Government has today unveiled new penalties for public nuisance acts under the street vending and nuisance amendment regulation of 2007.
Launching the statutory instrument in Lusaka today, Local Government and Housing Minister, Sylvia Masebo said the instrument was in line with the “Keep Zambian Clean Campaign which President Levy Mwanawasa launched last week.
Mrs. Masebo said the penalty fees for various public nuisance offences have been
increased from the range of between K300 and K1, 000 to the range of between K90,
000 and K450, 000.
She said the old penalty fees were too minimal to deter offenders from committing
the offence.
In the new instrument, throwing litter in undesignated places would attract the
penalty fee of K90, 000 while passing urine in unauthorised places would attract
K200, 000.
She said trading in an unauthorised areas and operating unlicenced taxis would
attract K450, 000.
The minister has since called on Zambians to support government measures in order to
achieve a clean and disease free environment.
She further said Zambians should be vigilant and exercise their powers of citizens’
arrest by apprehending perpetrators of such nuisance acts.
Our Minister is dull, how can we achieve a disease free environment, its not possible.
#1 She has nothing to say,its either that speech was written by Maureen Mwanawasa or Levy.Its common for these Ministers to say anything without reading it first.Sata left such frames all what was required was cabinet support to enforce these penalties.
And ba Kuku, who would be able to pay that amount of money. They must just come up with other ways to detar people from public nuisance offences.
Like our friends in the west do community service.
Ewe EasyE nenkoko yobe # 2, alabaiche mwalibelela ukuisundawila. Those laws are good for the country.
Kaswende Kaswende waba T efyo wingalanda pa blog?Damn fool
#4Kaswende Kaswende waba T efyo wingalanda pa blog?Damn fool
Where is the infra structure to counter this?Let us be rational in our dealings, build more free toilets, put up litter bins everywhere, dont just dream and think it will happen minus putting measures in place those fee paying toilets charge around K300 but still people find it difficult to pay, you think K90,000 will be afforded?Damn fool together with Kaswende Kaswende#4
Zambia has been on the downward trend for many years, as far as cleanliness is concerned. Cholera is a direct result of the dirty environment. Malaria can also be reduced by taking care of the environment. It is depressing to see that a lot of Zambians do not care where they throw rubbish. The situation is made worse by the fact that local councils have all but colapsed. Our praise for Ms. Masebo should be tempered with caution. All these tariffs could be window dressing in the absence of enforcement. Who is going to enforce these bye laws if there are no police officers around? As long as everything is centralised in the hands of central government, enforcing council bye laws is near impossible. Government needs to be serious about sorting out local councils first. They need to be funded and audited properly.
#1 EASY.I know it`s difficult to achieve a disease free enviroment but as citizens ,we need to try and maintain a clean surrounding.We need to support good initiatives even if we don`t politically support the initiator.Before long,if we`re hit by preventable diseases such as Cholera,the same people against such iniatives will condem Masebo for doing nothing.I hope that this isn`t a temperal thing but will be enforced all the time.People tend to grasp things quickly when it directly affects their pockets.if someone can`t afford to pay the fine,then I`m affraid it should jail time.Therefore,I applaud Masebo for trying to infuse some sanity.
Bwana Minister of Local Govt. How many toilets and bins have you installed in these public places. If you have any bins, how many times does your local govt empty these bins. I don’t stay in a city. I live in a small town where most gazetted markets aint got any toilet facility. The move is good, it has to start with local govt putting these facilities in place.
Apart from lack of funding for councils, another thing that has been neglected by the government is mobilisation of local communities. People at local level should be involved in maintaining their environment. In the dim and distant past, there used be social and welfare centres where mostly women were taught all sorts of things, including hygiene. The idea was to cultivate a sense of community and belonging. When people are made to take ownership of their envinroment they become responsible for and proud of it. Unfortunately, all people see these days are councils which are keen to collect taxes but are not so keen on providing services. The meager amounts they collect just go on salaries for workers who do not even have tools to do their work.
In my small, long long time ago. I can still remember, we used to have dumping sites where all the garbage was dumped. Nowadays, garbage is dumped in potholes in our roads. Shame on us. I propose every household should have a rubbish pit where possible.
