The Post Newspapers has managed to print its edition for today, June 22nd 2016 despite the Zambia Revenue Authority shutting down its printing plant.
The newspapers with the headline ZRA turns Post off was available by 07 Hours in selected places in Lusaka although its distribution was limited.
There are fears that the ZRA will move in to confiscate the printed copies from vendors when they are distributed as the publication has been placed in distress and entails that all revenue generated by the newspapers should be recovered by ZRA.
Sources at the newspapers revealed that today’s edition was printed in Namibia through a commercial printer.
The Post Newspaper employs more than 1,500 workers.
ZRA officers yesterday raised the Post Newspaper Limited and closed down the publication.
The officers arrived at Post Newspapers head office and printing press around 17:00hours in the company of armed police, demanding that the company pays a total of K68 million in tax arrears immediately.
Post Newspapers general manager for finance Rowena Zulu explained that the money ZRA was demanding had already been paid almost in total.
But a ZRA officer responded that they had not yet accessed the money and thus they could not withdraw the warrant of distress.
The lawyers from Nchito and Nchito then produced a court order restraining the officers from issuing a warrant of distress on Post Newspapers, but the officers disobeyed the order. Instead, the ZRA officers chased all employees who were still working at the head office, before locking up the entrance.
At the printing plant, the ZRA officers also switched off the printing press, locked up the premises, leaving the heavily armed police officers in charge.
Eastern people’s brains just hasn’t kept up with human evolution.
Thou shall not underrate the cartel. These are white collar criminals. I am not surprised.
THE GREATEST POWER IN THE WORLD, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, TRIED TO SUPPRESSED A BUTTERFLY, IT FAILED. MUHAMMAD ALI CAME OUT STRONGER THAN HE WAS BEFOR BECAUSE WHAT BELIEVED IN. WHEN HE DIED EVEN THE GOVERNMENT THAT IMPRISONED HIM ADMITTED THAT ALI WAS THE GREATEST. ONE DAY ON THE ZAMBIAN SOIL A MONUMENT WILL BE ERECTED IN HONOUR OF FRED M’MEMBE AND THE POST. FRED REMAIN FOCUSED AND DETERMINED.
Fred Mmembe doesnt need to pay tax, what he needs is a stooge president he can control. HH is a good candidate for his president Stooge.
Voting for Lungu will be like eating your own vomit, You can not expect a person who has messed up to clean up, uwainyelawila teti aipipe, we need others to sort out amafi yakwa EL, In short EL needs ukumupipa nanya amafi ayanuka sana kubena Zambia.
The past news paper must die completely. It is this newspaper which destroyed the real image of president HH. They were busy writing HH is a tribalist, HH is a satannist, HH is privatization thief e.t.c.
JOSEPH KABWE YOU A VERY FOOLISH PERSON LEAVE PEOPLE FROM EASTERN PROVINCE FROM THE FOOLISHNESS OF THE POST NEWS PAPER WHICH IS VERY IRRESPONSIBLE. ASK THEM TO PAY THE MONEY THE OWE ZRA, AND DBZ.
AT 1. Joseph Kabwe, please, please take your sick head to your one sense imbecile mother. Do play with all Easterners. insult HH but, never all in southern province people. Its blasphemy.
ARE YOU SURPRISED?
HOW CAN YOU HOLD ANYONE AT THE TOP DOWN?
ESPECIALLY NOT RIGHT NOW!
This jungle justice being perpetrated by Lungu.
ZRA is no court or registrar of companies to close companies.
This politics of desperation by Lungu and his gang of thiefs.
There is nothing like jungle justice. Law is law. Let him just pay. He is now hollier than thau. Nonsense.
The Post is an Army as it a voice for those that are unable to be heard!
EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINION WHETHER RIGHT OR WRONG! the actions determine long term result!
THE POST IS HERE TO STAY!
SORRY TO ALL WHO ARE AGGRIEVED BY THIS!
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER LEADER ON HIS WAY OUT!
ENJOY THE AMBIANCE OF STATE HOUSE AND WHAT IT BRINGS FOR YOUR MINIONS!
ITS OFFICIAL! WITH ALL THE MONEY THE CURRENT SECT OF PF HAS WASTED! YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY OUT!
DO NOT BE CHEATED BY THOSE DEMOGRAPHICS THAT ARE BEEN SHOWN TO YOU! EDGAR CHAGWA AGWA MANJE!
IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO HAVE ON YOUR LEGACY ACCORDING TO THE USELESS “SONTA EPO BA BOMBA”?
NGA BA POST BA FULWA NGA BA KALIPA! BALE SHUPA! TAMWABA KWANISHE!
ONE POST!
FAKE. MMEMBE IS HISTORY. EVEN HITLER THOUGHT THE THIRD REICH WILL RULE FOR 1000 YEARS. THIS EGOISTIC SELF CENTRED CRIMINAL WILL BE NO MORE. HE CALLED CHILUBA A THIEF. HE CALLED MWANAWASA AN *****. HE CALLED SOUTHERN PROVINCE A BANTU STAN. 365 DAYS FROM LAST YEAR, IT IS LUNGU THIS , LUNGU THAT. HE HAS DESTROYED ALL INSTITUTIONS IN ZAMBIA. HE DESTROYED THE CHURCH, LAZ, THE JUDICIARY AND EVERTHING. HE WANTS US TO START KILLING EACH OTHER. THIS MAN IS A BOMB WHO SHOUDN’T BE ANYWHERE NEAR THE CORRIDORS OF POWER. NEVER AGAIN ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A GOVERNMENT OF MMEMBE BY MMEMBE AND FOR MMEMBE.
He will be gone to soon than letter. How do avoid taxes for such a long time and you play victim. Let him just look for the money and pay. I am sure ZRA will lay its hands off the media house.
Indeed the post should stay beyond this. But this should make them a good corporate business that pays taxes on time. They must pay at all cost otherwise this will set bad precedence to other companies. Post Must Pay..//,.
??
Freddy enjoys this game. He is not even heart broken as some of you may be thinking or rejoicing. He calls this temporal set back. He is deliberately allowing this to happen. He is enticing Lungu to cause problems for himself. I’m sure he has a printing plant somewhere in the sky. Otherwise where were those newspapers printed from in the streets toady. It is nice sometimes to be complicated like Freddy. I enjoy seeing the guy when there are big problems and I’m watching the how the game is being played.
Let reality hit him. He thinks he can afford to be printing from Namibia every day and in good time to circulate. It is not possible. Companies which have evaded tax have been reported badly by his newspaper and yet him is worse. What goes around comes around.
Mr Fred Mmembe, Just Pay. No one is above the law. Even Criminals employ people. Whether the Post Newspapers employ 1 500 people or not , let them follow the law of the Land and just pay what is due to Government. It is the revenue the govt collects which goes to service delivery and payment of public workers. Meanwhile we await the conclusion of the DBZ issue. The money is meant to be used for the development of Zambia. Not to be kept in Mmembe’s pockets.
why is it being kept in Lungu’s pockets then?
officers disobeyed the order from the court…???……If I wr the Judge who issued the order I would lock up the stubborn officers for the whole weekend just to send message that court orders must be respected at all times…
Toni Montana This is not about law. These are juts politics. Olo muli ba cadre sure. Be reasonable for once. We have followed events and the post has been paying taxes. Tell me if Richard Sakala’s newspapers or Harry Kalaba’s newspapers have paid all their tax obligation. We work or have relatives and friends in ZRA. Please do not fool us. We know what is going on. You are just disturbed that the Post hasn’t been closed paka napa voting day.
Tax has to be paid by everyone, the Post is a very big company to be running away from tax. Those of you that are supporting the Post are wrong, employees are paying tax and small companies are paying tax. No company should be an exemption, unless you are saying that you don’t pay pay tax yourselves then you can support the Post.
We are not supporting non payment of taxes but rule of law has to be honored. The courts ruled but then officers from ZRA under LUNGU’s instruction have broken the agreement to fix the post.
We are against the selective application of justice!!
I’ve seen it for myself – some parastatals owe ZRA and NAPSA millions of Kwacha and the Government is silent on this. Have they not also collected taxes on behalf of the ZRA and not remitted them to the Authority? Are they not also under the same obligations to pay?
What is good for the goose should also be good for the gander.
viva Press Freedom …..pukucwe mu nyelela siliba . The same paper you are closing today will be your only refuge tomorrow … remember that .
