Kabwata Car Wash wins US$ 1 million tender to supply 46 4×4 vehicles to Judiciary

A little known Car Wash business based in Kabwata, Lusaka has landed a US$ 1 million contract to deliver 46 brand new 4×4 vehicles to the Judiciary.

Burma Car Wash which also trades as Sarago General Dealers snatched the lucrative deal after beating well established motor vehicle firms such as Toyota Zambia, Southern Cross Motors and Hazida Motors including Tata Zambia.

Investigations have revealed that Sarago General Dealers is owned by Businessman Chiza Gondwe, a close associate of Kabwata Member of Parliament and Justice Minister Given Lubinda.

The Judiciary falls under the Ministry of Justice.

According to tender documents seen by Lusaka Times, Judiciary Chief Procurement and Supplies Officer Patrick Mwale wrote in a notice that Sarago General Dealers was the best evaluated bidder for the supply of 46 4×4 Double Cab motor vehicles after it offered 1,012,000.00 as the total bid sum.

According to the tender requirements, Sarago General Dealers is to deliver the said vehicles within two to four weeks from November 10th, the date on which the tender was awarded.

But investigations have revealed that the awarding of a huge contract to a Car Wash business has shocked people in the car industry in Lusaka.

One insider revealed that all the major players in the industry are shocked that a company with no track record in delivering huge vehicle supply contracts could be entrusted with a million-dollar public contract.

The source added Sarago General Dealers intends to supply Mitsubishi Double Cabs although Mitsubishi suppliers in Zambia have expressed ignorance over the order.

Further investigations revealed that Sarago mainly deals in second hand vehicles and also run a Car Hire business including a Fitment Centre all based in Kabwata.

A brand new Double Cab sells at the market price of around US$ 32,000 meaning government would need to spend over 1.4 million dollars to procure the 46 vehicles, which was well over the contract sum.

Zambian Parliament unanimously adopts report on Single Africa Air Transport

Zambian Parliament yesterday unanimously agreed and adopted a Committee Report on Single African Air Transport Market.

The report focuses on the Proposal to ratify the Yamoussoukro Decision Concerning the Single African Air Transport Market.

Chairperson of the Committee on Transport, Works and Supply Douglas Syakalima explained that the report that was laid on the table of the House on November 5, 2020 will trigger economic growth.

Mr Syakalima who is also Chirundu MP pointed out that once implemented the Single Africa Air Transport Market will bring about new routes to the country.

“Madam Speaker, this report from the committee that I am privileged to chair has a lot of benefits to the country. Among them it will increase the number of people coming to the country which is good for our tourism and we will have more new air routes in the country and this will extend air traffic rights,” he stated.

And Acting Minister of Transport and Communications Vincent Mwale cited a number of benefits that will come with the adoption of the Single African Air Transport Market.

Mr Mwale explained that the adoption will enhance air connectivity in the country.

“This is an opportunity for the country to have an increased inflow of tourists in the country which is key to our economy. This will also create new business opportunities and trade in Africa and beyond. Not only that, under the Single Africa Air Transport Market will transform our country into a transport hub and create new benefits,” Mr Mwale explained.

The Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) is a flagship project of the African Union Agenda 2063, an initiative of the African Union to create a single unified air transport market in Africa to advance the liberalization of civil aviation in Africa and act as an impetus to the continent’s economic integration agenda.

Kasempa to register over 70 thousand voters

Electoral Commission of Zambian (ECZ) is targeting to register over 70,000 eligible voters in Kasempa district of the North-western province during the ongoing voter registration exercise.

Speaking in an interview with ZANIS yesterday, Kasempa District Electoral Officer, Tryson Chunga said everything was in place to meet the 70,000 target.

“For the population of Kasempa which is above 88,000, we are targeting for more than 70,000 to be captured in the new voter register,” Mr Chunga said.

He pleaded with the residents of Kasempa to exercise patience during the voter registration process as a lot of data has to be captured.

“Let us be patient and follow the deployment plan that we have done,” Mr Chunga said.

He further assured the public that the Commission has enough competent staff who are capable of handling any technical fault when need arises.

“We have a technical officer that has worked for a number of years with the kits,” Mr Chunga added.