Chapi, what you are saying is what I expected the minister to say. This is why I agree with Kuku #2 that these ministers dont even read thru their speeches. I have no problems with Masebo as a minister. Infact I like her no nonses stance on a number of issues relating to the cleanliness of the city.
However, solutions like hiking the penalty fees leave a lot to be desired. There must be systems in place first of all to ensure that these culprits are noticed. Moreso, the people need to be sensitizes that its wrong to throw litter or pass water in undesignated places. You and me may know this but think of an ordinary trader or bus conductor at city market.
A clean environment is a must yes but let us look at attainable ways of ensuring people adhere not theoretical ones.
Chapi#9 plz court Iam the actual Easy the other one EasyE. Now on a serious note there have been too much talking of partnership with EU & USA. Make these partnership and cooperation with the local communities and authorities in order to make the good suggestions effective. You just woke up and this not allowed you be punished. Involve the pipo at all levels. That is the only way can achieve this. Our ministers truth they just like reading written essasys. This reminds of the one deputy finance Minister who was the first Mechnaniker to Zambia Railways she used to read speeches. Kuku is right, The other I saw a very good constructed english from Ms Vera Chiluba when she was in Chilenge where she planted a tree as part of keep Zambia clean campaign. She tooked of chitemene systems, environmentatl dangers because of climate change. Please reporters interview this woman and find out about her CVs she seems to be fit to take over the Environment ministries. For me these could be very big..
ctd… strides she has made in life. I still have her speech she made in Southern Provinces in the late 1990s. On the hand our leaders have a problem of sleeping in hotels and watching TV when they are in developed countries instead of going around and see how people live. All the solutions are at your dispose if you want to know how have managed thier environments we have embassies representives in the country go and ask them how their nation solve these problems. Embassies are just their to hel enforcing thier country´s foreign policies but to exchange ideas and issuing visas. By the way lastest Africa has a new passport for all Africans to move freely through out the continent.Boys go and get it. Those who have lived in EU you what I mean- it is green in colour.
Ba Easy, do not use words like dull based on one issue, scientifically you need an IQ test to make that conclusion.Use terms like ‘naive’ if you like.
Coming to the beef, building toilets and putting-up bins is one side, the other side of the coin is educating people to stop/reduce on nuisance dumping and thats exactly what i understand from the story above.
Hey16# Thank you for yor observation but let me ask you one thing. Have u worked in a ministry do you know who does that donkey of writing essays? Its a batch of well educated Zambians, that is why things fail in Zambia because we like talking about peoples ideas hence the difficult to implement. I dont dispute telling people reducing dumping of nuisance and building of toilets. Please go Kanyama or Msisi and see yourself because of lack of Town planing it is impossible to build a dusty bin or toilet because there is no plan. Mwana our cities they just copied village life and brought it in town whereas in rural people live spacely. Can you tell now if you are in LUsaka and you go to city market where you can build dusty bin. I think you have a problems of understanding and reasoning Hey that why we fail in Zambia to perform because we inherit and change is doesnt have a meaning to us. Ask yourself why did such initiatives died they used to exist in KKs era.Sata tried the same.
Hey #16 ana nzelu, Honestly.
All these are Sata’s ideas. BaMinister is bwafyaaaaaaaa
The problem we have in Zambia is politicking,If the local authority is left to work on its own, all these issues can easily be implemented,right now that Minister does not even what goes on the Waste Management area.Give autonomy to councils and build in systems that can prevent corruption.We have Car Park attendants on cairo road who most of the time just pocket the money.The guy gets peanuts but collects quite a bit for the council, do you expect him not to be corrupt and charge half the fee for his pockets? This dellusional Mrs Masebo.I wonder how many times you Mrs Masebo has correctly thrown litter in public, start with education, then experiment on a pilot scheme, then start extending depending on the success, cos this will have given a weapon to stregthen the systems and finally extend to cover all areas-of course with adequate personel numbers,cameras,the litigation process for stubborn chaps like Ci Citizen ,Mwaba,Kanswe, so many things need to be in place
Kuku# you see this boy 16# Hey subnormal Iam pretty sure he happy to see the state of our towns to continue to be the same they are today. Iam convinced these are kind of boys who misused that toilet pa Town center. Imagine if you went in in mid 1980s you could find feases on the deck/roof of the building. Sata came and made you clean this dirty and you want to make illusions Hey. Do you that Sata was once Local government and house minister. Masebo what she did is just to go to archives and research who introduced the figures of K300 fine. Was it not Sata? If you were not yet born Hey ask your grandfather before you start talking nonsense here on the block. Go to hell with your IQ Test Iam illigent enough I dont need your test. I have good understanding of the world and I have been exposed and I have been given responsibilities in the past. I would love people like Hey bring their suggestion instead of seconding or supporting someones ideas. These small boys who leave in illusions.
