FLASHBACK: Kabwata MP Given Lubinda (L) and Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba

The Patriotic Front PF has observed that unless President Rupiah Banda takes a strong stand against financial irregularities being highlighted in government institutions, he will not be able to tackle the rampant corruption.

Mr. Lubinda added that President Banda has already found himself in a very complicated scenario and predicament, because he himself has not been transparent.

He has since challenged president Banda to commit himself to seriously tackling corruption by taking a leading role in condemning acts of graft and taking appropriate action against those engaging in corrupt activities in public institutions.

Mr.Lubinda was reacting to the financial irregularities highlighted in the Auditor General’s report concerning the Road Development Agency RDA and some local authorities.

MMD accused of continued violence in Mufumbwe


United Party for National Development (UPND) has accused the MMD of having continued perpetuating violence in Mufumbwe even after the by-elections.

Speaking during a press briefing at the party’s Secretariat this morning,UPND Spokesperson Charles Kakoma said the ruling party is devastated by the loss of the Mufumbwe parliamentary seat and has continued to stir violence in the area using Chief Chizela.

Mr. Kakoma revealed that the UPND has received information that people’s homes in Mufumbwe have continued to be burnt for having supported the UPND.
[pullquote]“If the violence continues despite the aftermath of the election, the UPND will react and the violence will turn into a serious crisis,” Kakoma said.[/pullquote]
And Mr. Kakoma said Chief Chizela has ordered over 12 subjects out of his Chiefdom on grounds that they have been supporting the UPND.

He named some of those who have been chased as Frank Kazangama, Chrispin Chinyama, Sambaka Sambaka, Robert Kateti, Robert Kanyama, and Headman Likunde of Kalambu village among others.

He sais Chief Chizela has been using some retainers from his Chiefdom to harass and evict some people out of the Chiefdom.

Mr Kakoma noted that apart from the Chief retainers, Chief Chizela is allegedly using some other named people to perpetuate violence including village headmen.

Mr. Kakoma has since cautioned the ruling MMD to order Chief Chizela to stop perpetuating violence in Mufumbwe before the UPND youths react.

“If the violence continues despite the aftermath of the election, the UPND will react and the violence will turn into a serious crisis,” Kakoma said.

Arrest organisers of Bob Marley memorial – NRP

On saturday May 15th 2010, Zambia’s Rastafarians held a Bob Marley memorial concert in Lusaka. It was at this event that most young people were seen smoking marijuana in public.

This has prompted opposition New Revolution Party (NRP) to call on the Drug Enforcement Commission to arrest the facilitators of the memorial concert, for allowing the vice.

NRP president Cosmo Mumba claims that due to the publicity that the event received, some young people were misled into believing that smoking marijuana has been legalized in Zambia.

Bob Marley was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician who died on May 11, 1981. He has remained an international Reggae icon and is credited for spreading Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement to a worldwide audience.

Do not divide the country, Chief Nalubamba told

The Evangelical Youth Alliance has called on Chief Bright Nalubamba of the Ila people of Southern province to stop making statements that are likely to divide the nation.

In a telephone interview with Q fm today, Evangelical Youth Alliance (EYA) President Reverend Moses Lungu said the Chief’s statement as quoted in one of the daily tabloids that a tribally balanced government does not matter, is dangerous.

Reverend Lungu said the government should be tribally balanced in order to make people feel they are part of the country. He said any leadership should try to create a tribally balanced government because all tribes in the country have educated individuals capable of working effectively.

Meanwhile, Reverend Lungu has said people must also realize that it is not possible for any leadership to come up with a government representative of all the 73 tribes in the country.He said the appointing authority can try to tribally balance the government but that to take every tribe on board is practically impossible.

Reverend Lungu also advised against discussing tribal politics in the country stating that it is unhealthy.

He said what is important as for now is for the country to move forward as a united front above tribe and ethnicity.