Apparently it has nothing to do with press freedom! It is just compliance with the law. Would you really be happy if companies never paid their tax obligations? Ask yourself questions before you start supporting anybody! I only hope this will be extended to all the defaulting companies. It is a good start. Membe champions fight against corruption which makes it a good starting point. Membe himself knows that ECL is right on this one.
This has nothing to do with press freedom. Its the law bwana.
Do we have two different tax laws? One for Post and another one for Times?
If you dont want to pay tax Fred go online and lets see how you will eat!!
Freddy is far ahead of them. He knew that the kind of work and criticism he carries against governments can make them try to shut them. He knew about this a long time ago.
So what?
alungu no nzelu
..jungle law indeed…..the civilised law require ZRA to present their case to the bailiffs… its the Bailiff’s mandate to do the rest….
When things get tough only the strongest survive, Iam sure the post will pull through.
They can if only they can write good things about govt which will make Pf wins. If kanene could just compose a praise song for the president and gets pardoned what about a story teller with a print company. I thot Fred was too smart.
Post has been stealing from its employees by deduction PAYE then not remitting the same. Anyway thus big boys fight. will just watch from afar.
Chisala M You are just disturbed that the Post is on the streets. This is political no matter how you try to coat it with tax this or tax that. This newspaper pays tax. If you want to be objective go to ZRA and find out how much taxes they have been paying. They may not have paid everything but for sure they have been paying taxes. Our government is just making its self unpopular and may pay a high price for this. Lungu has been a president only for a year but the Post has been in this game of fighting governments for a long time. Let him just find other better things that will make him retain power.
The international community would never support lawlessness and in the same vein they are not the ones to develop Zambia… Zambia will be developed by Zambians as well as Africa by Africans that should sink in your head…
So Freddy doesn’t want to pay anyone now cause he doesn’t even pay his employees. The Chickens are now coming home to roost. Every dog has its day. Time for the Post to face the music for their actions
Yes you are right. They enjoy this kind of music. It is a music contest between Freddy and Edgar. May the best dancer win. Meanwhile we are on the terraces watching the show.
Mmembe has set a decoy & ZRA being used have fallen into a trap. The International community will now put serious pressure on Government & just wait & see. Let ZRA do the same to likes of KCM, etc & maybe we will know that the clamp down is not selective.
Let HH and his minions bailout their friend including loud mouthed MISA Chairperson Helen Mwale …The Post called the late President Fredrick Chiluba a thief and yet they are big thieves stealing even PAYE deducted from their employee’s salaries… And that useless corrupt Judge who wanted to stop the noble cause by the ZRA officials of maximising tax collection should be identified and should not get his/her salary this month-end and security should be withdrawn, it is gratifying that the ZRA Officials ignored that compromised Judge…
This is another flip flop thinking from the PF govt. You cannot close such a company when its election time especially Zambia is experiencing hardships in the economy. People lost jobs and the govt is causing more people to lose jobs. To me i will say BAD TIMING and when they lose these elections that will be the end of the party
@ Mary, There is nothing like bad timing, should be paid when it is due even during election times… In fact ZRA should check whether import tax on todays issue has been paid…
@ Mary, There is nothing like bad timing,Tax should be paid when it is due even during election times… In fact ZRA should check whether import tax on todays issue has been paid…
@Zakeyo the president is just interested in winning an election which he has lost already not in the affairs of the people whom he has fired in the post nespaper. over 1500 workers its about how many families are there depending on that income. Now the repercussion will cause him to lose becoz he has wrong advisers like you.
@Mary, For your own information Fred Mmembe has been stealing from the same employees by not remitting PAYE to the Tax Man BUT pocketing everything for his personal agendas…Whether President Lungu loses or not that’s none of my business but I can tell you that President Lungu will win the elections because he speaks the truth and does not want to shield anyone breaking the law… Already HH has lost because of siding with Mmembe…
edgar will go through and membe will suffer more.I like the step that zra has taken.The hour has come for membe to dance pelete.
VIVA HH 2016
Here the topic is about the post closure and circulating of paper even after closure, then the dull upnd cadre says viva HH. What’s this nonsense?