#21 Easy Mwaice calm down, you have over reacted to #16, what is Hey is saying is the word ‘dull’ is not a simple word to justify your usage.In your context ‘dull’ was meant to say -less intelligent- which Hey is saying one needs an IQ test not that you Easy you need an IQ Test,NO, mwaice wandi, he didnt mean you in the illustration in #16 but what was expressing the logic that goes with qualification for one to be dull.So calm down, you missed his explanation.
Well Big kuku 22, thank you for the advice I became senstive because of 17 posting. It seemed to me he went he was praising 16# with his IQ Test.
Ba Kuku do you listen to Dr. Jose´s programme on saturdays. Today he was talking about heroes using Zangalish he is an expert. His is better than mine.
How are these PF controlled councils operating?I believe Shi Chilufya promised us to see major changes within 90 days.Mind you,this was after he had known that he had lost to LPM.Ifwe fwe baku Shang`ombo tulefwaya ukumona development.Kuno ku Shang`ombo,if you spit or throw litre on our freeways,you`re liable to a fine of $250 to pin.Let`s encourage what Masebo is trying to do even if it might be politically motivated.Zed has been on stand sill for a long time,so whatever positve step someone takes should be applauded.Let`s give such individuals the support system they need so that these kind of initiatives can succeed.The impact of a clean enviroment would definately boost our tourism and reduction in our health care costs.
Chapi that must be not a political issue traditional Zambians we are clean pipo but unfortunate we have resort to clean only when we are recieving visitors. Masebo is decision is not political motivated but just trying to restal a lost culture. The problem if you stop paying pipo salaries ati your job is less important then you kill a good tradition óf cleaniness. Mwana in the western a caretaker will do his job own a mercedes Benz take his children to getting school,$3000 no one will both and ask him why. Ãmwe ku Zambia ati Bapamwamba what a philosophy!!!!
Mwebena Kalale…Who won the fight between Esther Phiri and her opponent?
Reigning Women International Boxing Federation (WIBF) Champion Esther Phiri has become the new Global Boxing Union (GBU) Super Featherweight champion after defeating Bulgarian Challenger Rodostina Valcheva in the second round. Fighting before a packed crowd at Woodlands Staduim this evening , Rodostina could not accomodate the reigning WIBF Superfeather weight champion jabs and uppercuts. The outspoken Bugarian failed to respond to Esther’s jabs especially in the close of of the second round which made the referee Richard Phiri to step in to stop the fight. Rodostina who was rushed to her change room reportedly sustained a sprained on her right arm. Over 400 boxing fans braved the cold to watch the thrilling match. Speaking in post fight interview, Esther said she was happy to win the fight which she dedicated to all Zambians for their support. Her trainer and promoter Anthony Mwamba said his boxer’s victory was a confirmation of his earlier statement that Esther was going to rule the
the world. However Rodostina demanded for a re-match as early as in October saying she was going straight into her gym to prepare. And National Milling Company NMC Managing Director Peter Cotan said the new GBU champion would rest before travelling to the United States of America for international exposure. In the other non- title heavey weight bout, Joseph Ramos Phiri defeated fomer National Heavey Weigh Brain Bwantu by unanimous points decision. All the judges scored 3 points in favour of Phiri. ZANIS
Ba Kuku you see why our ladies dont want to blog here apart from Ms Daka all went to watch Esther Phiri fight. She has won again. Viva la Zambia.

Whoever is running this blog.May you kindly spice up this good service you`re providing by posting topics that would inspire thorough debate.It shouldn`t necesarilly be topics politicians are currently dwelling on but relevant issues that affect the nation. Topics such as the Constitution,2011 elections,FAZ malfunction,Gender equality,Economic empowerment,Land issues and so many others.