Mr Chunga has since encouraged all those who will attain 18 years by 9 May, 2021 to go and register.

He said that the credibility of elections worldwide is dependent on the registration of voters.

Voter registration Slow in Kitwe

Kitwe District Commissioner Chileshe Bweupe has bemoaned the slow process in the on-going voter registration exercise.

Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Kitwe yesterday, Mr. Bweupe said the slow pace at which the exercise is going will make it impossible for the district to achieve the targeted number of voters to be captured.

“The Electoral Commission of Zambia has to seriously look into this issue, at the rate we are going on, we will not meet the target goal and people may be disfranchised,” Mr. Bweupe said.

Mr. Bweupe noted that the personnel to conduct the registration is not enough making the process slow and subjecting people to stand in long queues for hours to get the voters cards.

He hoped that the Electoral Commission will address the challenges faced in the registration centers to speed up the process and unable all eligible voters to be captured.

Chipolopolo Start AFCON Salvage Job As Mwepu Arrives

Chipolopolo on Thursday arrive at the crossroads of their 2022 AFCON qualifying quest when they host Botswana in a must-win Group H qualifier at National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka.

Zambia, who have missed the last two AFCON’s, are currently in the midst of a bruising battle to ensure they will not miss an unprecedented third outing.

With two games played and four to go, Chipolopolo are last on zero points heading into their Group H doubleheader against Botswana who are third with 1 point.

This is after losing 5-0 away to Group H leaders Algeria, who have maximum 6 points, and going down 2-1 at home to second placed Zimbabwe, who have 4 points, exactly a year ago last November.

And so, Chipolopolo must pick up maximum 6 points over the next two games starting this Thursday and on November 16 away in Francistown.

The fixtures are critical for Zambia to gather some momentum for next March’s defining dates against their Group H tormentors Algeria at home and in the final game away to Zimbabwe that will both come in a five-day spell.

But management has changed since those forgettable November 2019 fixtures with interim coach Aggrey Chiyangi replaced by Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic who was appointed last February.

The Botswana match will be Micho’s competitive debut after six friendlies in charge in which he has won five and lost one.

However, Micho will be without key striker Patson Daka due to injury but the good news is his club mate at Austrian champions RB Salzburg has made it at the eleventh hour after four days of uncertainty over their Covid-19 lockdown tests at the club.

“I am here and motivated for tomorrow’s game. For me I am always a positive guy and I had hope that maybe the club might change their minds so I kept praying about it and in the end it happened . I was motivated, I never unpacked my bags, I was already like I would start off anytime,” Mwepu said on Wednesday in Lusaka.

“So I am here, and ready for the game tomorrow. It means everything you know I am proud to represent Zambia at this level and I am really motivated looking at what we have achieved so far at club level going into tomorrow’s game we know.

“We have lost points in the previous two games and tomorrow is a must-win. I just pray that we give our best. Everybody should be ready for it and we just play according to what coach Micho wants.

“I think we are going to win tomorrow.”

PF Cadres, Zambia Police and Zambia National Service in a Physical Fight over Smuggling of Mealie Meal

Mufulira District Commissioner, Mike Manda has condemned the fracas that erupted on Saturday when Zambia National Service (ZNS) officers and Zambia Police Officers engaged in a fight following allegations that some ZNS Officers were engaged in mealie meal smuggling.

Mr. Manda explained that the fight occurred when Patriotic Front (PF) cadres mounted a roadblock along Mokambo road in a bid to stop a mealie meal smuggling operation which they believed was about to be carried out by some ZNS officers.

He said the roadblock was then disturbed by ZNS officers from Mokambo border, leading to a fight between the cadres and the men in uniform.

Mr Manda narrated that police officers who passed by the scene rescued the PF cadres from the hands ZNS which led to another fight between police and ZNS officers.

Mr.Manda has since condemned the fighting as the two departments are supposed to provide security for the district.

Mr.Manda said men and women in uniform are supposed to show exemplary behavior and uphold integrity.

He also expressed concern at continued allegations that ZNS officers stationed at Mokambo border were engaged in mealie meal smuggling.

Mr. Manda warned of stern action against any officer found engaging in mealie meal smuggling.