Chief Nalubamba is quoted in one of the daily tabloids as stating that Zambians must learn that proper governance does not matter which tribe one holding a ministerial position comes from, as long as one is managing to provide services in an effective and fair manner without discrimination of any kind.

Maureen Mwanawasa advised against protesting through foreign media

Maureen Mwanawasa

FORMER First Lady Maureen Mwanawasa has been asked to engage Government if she has any complaints instead of protesting through foreign media.

Independent Churches of Zambia president Reverend David Masupa said internal concerns are better resolved locally.

“She should have engaged President Banda or the Secretary to the Cabinet instead of airing her grievances through foreign media, because that created an impression that she was protesting,” he said.

Rev Masupa said this in an interview in Lusaka yesterday.

And Rev Masupa has urged Government to set up a commission of inquiry into President Mwanawasa’s death to put his widow’s heart at rest.

This comes in the wake of Mrs Mwanawasa’s statement on BBC radio that she was displeased that Government has not investigated Dr Mwanawasa’s death.

President Mwanawasa collapsed in Egypt where he was attending an African Union summit in 2008 and died later in hospital.

Auditor-General exposes RDA’s ills

25
FLASHBACK: Engineers inspecting Lusaka roads work

THE Auditor-General has queried the Road Development Agency (RDA) for delaying in commencement of road works in some parts of the country even when the Government had paid colossal sums of money.

According to the latest Auditor-General’s report, more than K14 billion was paid for some roads in Lusaka Province but the RDA had not commenced work.

The RDA has also been questioned over some various cases where contractors were being overpaid for some work done contrary to the initial agreements.

The report that was obtained by the Times yesterday raises several other concerns on how the road sector funds were being managed in the country.

The report reveals that the RDA over-committed the Government by over K1 trillion on various road contracts.

The approved budget for 2008 was K685 billion but the agency committed the Government to contracts in the sum of K1.643 trillion resulting in an over-commitment of K1,015 trillion.

“Contrary to the Appropriation Act of 2008 and the Public Finance Act of 2004, it was observed that the agency committed Government to expenditures in excess to money appropriated by parliament,” the report says.

The report also observes that five road projects in the sum of more than K182 billion were procured outside the 2008 work-plan and the authority to procure the same projects was not availed to auditors.

It was also discovered that the auditor-general’s clause was omitted on four projects when the Public Audit Act required all contracts to have a provision empowering the auditors to have access to all documents related to public expenditure.

[pullquote]The report also says the RDA paid K2.6 million for INTERNET services at the board chairperson’s private premises while another K17 million and K20 million was paid as a group personal accident policy for members without the authority of the minister.[/pullquote]

The RDA had started the tendering process for 16 contracts totaling K644 billion without designs or drawings which were supposed to identify the scope and cost of the projects in order to eliminate errors and help in preparation of the bill of quantities.

The absence of designs led to preparation of wrong bills of quantities that resulted in variations of contracts and extension of time of completion.

The report also says the RDA paid K2.6 million for INTERNET services at the board chairperson’s private premises while another K17 million and K20 million was paid as a group personal accident policy for members without the authority of the minister.

Although the contract for the manager – corporate services expired in July 2009, the agency did not withdraw his Tom Card and he drew fuel amounting to K6 million although part of it had been recovered while a former director-general drew K86 million worth of fuel when on forced leave.

It was also discovered that the board chairperson was also heading the finance and administration committee while the sitting of the same committee also constituted a quorum of the board.

Despite the requirement that the bidding period should be between four to eight weeks, it was discovered the majority of the bidding period had been 25 days irrespective of the project size.

Government stops subsidizing fuel

FINANCE minister Situmbeko Musokotwane

Finance and National Planning Minister Situmbeko Musokotwane has said the Government will no longer subsidise the fuel costs in the country.

Speaking in Lusaka on Sunday, Dr Musokotwane said Government’s continued subsidy on fuel would impact negatively on other key sectors of the economy.