I do agree witth #34 lets ve topics that speaks to authority like statistic reports such as how many police officers were killed in the line of duty.how much has the level of ilitrate increased or reduced since this govement was put in power.How is hiv affecing the police,military,health workers,what the gov is doing to reduce unemplyment and many more.I have seen that there a lot of pipo on this blog who I do not think they work because they have all the time to even contribute more than ten times on one subject,One wonders if they have anything to do and their contributions are all meaningless or attacking one another.You can bring political topics but do not politisize everybody’s mind because they will all end up like Sata ie good for nothing I mean U do not know what you are opposing.Sometimes u even oppose yourself.
Kambilombilo some of us we are computer flick so we have our computer everywhere even in the toilet. Nowadays I cannot a job without a computer in short we are computerized. The house digital, streaming, TV through internet so you see how advanced we are you cannot bring you rubbish arguement that some pipo are working. Is your cellular phone online or you never heard about this technology. My dear all my communication are on my body like my nervos system. I hope you a net of spider that how we are connected. Meeting we do them on conference basis I can discuss with someone in Japan via video conference, so many alternatives.On one point I agree with you we can discuss everything but some topics lack interest check on the archives you will see the statistics. Coumting the nummber of those who died wont help us we need to tacle problems affecting us like unemployment ok. Moreover zero % of popi have access to computer in Zambia you can on this blog you cannot boasr of 30 pipo.
Teach people to clean and and maintain the cleanliness instead. People learn very little from penalties. Give them, and let people take the responsibilities of keeping their places clean. let people know that they are the government and that they should participate in cleaning their areas. Let people know that they are ruling in every aspect of their lives. There is no government anywhere else apart from where the people are. ‘If you see anyone throwing papers around, ask him/her to pick them’. The government should show a good example by facilitating the desposing of gabbage in right place and, in time.

I would be very happy to know what else EASY does apart from blogging. Boy! this guy’s got tones and tones of idling time. That aside, the minister needs support from all of us. Zambia needs leader such as herself. Leaders who are prepared to make tough and unpopular decisions in the best interest of our welfare. Understandably, culprits are not very amused with her stance towards the right direction. My advise to you opposers/offenders is that refreshen youselves well before going into town, or carry enough money to pay at public loos if you know your bowels are so active or got a small bladder. And if you dont have money and you got nothing to do in town please stay at home -start blogging like EASY-until you get yourself a job. We are sick and tired of seeing filth, something drastic such as this had to be done to change our mindset. VIVA MASEBO
NOTICE: Those interested in buying KUKU’s and JOSE’s infamous bible-RUFQUA- Latest edition now available at universal church bookshop. It costs a fortune, worth buying though. Limited copies remaining. Wish you happy studying.
You guys back home, I wish you a very wonderful and properous Heoroes and Unity holiday.Kuku ensure that your shop at Main Masala remains open during this time.Ba Joze do not forget to make the best tea at Inters during this very important holiday.Cleanliness goes by culture.If you feel proud to throw a piece of paper in the open without geting ashamed then no one can easily stop you.Therefore a measure of what the Minister is talking about should not be received with suggested shields.Let us take it with caution and implement it accordingly.Of course necessary measures should be put in place such as how far a litter bin should be placed from the the other in the city. I remember in 1998 when I was from the Netherlands that I had to keep on to what I was intending to throw away but could not find a bin within my proximity in the city.Look at the people who even urinate any how.It is a particular group of individuals.Zero in and tackle the issue at that level.Don’t generalise.

Greetings fellow blogers I’ve observed that most of the comments raised on this issue and many other in Zed we always have to blame goverment for and indeed as our leaders they will always recieve critism over many issues but I believe that to a greater degree Zambians need to accept the blame as well. I was tought that cleaness is as much my responsibility as is is anyone else.All things begin with implimenting rules I ensure that my family understands the importance of cleanliness in the home and on thier person e.g in the neibourhoods I’ve leaved I ensure that I have no cockroaches and no rats and it is somthing we have managed to achieve with reasonably degree of success but some of my neighbours do not make any effort at all hence roaches tend to come into my home from the outside homes. What I’am saying is if we all make an effort we can make a change but you can not blame always blame Govt even my grand mother fm the village wud never pee in public areas or throw Litter around
I believe for us to see a change in our country Zambia, it has to take each and every person to be responsible for what we do. No amount of blame on the government will help. As much as the government can put up laws to deter this, still the general publich has to bear their part also and that is to ensure they do all they can to make the environment clean.