“Let me warn the officers; whether Zambia Police, ZNS, or any civil servant found engaging in smuggling or aiding smugglers will be dealt with severely,” he said.

“Whether it’s firing them and arresting them, we are going to do that,” Mr. Manda said.

The District Commissioner said he has since instructed that both ZNS and Zambia Police Officers should man the border to curb mealie meal smuggling.

Hitches in the voter registration exercise are being worked-Given Lubinda

GOVERNMENT has assured the nation that the hitches that have been experienced in the voter registration exercise are being worked.

And Government has described as impressive the response from Zambians wanting to register as voters ahead of the 2021 General elections.

Speaking shortly after touring some voter registration centers this morning in Kabwata constituency, Justice Minister Given Lubinda who is also Kabwata area Member of Parliament says people should not be discouraged as Government would do anything possible to ensure that the hitches are worked on.

“We will ensure that this small hitch is worked on and becomes more efficient so people should not be discouraged as we are doing everything possible to have the process normalized,” Hon. Lubinda said.

And the Kabwata law marker said he decided not to register for now but wanted to give Zambians the confidence that the system is being worked on.

“As politicians we are making sure that the system is improved by engaging the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) because I have noticed that they are taking about 6 minutes to register one person so we are appealing to people not to be discouraged because of this small hitch,” Hon. Lubinda added.

The voter registration exercise which commenced on Monday experienced some hitches with the process leading to the general citizenry and stakeholders expressing concern as to whether the ECZ would capture the targeted number of voters ahead of the August 12, 2021 General elections.

Hon. Lubinda added that the response from the public who wanted to obtain voter’s cards was impressive and he encouraged other Zambians to turn out in numbers and register as voters.

Deputy Speaker orders Vice President to give a statement on the Slow Voter Registration

First Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Catherine Namugala has ordered Republican Vice President Inonge Wina to update the nation on the on-going voter registration exercise.

Ms Namugala had ordered that the statement on the voter registration be given in the National Assembly by Tuesday November 17 2020 because of the vitality of the matter.

ZANIS Reports that Ms Namugala made the remarks in parliament today when responding to a point of order made by Monze Central Member of Parliament Jack Mwiimbu.

Mr Mwiimbu wanted to know whether the government was aware and what was being done about the challenges of manpower being faced by the Electoral Commission of Zambia to register voters in his constituency and other parts of the country.

“Madam Speaker, I raise on very important point of order this afternoon, as you may be aware, the voter registration by ECZ is ongoing but has been faced with a lot of challenges such as shortage of staff among others which is making people take a long time to access their cards, What is government doing to deal with such challenges I need a serous ruling on this matter,” he charged.

And in her response, Ms Namugala explained that due to the gravity of the matter and its value to the nation, immediately ordered the Vice President as leader of government business in the house to give a statement on voter registration in the country.

The Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) commenced the voter registration on November 9 and will go on until December 12, 2020 with the target of capturing at least 9 million voters.

However, several stakeholders from the cross section of the society have bemoaned the slow pace of the exercise and called for expediting of the works.

One such stakeholder is Patriotic Front (PF) party that has expressed concern at reports from different parts of the country pointing to the slow pace in the on-going voter registration exercise.

PF Secretary General Davies Mwila implored the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ), to urgently and effectively address all issues raised by different stakeholders, if the Commission is to meet its targeted number of registered voters.

PF Expresses Concern at the Slow Pace of Voter Registration

Patriotic Front Secretary General Hon. Davies Mwila has expressed concern at reports from different parts of the country pointing to the slow pace in the on-going voter registration exercise. Hon. Davies Mwila has since implored the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ), to urgently and effectively address all issues raised by different stakeholders, if the Commission is to meet its targeted number of registered voters.

“We are receiving reports from different parts of the Country that its taking in excess of 10 minutes for an individual to be issued with the voter’s card. Added to this is the reported lack of sufficient manpower to attend to citizens expeditiously.