Dr Musokotwane said the Government’s decision to stop subsidising fuel prices was in order for it to address other needy areas such as education, health and roads.

He said the Government had been spending so much on fuel subsidies leaving very limited resources for other sectors of the economy.

He explained that Government had been subsiding the fuel for a long time now at the expense of other needy sectors of the economy that have been lagging behind.

Meanwhile, United Party for National Development (UPND) spokesperson Charles Kakoma has said the move by the Government not to further subsidise fuel, would negatively affect the economy of the country.

Former Luena Member of parliament Charles Milupi has expressed doubt whether the United Party for National Development and Patriotic Front pact will survive during the 2011 elections.

Mr. Milupi said that the PACT will not survive because of the different objectives that the two parties stand on.

Mr. Milupi claims that the UPND president has never mentioned the name of the PF leader Michael Sata in his campaigns.

He adds that if it true that the PACT is meant for the Zambians, UPND president would have been co-campaigning for his counterpart.

Speaking on Monday Nite Live last evening, Mr. Milupi said that Zambians should not be so sure that the pact will survive to the run up to elections.

He stated that some of the members of the opposition UPND indicated to him that they only joined the pact to get access to other areas.

[pullquote]Eddy accused Mr. Milupi of working to divide the votes of the opposition in next year’s parliamentary and presidential by elections.[/pullquote]

On the programme, One caller, Eddy advised the Mr. Milupi to think twice on his formation of the new political party.

Mr. Milupi resigned his parliamentary seat to take up the leadership of Alliance for Democracy and Development (ADD) party which he officially launched last week.

Eddy accused Mr. Milupi of working to divide the votes of the opposition in next year’s parliamentary and presidential by elections.

He added that Mr. Milupi should learn from the parties that have been launched and nowhere to be seen.

However Mr. Milupi defended himself saying that they are not dividing but only offering his services to the Zambians.

Mr. Milupi says that the whole political mood is shaken up, as the party was formed in addressing real issues.

42 nabbed over Solwezi riots

POLICE in Solwezi have arrested 42 people after riots that ensued following a road traffic accident in which four people were injured.

North-Western Province police chief Fabian Katiba said those arrested have been charged with several offences including arson, assault of police officers and riotous behaviour.

An angry crowd on Sunday ran amok and set a car ablaze after its driver ploughed into a crowd near a church.

Police had to fire tear gas canisters to quell the riot, which also saw a police post being set ablaze.

Trouble started after a woman ran over four people after she lost control of the car she was driving.
Mr Katiba named the victims of the accident as Frank Kalaba, Patrick Mpande, Nelson Sanyiwangu and Jessy Mundengu.

He said the driver, who fled the scene after the accident, will be charged with dangerous driving.
Mr Katiba said five police officers were injured, one seriously, while the owner of the car, Mwika Mulao, was badly beaten after he was dragged out of the car.

He said the angry mob turned its wrath on police officers who were trying to rescue the owner of the vehicle from being beaten.

Police fought running battles with rioters but failed to contain the situation and had to call for reinforcement from other security wings.

Close to 40 heavy duty trucks that transport copper concentrate from Lumwana in Solwezi to the Copperbelt for processing were marooned as the road between town and Kyawama township was blocked with logs and rocks.

Mr Katiba said police have a duty to protect everybody and that people should not look at them as enemies.

He said everybody seeks protection from police and that when officers rescue someone from injustice, people should not think that they are siding with the offender.

How to make a Cannes movie for almost nothing

5

CANNES — You, too, can make a movie and get it into the exclusive Cannes Film Festival, all for $1,504.

ZedCrew Trailer from ZedCrew on Vimeo.

Here’s how: Pay your lead actor $400, your two main supporting actors $200 apiece, and your two secondary actors $100 each.

Then shoot the film in Zambia and impress your country back home enough that it pays for the pricey digital-to-film conversion that Cannes demands.