I see something that disturbs me, when such things as bins are put up, people will take them for whatever they use them and that does not help the situation.
Its our country and we have to take responsibity and until that is borne is every Zambian, we will not see much progress.
#46 Evolution, you’ve really and completly evolved into proper human being like most of us who abhor dirt and dissorderliness. Unfortunately, others never went through the full evolution course and they disdain cleaniliness and orderlines just like their cousins- Pig community. They will shoot down any suggestion and overtures to keep themselves and the environment clean, they will bring stupid excuses like those we’ve read above. Those excuses such as shortage of public toilets can’t hold because this is not about toilets but atitude especially us men. Its really rare to find a woman stooping down to wee in open public dispite the fact that they too go town where there are few public toilets.
Its a good thing the minister and the government at large is doing.The thing is when the amount is as it is many people will almost by all costs no do thoses acts.When the government gets this money it will use it to put up public toilets and more bins around the cities and town.Its a very good move.I can now see us moving towards development.Singapore is a country that did a similar thing.it worked out i dont see why not for Zambia.
Ba Kabaso uku ku South Africa keep us posted on our Former Information Minister VJ Mwaanga rushed there. We have him in our prayers.
#46-50 are a relief from the comedy we get from ‘Easy’. If only he can use vernacular probably more people would understand what he tries to say.
Kafupi- 1000 suits
Easy- 5 computers. “high tech”
Do the 2 figures above ring a bell to someone?
I do not think this is the best solution to the problem. They talk abaout throwing litter when they have not put a single bin in the country. This is just increasing the cops’ take home bribes from the would be offenders, especially for throwing litter and urinating in public places.
#51 Hey, you are correct,these figures ring a bell.
Easy is a Security Guard monitoring 5 CCTV screens and he is calling it “high tech”
#52 Jean there you go again, we all no there are few bins if any, but that does not licence you to be littering wth impunity. And i will tell you what, personally i dont care if this will increase the so called ‘cops take away bribes’ as long as it deters you and i from being nuisences. In any case who would want to part away with his hard earned 50 or 60 pin. Mind you the charges have been raised a hundred fold and obviously the bribes wont be cheap either.

Kayata 53# stop attacking me slowly you exposing you dull mental- Iam sorry to tell this, you seem to be an educated fool. Instead advise Masebo how she best implement her newly imposed rules. Talking about 5 screens as hightech just show how your inferiority in mind is. If you dont have anything to contribute pilz leave space and bandwith for useful beings on this blogger. If Iam a securico well and good its a good job other than lazing around. Be aware someone who doesnt something is worth a batch of bones and fresh as a parasite. Nishi wabela eshi? You kind of people we call in school you used to go thru the window. Kuku where are you this Kayata boy is busy attacking me for making an ordinary Zambian understand the amount of money involved in this swindler case. Ms Masebo pilz give Kayata a job of collecting levy in Munyumbwe Village maybe he can have something to do. I think can fare very well.

Hello people.
Lets all cut the crap on personal attacks and how highly or lowly educated one is. It only shows the the kind of education one received and that is the kind which one was taught WHAT TO THINK instead of HOW TO THINK.
Please there’s nobody I know of that likes to live in filth.

Did the MMD really win the 2006 general elections?The reason I`ve asked is the alarming rate at which their seats are being nullified.Pretty soon we might end up with half or all their MP seats nullified.Can someone who`s following this shed some light?
I have a suggestion on how this issue of public nuisance can be handled. The Council should demploy Town Centre Wardens who should be given the authority to issue fixed penalty tickets. The Wardens should start by encouraging and educating the populace who go to the town centre to take pride and not to drop litter. Businesses in the towns should also fully support the council’s action as it helps attract people to the towns if the areas are clear of litter. There was once pride in the town of Chingola when the council was presenting the message to all residents and visitors to help keep the town clean and clear of litter. It is also encouraging the careful disposal of cigarette ends as these amount to litter. People should be issued with fixed penalty tickets for littering when they have refused to pick their rubbish up upon request and this includes refusing to pick up a cigarette end.