ZAMBIA IS USED TO VOTE FOR MEDIOCRE LEADERSHIP, THAT IS WHY THIS BOY THINKS THAT LUNGU IS UNBEATABLE. WHO DOESN’T KNOW THAT LUNGU IS A THIEF? WHO DOESN’T KNOW THAT LUNGU IS THE ONE FANNING VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY? WHO DOESN’T KNOW THAT IT IS LUNGU WHO HAS INTRODUCED POLITICAL INTOLERANCE AND HATE IN OUR COUNTRY? WHO DOESN’T KNOW THAT LUNGU HAS LOOTED OUR NATIONAL TREASURY? WHO DOESN’T KNOW THAT MOST OF THE DEBT THAT PF BORROWED UNDER THE PRETEXT OF DEVELOPING THE ECONOMY HAS BEEN SHARED AMONG THEMSELVES AND NOW LUNGU IS MORE THAN23 MILLION MULA RICH? THIS THIEF JAMESON CHAKOLWA IS A SERIOUS DANGER TO OUR COUNTRY, AND ZAMBIA CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE OUR COUNTRY DESTROYED FURTHER BY HAVING LUNGU AS OUR PRESIDENT AFTER AUGUST 11. ABASH LOOTER ABASH! ABASH CORRUPTION ABASH!
Why are the retirees quiet? They are owned a lot by government. Let them occupy government offices and involve the police to lock the offices. It’s simple solution to their problems
The Pf manifesto promised to introduce inflation related pension schemes but is failing to pay even the little pension which has been overtaken by inflation which is now in double digits. As pensioners we cannot go on strike and may be your idea of going to State House is the only option.
Wina azalila after 11th August! VIVA HH 2016
Sympathizers don’t just complain what ZRA has done, rather contribute and tell hh and gbm also to contribute and pay $6.1 so that your post can be reopened. Lungu will be up to 2026.
Is that how an “unbeatable” government needs to act? They are like frightened little children who think their stolen sweets will be taken away
If all taxpayers begin to behave like the Post on tax, all services, and eventually the country, will shut down – no salaries for teachers, medical staff, judges, all civil servants. People must think hard about the businesses they want to entertain. In other countries, Mmembe would be in prison for treason as that’s how serious they take tax matters!
People say the country needs improvement, the economy can improve if people pay tax and pay in time
hahaha post ungaseke,its not about post favoring who who or who its about 53.8 million that belongs to zra,mind u thats rebased if it was five years ago its 53.8 billion thats a lot of money, if its true they have channeld those funds, then we shall all know soon,nothing is hidden under the sun,how did we manage to know some underground worshipers
Kikiki..in the end GRZ and ZRA will end up paying the Post more than what they are owed making the common tax payer the greatest loser. Its game on bane..meantime its more popcorn for me from the terraces.
If wishes were horses, beggars might ride…
Mmembe and his Post should just pay the tax and stop playing monkey tricks……even in developed countries tax evasion is a serious crime. Do not blame Lungu for your management failure. Pay the tax for govt to use the same for developmental programmes.
How special are you to be exempted from paying tax ? Let your HH sell some animals and bail you out so that you continue insulting innocent people day in and day out……on August 11th,we shall show you that the people of Zambia are greater than the Post and you can not change our minds with your propaganda.
We are tired of this so called Post which is never objective in their reporting. You mean Lungu and PF have never done anything right in this Country for them to deserve a good headline in your ka paper ? Such hypocrisy is what made me stop buying your paper and I don’t care if it is closed……so what ?
Given the two devils, I would rather vote for the one who drinks beer because I do too since it is not criminal……but will not vote for a free mason because I am a Christian. Why do you portray wrong people specialized in GBV as messiahs and innocent people, you paint them black ? Are you one of them ?
In all honest, there are very few companies operating in the current economic climate are upto date with Tax remittances due to cash flow problems (has the government paid the VAT refund in full to mining companies?) (Even most of the PAYE deducted from your pays sometimes does not go on time), ask ZRA, they will confirm that. What we seem to miss is the statement from the finance Manager, that almost all taxes have been paid. If you have ever dealt with ZRA officers with scores to settle, they will ignore even receipts issued by themselves. From previous reports, most of the amounts are from penalties on late payments and not the principle and these are generated automatically and their system is still in a messy since its upgrade, it needs manual recons.
This has just boosted the posts audience which was on a decline.
The GRZ have poor media advisors. They should have explained to people why the post is being shut because now it looks like this is all political.
But it is political! Kambwili stated publicly that he will close the Post. Edgar has stated publicly that he would close the Post. There are other companies that owe a lot more than the Post.