It worked for Canada’s Noah Pink, whose ZedCrew premieres this week in the festival’s Directors Fortnight section.

Here’s the budget-saving catch: Pink, 27, already had a job in Zambia to shoot a documentary for an organization called Transaid. It paid for the flight from Pink’s base in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He also got to borrow the camera he used to film the documentary. Then he took road shots for his 44-minute movie as he traveled for Transaid.

“Hopefully this will be the next step to go on and make a feature,” he told WalletPop at the beachside Canadian Pavilion.

Resourcefulness won’t be an obstacle. He auditioned his lead actor, Alvin Fungo, via MySpace, and told Fungo to round up other capable hip-hop artists who could act. ZedCrew centers around three young men in Zambia determined to become rappers in New York. The idea percolated for a while, but Pink didn’t write the script until he met his actors in Zambia and hashed out the story with them.

As soon as he finished his job for Transaid, he and cinematographer Christopher Porter began filming the movie in Lusaka, the capital. They finished in two weeks, spending an additional $300 on taxis, $100 for food, $100 for hiring a truck and paying off a security guard to let him film on a rooftop, and $4 for a makeshift boom pole.

When Pink showed the edited version back home, Film Nova Scotia chipped in $14,000 for the 35-millimeter conversion. When Cannes accepted the film, Telefilm Canada donated marketing funds and the festival gave him €500 for expenses.

Now he’s a filmmaker in the Fortnight, the same category that launched Spike Lee with She’s Gotta Have It. Pink questioned whether he would again try to make a film on such a frayed shoestring, but he made the most of it.

“Technology is changing and it’s allowing almost anybody to pick up a camera and make a movie,” he said. “The downfall is people don’t check through their story enough.”

Here’s the math for you doubters:

$400 for lead actor
$200 supporting actor
$200 supporting actor
$100 secondary supporting actor
$100 secondary supporting actor
$300 taxis in Zambia
$100 food
$100 hiring a truck and paying off security guard
$4 makeshift boom rod
———————————–
$1,504 total cost to make Zedcrew

Low, unsustainable maize prices threaten next year’s output

7

Zambia’s maize harvest for the 2010/11 marketing season is likely to fall from output of more than 1.9 million tonnes expected this year because of low, unsustainable maize prices, an industry official said on Monday.

Zambia National Farmers’ Union (ZNFU) President Jervis Zimba said the maize price had dropped from about $285 per tonne at the end of March to $249 per tonne as of May 11 after Zambia’s Food Reserve Agency (FRA) offloaded maize onto the market to keep prices low.

Zimba said farmers were failing to find a market for their irrigated maize which required huge investment in drying facilities as it was normally harvested between March and April with very high moisture content.

“The future of both early maize production and rain-fed maize production hangs in the balance,” Zimba said in a statement.

Zimba said production costs were rising owing to a hike in fuel prices and a planned increase in electricity tariffs.

Maintaining the price of maize below the cost of production would hurt future production, he said.

“Should this situation remain (unchanged), maize production will drop drastically next farming season and the country risks having to return to importing maize,” Zimba said.

He said there was a need to adequately fund the FRA so that it could participate more effectively in the market in buying excess crop which was depressing the price of maize.

Zambia plans to export between 50,000-80,000 tonnes of maize this year but Zimba urged the immediate export of up to 178,000 tonnes of 2009 carry-over stocks to ensure better local prices for this season’s crop.

Finance Minister Situmbeko Musokotwane told Reuters the government was presently not in a position to allocate additional resources to the FRA but may do that next year.

Musokotwane said the government would consider additional maize exports to protect the local grain industry.

The Charlatans of our Democracy

16

By Kahlatswayo Cele

It was not long ago when every news edition on the Local TV and Radio broadcast was intermittent with the salutation ‘One Zambia, One Nation’. No sooner had this disappeared than in came the matured ‘Cadre Politician’, at the same time, the private media.