The council should also remind drivers that they could also be issued with a fixed penalty ticket for litter if they are seen throwing litter or cigarette ends from their car.
Did the MMD really win the 2006 general elections?
# 63, without doubt the MMD won the 2006 elections at national level in a competitively democratic process where the leading party carries the mandate. Remember we are in a multiparty system where all participating parties work to marshal leading votes which MMD did. What is happening is that Levy’s MMD is laboring to instill a transparent political culture some how too dangerous for peace in my independent view. They are being too practical on separation of powers, and independence of the judiciary. This is a complete turn around from any past regimes when ruling parties were never subject to any independent judicial review. Independence of any office in both the Kaunda and Chiluba eras carried a death mark which Levy’s administration doesn’t believe in hence no clandestine death ever since as much as they have the capacity to get anyone, any time from any corner of the Globe. What you are seeing is a transparent system. Comparatively, at national level no opposition party could have beaten MMD considering its approach to a confused plural system obtaining over the years in our country. With exception of the same ruling MMD, all in the opposition regrettably sold and are still selling themselves out on regional lines which majority Zambians never buy. With the UPND Tonga stigma for Presidency, HH will never rule Zambia unless integrated in some nationally visionally party while Sata is a comedian we should count on to keep our politics lives with his ramble. He will never rule this country come what may. If not careful, the same MMD advocates and strategists will offer this country a version 3 of MMD after the version 2 is over. Ever wondered why they steadily protect MMD, demonize any opposition but never enter mainstream political roles except marshaling themselves economic powers for now? Politics has become too expensive in Zambia. Those with bottomless pockets will have unquestionable roles. Strategists know the inside out of the obtaining politics across this country.I rest with my independence.
Gluco61#, No no you know when you are smart and have a vision those who dont have ideas they start anlishing insults on you this is what is happening to me on this blog. It all started by my Zangalish which I have explained now and then if you cant figure it out please free it. I speak home two international langauges including english and I well educated. Such pipo dont bother me I just laugh when I read their posting. Nhkataboy 64#, you are too fast tell Masebo to start registering citizen and non citizens with their permanent adress for easy identification and location in case of committing such a offence. This should be step number one. 2. Put in place materials like dustbins, containers etcs where they pipo should thrugh the litter. 3. Inform the public about the new changes through the media and radio.4. Set a date when these fines with take effect. 5. During this process train pipo who will educate the public and enforcing the law. 6. Using technology such video cameras ….
ctd.. from 66# and normal digital cameras to make photos graphs of offenders i.e by false parking of a car. Payment of the fine should be with a period of two weeks at the Boma not on the street. This is a better weapon to fight corruption. Lastly encourage all Zambians to have an account at a Bank. I believe this a systematic way a leader should think and enforce the law becuase in the long run you eradicate many problems. The money the Boma get it use it to repair roads in the city and towns which are very dusty which also contribute to the uncleaniness of our surrounding. I think I have summed this topic and Lusakatimes you can remove it, it has over stayed but pilz show Masebo what I have outlined. If she need more advice she is free to ask we shall give it out in the interest of the nation our mother land. Kuku dont you think with such ideas we can reduce even unemployment from 85% somewhere under 25%.
I have a question to you fello Zambians: How come the death rate of prominent citizens has greatly reduced??? Is it just a concidence? Accidents, and shootings of prominent politicians has greatly gone down!!! Please tell me why??? By the way it is only 3:57 pm now (pacific time).
Many-Eyes-of-God(68),
Its because a God fearing practical Democrat is reigning as head of state.Did you hear KK 2 weeks ago saying in his time they acted with precision and determination every time opposition and tribal politics tried to emerge.Do you know what that means? Gibson Chigaga, Nalumino Mundia then Wezi Kaunda and Edward Shamwana. Levy doesn’t believe in that parochial politics.Hence all these nonsense from every jim and jack.He is the like of Kenya’s Kibaki of ideal based politicking without state machinery reprisal on opponents. Under Levy we will never hear of clandestine ends of opponents.