The normal way to get overdue tax is to agree a payment plan with the defaulting company. This happens all the time. Why the rush to close down a Zambian company employing over 1,500 Zambian families?
In the same event you mean HH n GBM have not talked sense for them not to appear on the news. So the post is filing the vacuum
Never imagined that Lungu would turn out to be the worst despot Zambia has ever known. Never a fan of Mmembe after I realised who he really is but shutting down the Newspaper isn’t the solution. Why couldn’t they obtain the money they deposit in their bank accounts? This is definitely a political decision made by a frightened dictator.
Which union do these 1,500 employees belong? Fred doesn’t allow unionism
@40.Tonga Bull. Because Fred Mmembe does not allow a Union, it’s okay to throw 1,500 families on the street? In this economy where the PF has failed to create jobs? Despite promising us 500,000 new jobs?
Hahaha I’m enjoying this …. Court order, Police, ZRA…Boma ni Boma @M’membe comits offences within the law. Watch his next move
Epilogue! This HH guy has reliable moles within the Panga Family system as he mentioned this
Another Chumbu Munshololwa in the name of Edgar. Listen please these vuvuzela online whom you are sharing kick backs with from contracts will not be with you at some point when the instrument of power will be with another person.
In the streets today vendors had a rude shock because many people were not buying the government controlled news. So they were running from vehicle to vehicle and people were just staring at them. Apart from the political staff on the first page which PF does not like, making them send ZRA in panic mood, the paper has quality international news and education materials.
People are mistaken to think that this is a tax issue. It is a political rather than a tax problem. Even if the Post was to pay all the outstanding taxes to ZRA the paper will stil remain closed becoz it is considered a mouth piece for the opposition parties. The idea is to close out the opposition and hope that the Ruling PF wins the elections. ZRA cannot close a business without a court order. Its in ZRA’s interest to get the company to commit to a tax payment plan. If the Post is liquidated there is not much that ZRA can gain becoz the Post Assets are far less than the tax liability.
If you live in a glass house don’t throw stones……
People that are supporting the Post are all wicked, Tax is Tax; no two ways about it! In other countries Mmembe would have been in Court and Jail consequently, stop thinking like toddlers. The Government needs resources including finances from collection of Tax which Post Newspaper has not been complying to because of wanting to be treated differently. Fairness has been done by ZRA.
Enough of this misguided communist trying to propagate Marxism in Zambia,in 2016!
First things first. Mmembe must pay his taxes then we can talk about press freedom. If Mmembe pays and then we see harrassment of the Post, I will be the first one to fight for the press freedom.
If the Post has been overcharged they should still pay while their lawyers engage ZRA. Zambeef disputed a tax claim by ZRA but they paid and then went to court. It reported a few weeks ago that Zambeef won the case and ZRA has since refunded them K13million. Now that is a good corporate citizen, unlike the crooks at Post/Mmembe and his olleagues who still owe zambians K14billion DBZ money.
Tell Mmembe not to waste his time playing hide and seek and playing victim when the actual victoms are us citizens whom he is depriving givernment services. How long does he think he can print in namibia? Has he thought of confiscation at the airport or other borders? Can he make money running an underground paper with little circulation? Would tgat be legal? Is he not risking arrest? Think people think!
The Newspaper was printed here in Lusaka at a known printers. there is no such a thing as printed in Namibia. Evading tax is an offence all over the world. There are no politics about this. We all pay tax, what is it about Mmembe kanshi? I think those supporting Mmembe’s actions are not being true to themselves. Give to Ceaser what belongs to Ceaser.
F%/k u guys who are talking about rule of law… Thers nufn like dat in this country…. Have u seen our govt departments like zambia traffic.. Lusaka city council etc…. Full of corruption.. U can only talk of law wen it actually exists… Leave membe and post alone. If he is power full dats his luck. U other *****s can continue paying urur taxes so govt guys can plunder…
Times of Zambia, Zambia Daily Mail and the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation together owe the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) more than K1.2 billion. A source at ZRA has disclosed that the three institutions owe ZRA more than twenty times what the Post Newspapers owe. ” It is very frustrating to work for the PF government. Cadres have become more powerful than state functionaries. Partly Fred should blame his friend Wynter Kabimba who employed cadres in all institution including RTSA and NAPSA. These are the people being used now” the source said. The source said some professionals at ZRA had argued that the rules of natural justice demand fairness but where disregarded by cadres. ” Listen. Some of us argued to say how do we pursue the Post if government media is owing more than the…
…. private media? Where is fairness? Please let the public know that not everyone at ZRA is for the move. All this is the fear of UPND. The Post is giving coverage to UPND and Edgar and his minions are not sleeping” the source said. The source further questioned the motive to close the Post towards elections. ” The question is why do they want the Post closed during election time? What are they trying to hide. There are reports that the Post sent one its senior editors to Dubai to investigate the printing company and the story was about to hit the streets. Could that bé the reason? The source asked.
