposition party instructed him and other youths to locate the place were Mr Mumbi socialised from.

“We were told that it is easy to sort out Mr Mumbi. We were instructed to locate where he drinks from so that we could loosen some bolts on his car so that he would have an accident,” he said.

The PF leadership also instructed him to mobilise some youths to disrupt Mr Mumbi’s Press conference where he was to announce his resignation from the opposition party.
[pullquote]“We were told that it is easy to sort out Mr Mumbi. We were instructed to locate where he drinks from so that we could loosen some bolts on his car so that he would have an accident,” he said.[/pullquote]

“On that day, I was told that I should organise youths to disrupt the Press conference which I did. The buses we used were even paid for by the party,” he said.

He said he witnessed the beating of former University of Zambia Student’s Union (UNZASU) president Emmanuel Tembo for authoring a document ‘The Destruction of the Cobra Part I.’

Former Mandevu Chairperson Frank Lombe also recounted how he was assigned in 2008 to ‘sort out’ Mr Mumbi.

Mr Lombe said in an interview yesterday that he received instructions from the provincial office to the effect that Mr Mumbi must ‘vanish’.

He said the former PF secretary general was to be sorted out by the youths because he had sold out to the MMD.

“We were told that the MMD had bought him (Mr Mumbi) a Benz and therefore, he must vanish. These were instructions that came from the secretariat that we must flash out Mr Mumbi from his office and he must vanish,” he said.

He said the youths had been instructed to deal with Mr Mumbi because he had misused monies that were donated to the party by well-wishers.

“When we were campaigning during the 2008 presidential elections, we were told Mr Mumbi was paid by the Government through the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) and that the Government had bought him a Benz. As youths that were commanding, we got annoyed and there were plans that he must be sorted out. In fact, information was coming from the top,” he said.

Mr Lombe said he had even started implementing the instructions by confronting Mr Mumbi at the Supreme Court grounds during the presidential petition hearing.

He, however, said he realised that Mr Mumbi was innocent and denounced the action of the PF on national television.

“After we did that, my house was burnt in Garden compound by suspected PF youths who were commanded by a named member of Parliament from the PF,” he said.

When contacted for comment, Mr Lubinda said the allegations by the two were a sign of desperation for people who want to derail the pact.

“How come they are going to newspapers instead of going to the police? I’m sure the police would be very happy to arrest Mr Sata if such allegations were true,” he said.

He urged the two to report the matter to police if they have evidence to show that they were indeed instructed to sort out Mr Mumbi.

“If a person is hired to kill, it means that they are criminals themselves. They will do well to report themselves to the police. It actually means they are known assassins so they must tell us how many other people they have killed. If I want someone to fly a plane I won’t go to a journalist but I will hire a pilot,” he said.

Meanwhile, Lusaka province police chief Green Ng’uni said the police were still investigating the break-in at Mr Mumbi’s house and no arrests have been made.

“We have instituted investigations and police officers are on the ground,” he said.

Asked if the voter’s card, which was found at the scene, would lead to the arrest of the owner, Mr Ng’uni refused to comment for fear of jeopardising the investigations.

He said police were also investigating the matter in which Charles Chimumbwa had accidentally received calls from some cadres on the Copperbelt who were allegedly hired to stone former president Chiluba’s motorcade while in Kitwe.

Mining firm scales down morbidity

A local firm, Sandvik Mining and Construction Limited Company says it has recorded a reduction in the number of deaths related to HIV/AIDS amongst its employees following the HIV/AIDS workplace policy.

Company Human Resource Manager, Ruth Mubita said the company has managed to bring down the morbidity rate since the HIV/AIDS workplace policy was effected.

Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Kitwe, Mrs. Mubita said the decline in the number of deaths has been attributed to the HIV/AIDS, health and fitness interventions that the company has put in place.

She explained that the company before used to lose approximately five to eight people per year due to various sicknesses a situation she said has now improved for the better.

Mrs. Mubita added that the company currently has more than 400 employees and has not recorded any deaths from illness.

“We were losing between five to eight employees per year, but this is no more.” Mrs. Mubita said.

She also revealed that the company will launch a wellness programme in September 2010 to supplement the already existing company strategies for its employees.

Mrs. Mubita said the programme emphasizes community engagement, counseling, occupational; health and safety as well as medical care and assistance.

She however stressed that there were still discussions going on about the programme.

M’membe granted bail (UPDATED)

Post Editor-in-Chief Fred M’membe
Post Editor-in-Chief Fred M’membe

Convicted Post Newspapers Editor-in Chief Fred M’membe has been granted bail pending appeal worthy K20 million Kwacha in his own recognizance by a Lusaka Magistrate court with two working sureties.

His lawyer Remmy Mainza told journalists at the Lusaka Magistrate Complex this afternoon that M’membe has been granted a free bail by Magistrate David Simusamba. This means Mr. M’membe will not have to pay the money unless he defaults bail conditions.

The bail which was supposed to be signed this morning was delayed until after 15:00 hrs, because his lawyers were told to make some amendments to the notice of appeal which was presented earlier to Senior Resident Magistrate David Simusamba.

And speaking to journalists after he was released, Mr M’membe,who was clad in a pair of jeans, a pair of canvas, a checked shirt and a black cap said he does not understand what the alleged corrupt government of President Rupiah Banda has achieved by his conviction.

Mr M’membe said the Post Newspapers will continue operating as before, adding that his spirit remains the same and shall never be crashed.

M’membe further said that there is a great need to improve the judicial system in the country. He said the judicial system is not operating the way it ought to be.

Meanwhile, M’membe has appealed to authorities to look into the plight of prisoners whose situation he has described as ‘Worse than That of Dogs and Chickens’ in people’s homes.

M’membe has also thanked all those who turned up at the court today to give him moral support, mostly women clad in opposition UPND chitenge materials and T-shirts who sang songs of solidarity.

The Post Editor-in-Chief was last Friday sentenced to four months imprisonment after being convicted for contempt of court arising from an article by US based Zambian professor of law Muna Ndulo titled “the Chansa Kabwela trial,a Comedy of errors”.

Weekend Scorecard: Faz Favors Foreigner In Coach Head Hunt

7

Faz has decided to head hunt for a foreigner to coach for the Zambia national team.

And Lucky Msiska has been appointed as Under-23 coach.

According to Faz, the new head coach will be named at the end of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

The announcement ends speculation that a local will be given the job and comes in the wake of Zambia’s failure to qualify for the CHAN tournament after they were eliminated by archrivals south Africa and the subsequent redeployment of George Lwandamina to the technical desk at Football House.

Meanwhile, Msiska will be assisted by Zanaco coach Wedson Nyirenda in his duties to guide the Under-23 to the Mozambique 2011 All-Africa Games and 2012 London Olympics.

Msiska replaces Patrick Phiri who is now with Simba of Tanzania was earlier appointed to the post two years ago.

Faz has also announced further changes to the Under-17 bench with Aggrey Chiyangi dropped and he will be replaced by Nkwazi and former Under-20 trainer Oswald Mutapa.

Football House has also made changes to the Under-20 team where Choma Eagles coach Keegan Mumba will be at the helm taking over from Honor Janza who is now Faz technical director.
