Local government and housing minister Ben Tetamashimba has directed Ndola City Council to curb illegal land allocation.
Mr Tetamashimba said the council should carry thorough investigation in cases of illegal allocation of plots allegedly by some Councilors and Resident development Committee officials and bring the culprits to book.
Mr. Tetamashimba gave the directive during the installation of new Ndola City Council Mayor Charles Chiwaya and his deputy John Chanda yesterday at the Civic Centre lawn.
He said all the Resident Development Committees (RDC) which would be found wanting should be dissolved and the culprits should be dealt with in accordance with the law.
He said government was happy with the role the integrity Committee was playing in fighting corruption in the allocation of plots in Ndola.
The minister said the integrity Committee formation at local authorities was a government initiative which must be supported by all stakeholders in the interest of national development.[quote]
He said land management did not fall within the mandate of individual councilors and RDC officials because it was not part of their job description to do so as individuals.
He called for hard work, diligence, transparency and honesty in the execution of duties from all local authorities in the country so that people could enjoy a better service from the Councils.
He reiterated the call that Government wanted to operate on a Zero-tolerance to corruption of any form and anyone found in the neighbourhood of corrupt practices should be dealt with in accordance with the law.
He said all councils that were not working in line with government’s resolve on zero-tolerance to corruption would be punished by government because the people of Zambia expected to enjoy a better service from their local authorities.
ZANIS
It cant work since its MMD officials who are involved and they are law unto themselves.
Lets see how they are going handle this , ba MMD
Nice line Ben, Dora is in the neighbourhood of corruption, You yoursellf are in the neighbourhood of that on that solwezi cash story, RB’s son is on GMO food, what are you going to do about that?
Teta talks too much rubish, unfortunately he only talks to be noticed not to bring positive change..he just wants VP position in 2011 and that would be disaster…
It is the same teta who is giving them power. This MMD thugs are unstopable coz they draw powers from MMD’s NEC, and the president himself. Therefore let us wait and see.
Now i know why they named him Tate, cos he talks and talks and talks, just for show.
Teta and the rest of the MMD thugs, change is commin an dont think you are untouchable
This is very good Mr. Teta.
We must curb this problem immediately.
Lets support Teta on this score coz some of us who own plots we find it disheartening to find someone encroaching on your area jus bcoz he/she has given a councilor or RDC official some kick backs.
Teta needs our support, the only thing he has to clarify is that why no address his cadres who are law like somoene said and why is everyone in MMD so quiet with the taking over of security funcstions at state house on may 25th by MMD cadres? This party is wrotten and worse than UNIP when UNIP was at this stage the MMD has reached (taking people for granted) because MMD is fullt greedy and driven by Money, what a shame!

#12, cute Ka’doyo, that resembles some snakelike creatures women pretend to fear in bed at night… But for the time being we take it as some typical breakfast…
#TK its familiar with “that thing” which I cant seem to put a finger on and trying to find out from Morningbreakfast what exactly is it
#20 Morningbreakfast , I like anything and everything to do with breakfast but, SNAKES, awe no thanks! (poor straight women) Thanks for your reply though.
YAYA BA TETA MANA KAFWAPO
well guys cutting the story short!!! who does not eata row of saucage and two eggs aside?
Chanda grew up in Lusaka. He went to law school in London . After his studies he decided to go back to Lusaka , because he could be a big man there . There he opened his new law office.
The first day, he saw a man coming up to his office and decided to make a big impression.
As the man came to the door, Chanda pretended to be on the phone and motioned the man to take a seat.
Chanda said into the phone: “No. Absolutely no. You tell those clowns in New York that am not travelling all the way that side to settle the case for less than a million bucks .
“Yes. The Appeals Court has agreed to hear the case next week.
“I’ll be handling the primary argument and the other members of my team will provide support.
“Okay. Give the State Prosecutor my regards and …”
The government also should not be lating Zambians build and then come later to distroy there houses after they have spent money building
The visitor sat patiently as Chanda rattled instructions.
Finally, Chanda put down the telephone and said: “I’m sorry for the delay, but as you can see, I’m very busy. What can I do for you?”
The man said: “I’m from Zamtel . I’ve come to connect your phone.”
#24 morningbreakfast, rhe angle at which the pic was taken makes one wonder what the one prepapring that BF had in mind, TYPICAL!
This man has verbal diarrhoea , you cant differentiate when he talks sense & non-sense! Teta ulangumfwisha umuselu, you’ll fall with a mighty thud one day,despite your increasingly bony frame!
#25/27 very funny. what an embarrassing situation! Lol
#24, TK, I got that pic from internet, as one amongest many other funny ones. And i guesse you too have such funny pics. as well… So don’t forcus on it as a way to gain angelity… we are all boys and you could be having the worst ever… not mentioning playboy related articles… Just advise to have it changed if you really mean to help and not politicise…
let us wait and see what 2011 will do to TETA and his bootlinking tactic because when he wants votes he will offer them plots but now he whats to cheat people that he is clean yet not
please zambians we have to teach these cheats a lesson.
Just a check on my gravatar update!!!
well kind of funny!!! i ve changed but it seem it has come to stay…
#31 morningbreakfast, am not politicise anything, if anything I dont even seen anything in the pic but however it gives a clue what kind of ‘hobbies’ you like
#34 morningbreakfast, somethings will never change, thats just the way it is.
Impressive stuff man of action Minister Teta.The way it is put up right now indicates that there is only a desire, but nothing is yet being done on corruption.