All was well until the day when Eve was found wanting, deceived by the Serpent, eating of the forbidden fruit, of glamour and wine sipping. Her husband she also entrapped to partake of her sins resulting in unfettered appetites to the extent of exchanging his birthright for a pot of porridge.

Since then, each taste of forbidden fruit has led to more and more lustrous desires, culminating in the couple literally flying high on the wings of the fornications of their luxuries. By the loss of their ZA, enraged and bitter, they pointed an accusing finger at innocence.

And so since then, the couple of the glib tongued and advocates has sought to bring down the hierarchy, pulling along all who share their grief- from ‘cadre Politician’ to rascals and scoundrels, to run-away Priests, a bunch of the disgruntled.

The ‘cadre Politician’ has natured a brutish instinct, which enables him to benefit from anything and everything that will give him the desired advantage – even to the extent of telling open lies to snare a following, promising to build Power Stations in every Province within 90 days of being elected into Office. The cadre to feign support has whispered to undo the couple’s misery.

I fear the beast of a single horn has invaded our Democracy, ready to ravage this beloved Country to bits and pieces. The scarlet wine of its people, it desires above anything else, to present and hallow before the beast by the agent of whited sepulchers.

Zambia has amongst both its young and old, Citizens who hold true to the virtues honesty and fairplay. All that is needed is guided nurturing and the fruit will surely bear-the fruit of a thriving Democracy.

The True Patriot stands un-swayed, unmoved by the whispers of the Political harlot, remaining firmly footed in the belief that virtue will ultimately prevail, of honesty and simple belief, of upheld principles, of shared Prosperity envisioned in the spirit of our Constitution.

Currently, the ‘cadre Politician’ is thriving amidst mediocrity and concomitant ignorance, relegating the principles of true Patriotism to a silent last. The Patriot holds on and sows by miniature steps, the seed of dignity. The harlot is a charlatan hybrid democracy void of issue driven Politics hijacked in the public discourse by a rogue media who careless but their own survival.

Such is a rogue media, that defrauds the public purse, refusing to remit taxes by the blackmail of a head of state, a media that delights in inciting insults and throws the first stone of biased judgment?

Tribalism and bigotry are now a platform for the cabal using the rogue media to lure a following and steer resentment against opponents. That they intend to exploit tribe is not surprising, their desperation is great. They intend to funnel the public into a perception that Politics of tribe, discarding merit is at play in the appointment of public officers. That is their launch pad.

For this reason, they have suspended their pretensions to champion media ethics, usurped by the expedience to tarnish Political enemies in tribal garb.

It is a high indictment against us as a people that some have ascended to Political leadership by open practice of tribalism. Worse, the stale public reaction towards the media who elect to overlook such brazen tribalism only to be quick to condemn those who refuse to practice tribalism in the appointment of public officers.

Worse still, these same media have elevated Political nonentities, well known to have previously thrived on account of tribe, to high platforms that they occupy day-to-day headline space – to spearhead tribal attacks.

Mr. Mpombo, a man ever wearing a bushy chin by all appearance is a disgruntled man, seething in anger, for being ‘left out’ and who is yet to awake from the self-importance stupor of belonging to a favored tribal nook of the previous regime, is now the taming of handlers scheming a tribal discourse.

The private media engaged in machinations have deliberately chosen to throw ethics out threw the window regarded by such as religious garb to be dumped at the doorway of media Practice. “By their fruit you shall know them,” the Bible says.

Zambians can all laugh at Mr. Mpombo remembering that he especially had the habit of groveling at the feet of our late ex-President. Our ‘king-makers’, would have us kiss his feet. Is this the type of democratic legacy we hope to leave behind, the applauding of Political gangsters and tribal bigots? Surely, our Posterity deserves better than that.

We deserve a Democracy that thrives on honesty, dignity and issue based Politics and whose subjects are not swayed by the ethnicity or colour of an individual but by fairness and justice, a Democracy that does not allow exploitation, favoritism or a system of the Political bourgeoisie.
