FINANCE MINISTER FELIX MUTATI has directed the PENSIONS AND INSURANCE AUTHORITY to appoint an independent auditor to assess the financial and operational governance of SATURNA REGNA; a Pension Fund which operates in Zambia.

In a letter addressed to Pensions and Insurance Authority Registrar MARTIN LIBINGA, Mr. MUTATI said that the audit should be undertaken and completed within thirty days.

“I am directing you to appoint an independent auditor to assess the matter that has arisen in the SATURNA REGNA PENSION FUND,” stated the Minister, adding that, “the audit should be undertaken and completed within thirty days.”

And ILLOVO SUGAR Proprietary Managing Director GAVIN DALGLEISH has said his firm “believes in Zambia and will continue to expand the business here with the sole purpose of producing the best quality products in Africa.”

Speaking yesterday morning during an investment brainstorming meeting with Finance Minister FELIX MUTATI, Mr. DALGLEISH, who was backed by Zambia Sugar Managing Director REGINA KATOWA, said “the economic management consultative approach which the Zambian Government has adopted is a sign of government’s commitment to the prosperity of industry.”

At the same function, Mr. MUTATI said, “the private sector in Zambia must show tenacity by seizing the opportunities which the government is creating for all levels of industry in order to grow the economy.”

“This can be done by not only establishing market penetration strategies in order for you to grow and consolidate your competitiveness but also taking steps to share your positive experiences such as the stabilisation of the macro-economic environment which we have been working on under the economic stabilisation and growth programme,” stated the MINISTER to Mr. DALGLEISH and his team from ILLOVO SUGAR GROUP.

“We are in the process of creating a framework that monitors potential risks to investment,” stated Mr. MUTATI, adding that, “the system will have the capability to activate De-risking measures in order to guard economic stability, promote growth, and strengthen our international competitiveness.”

“I also take this opportunity to commend VAT collection agents such as Zambia Sugar for helping the government to make progress in improving the first quarter performance domestic resource mobilization. We look forward to greater performance in the second quarter,” said Mr. MUTATI.

    • Assessment of the the financial and operational governance of SATURNA REGNA is being instituted all because it is HH’s company..

      Believe me Mutati, HH is a very experienced auditor,…..HH is the Guru of auditors, all records for SATURNA REGNA and all his companies are clean.

    • Please note that HH does not own Saturnia Regna. HH has shares in a company that manages Saturnia Regna.

    • Vendatta did exactly the same thing SATURNA is being investigated for investing Money off-shore without full approval of all shareholders / stakeholders. ZCCM-IH sued Vendatta for investing Monies offshore of which its a shareholder without declaring ……. but guess what ? The Presido requested that the case be withdrawn and the issue resolved “Amicably”….. beyond this let me not say much before I am called in for Tilizone. But the above are facts before the media so they cannot be disputed.

    • Zambians want the entire Lungu government audited especially during August 2016. Lets not be selective. The real corruption is PF. Let them account for that $10 billion USD. Why waste time on small fish.

    • The treason is not going well for PF on international scene, now they go after HH companies.
      Evil and cruel…

  1. Another post what’s happening HH you are in trouble. MOPANI. KANSANSHI AND KCM Issue’s are quit kansanshi was for given just because the head has contract with them

  2. So zambia sugar is a vat collection agent. Thought it would responsible compsny to pay its own vat. So ZRA has collection agents,,, do they get commission for being an agent. No wonder Dalgliesh talks up mutati,,, he must be getting a percentage as an agent.
    Is it an oxymoron for Hon Mutati go be in a BRAINSTORMING session..
    Sugar is a cartel business in sub-saharan africa. Try and import sugar from outside the cartel……no can do.
    Our government supports the cartel?????????

  3. First the press, then the electronic media, then religion now insurance.compnay. who will be next… ordinary pipo are already scared to tslk freely with friends tiff tiffs reborn

  4. Give respect to honourable Mutati is hardworking knowledgeable & a straight forward person he in spires me a lot if I had power in me to elect him president 2021 I was going to do so but through Jesus Christ he is going to lead this country in 2021.