It’s only in Zambia that a known tax evader can even be elected into public office. We’ll never develop without discipline.
The POST on line is OFFLINE. What we are seeing are the last kicks of a dying horse unless they pay up.
LT, ZWD and all on line publications are turned of if they don’t subscribe.
The Post – which ushered in the end on one-party rule in 1991 and ushered in the PF in 2011. Now closed by chakolwa Lungu
Government institutions have always been owing government money and government has been also owing money to these institutions from time immemorial but not private institutions and individuals and at one time there was talk of a debt swap with government.
1500 out of work just like that. There should have been negotiations on paying whatever is owed.
THE INTERGRITY OF THIS COUNTRY
Closure of the post newspaper is a recipe for a lot other countries to withdraw their AID to this country. this is the problem when you put someone who unreasonable in his mind. its not that people hate Ediger.NO but the ills going on in this country.
If Lungu made K23MILLION in the last 12 months, has he paid 17%=K3.9MILLION minimum in Taxes to ZRA?
Chiwamila Galu kulima mbuzi
Our country is slowly now becoming a laughing stock because of this kama Chagwa chap, we need to get rid of him on August, 11. How dare he treat the Post Newspaper which has played such an integral part in Zambia’s return to multi-party democracy?!!
Let them just pay the money,I for one I don’t support such a stupid behavior especially that I also pay the tax every month.Malova are the only ones who can support Mmembe’s behavior.Let Mmembe grow up,afunika kukula manje,akalamba ka!
Now I understand why chingola residents sued KCM in London. They really knew that in this Zombie country you can never get justice. If you get one then it’s against you. Who doesn’t know that the Times of Zambia and Zambia Daily Mail ows ZRA colossal sums of money in unpaid taxes. Who is persueing TOZ or Daily Mail to settle unpaid taxes? Even the mines are in arrears in terms of taxes. Yes I may not like Membe but I can’t agree with application of selective justice. Whether you are PF, UPND, MMD, UNIP, FDD, RAINBOW, ZADECO or Muliokela, you should be treated the same. Remember even the mature democracies of this world at on time in history practiced segregation bur later on they discovered that it can never work.
It’s just that eastern province people are daft. Easily cheated by others esp on tribal lines. This is crap
I don’t know why Zambians get confused so easily. The issue is not about closing the Post Newspaper-it is about the Post paying what it owes the The people of Zambia. They pay the money today-they get opened today and everyone goes away smiling. A tax organ in any nation closes a business primarily to recover owed money and not to shut the business down. Lets get our priorities right.
A lot of parasetals have not paid taxes, how come they are not being harassed by PF? The Post only owe K15million, but ZRA now wants k72million, does that make any sense?
ZAMBIANS UNDERSTAND INTIMIDATION
If ZRA is not interested in collecting taxes from ZNBC, Times , Daily Mail etc because are being used to promote PF campaigns then we do have a a problems legally and politically as a nation. How many of these so called ministers who own companies like the scrap metal in Luanshaya pay their tax dues? I doubt it very much if they do.
EXACTLY..! WHY ARE THEY HARASSING THE POST?
Everyone who wants to help the Post or even those commenting on its opening can help the Post by mobilising funds so that the Post can pay back what it owes. Noone should promote irregularities or criminality. The Post owes money to the Zambian people and not to president Lungu. People asking that Lungu should forgive the Post are asking Lungu to promote illegality. Where is the LAZ in this. Can LAZ comment on all these people who are shouting that Lungu should forget the law and request the ZRA to forgive the Post (Note I am not saying Mmembe). This issue is not about Mmembe and Lungu but about the Post newspaper Limited and ZRA or the Zambian people. So let the Post open a good wishers Account were people who love the post can deposit money. I think I am one of those who can deposit…