We are therefore calling on ECZ to up its game by ensuring that they increase the number of personnel attending to members of the public as well as ensure that there is adequate equipment in areas less catered for”, Hon. Davies Mwila has said.
Hon. Davies Mwila has further maintained that:

“The Patriotic Front believes that the integrity of any election begins with a smooth and efficient voter registration process. Hence, it is our hope that ECZ will move with speed to address these serious concerns in different parts of the Country. ECZ may wish to re-consider stationing their personal at designated voter registration centres for the stipulated thirty (30) days, as opposed to the ‘rotational formula’ which the Commission is currently implementing. In short, PF is calling for increased manpower and equipment per centre, so as to ensure that as many eligible citizens as possible get registered as voters”.

The Secretary General has also called on all members of the Patriotic Front Party across the country to take the voter registration exercise seriously by encouraging all eligible citizens to obtain their voters cards.

Hon. Mwila concluded by appealing to members of the public to turn out in large numbers to register as voters, while maintaining social distancing and wearing face masks at all times.

Expectations From The Forth Coming Bondholder Decision On Zambia’s Request For Debt Service Relief

Expectations From The Forth Coming Bondholder Decision On Zambia’s Request For Debt Service Relief

By Wakumelo Mataa CTPD Researcher

Zambia’s economy has continued to experience serious macro-economic challenges, aggravated by the COVID-19 crisis on one hand and the debt situation on the other. According to the Ministry of Finance (MoF), the country’s external debt increased to US$11.97 billion at end June 2020 from US$11.48 billion at end 2019.

The fiscal situation has continued to deteriorate as external debt repayments continue to increase, premised on the sustained depreciation of the Zambian Kwacha against the United States dollar. To address the debt situation, MoF begun the process of engaging all creditors to seek their approval for suspension of debt service payments for a period of six months in accordance with the terms of the G20 and Paris Club Debt Service Suspension Initiative (DSSI). Feedback from the bondholders is expected during MoF’s meetings with the note holders scheduled for Friday, 13 th November, 2020.

It is our considered view as the Centre for Trade Policy and Development (CTPD) that the decision of the bondholders will, to a large extent, be influenced by the creditor’s level of confidence in Zambia’s debt transparency and the way Government proposes to deal with the debt situation. It is expected that, being major creditors, China’s recent willingness to grant a debt relief will be crucial to the decision of the bondholders as they will most likely take into consideration, the lack of publicly available information on the terms and conditions of Chinese loans.

We find it progressive that Government through the Ministry of Finance has reportedly reached an agreement with the China Development Bank (CDB) to defer debt service in respect of a commercial loan facility. We however remain greatly concerned that the MoF makes no mention of the amount of the loan(s) in question as this would have helped quantify the amount of relief given. Moreover, there are still serious concerns about the actual scale of the debt that Zambia owes China.

Furthermore, it is our expectation that the bondholders will be looking forward to a clear and realistic economic recovery plan. In this regard, Government will be expected to be emphatic on what it intends to do within the relief period that will point the economy towards recovery and restore debt sustainability. It is imperative that Government commits to prudent utilization of the resources that may be freed up from this initiative should this request pull through, directing a larger part of the
resources into productive sectors. It will be sad for Zambia if the creditors reject the request for relief as this will mean that Zambia has defaulted on its debt obligations that were due on the 13 th of October, 2020.

We find it contradictory that, while we have based our request for debt service relief on the devastating economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the latest auditor general’s report reveals serious irregularities in the usage of funds intended to mitigate its impacts on the economy. It therefore cannot be over-emphasized that Government needs to be more serious if its intentions are to be trusted as it engages with our creditors. There is need to ensure logical consistence in Government’s understanding and appreciation of the prevailing macro-economic problems and consequently, in coming up with solutions to resolve them.

It is imperative to note that Zambia’s Bondholders may also be concerned about the political economy going into the 2021 general elections as this has seemingly made Government reluctant to slow-down on the ambitious infrastructure and policy reform agenda. Should the bondholders reject Zambia’s DSSI request, there will be a negative impact on social spending implying that less funds will be available to spend on initiatives that help reduce poverty or support job creation in the country due to higher interest payments on increased debt.

UNHCR Praises Zambian Government, but calls for more efforts towards ending statelessness

UNHCR Praises Zambian Government, but calls for more efforts towards ending statelessness

As the world commemorates the 6th anniversary of the #IBelong Campaign, which falls on Wednesday 11 November 2020, the UN Refugee Agency in Zambia, applauds the efforts the Government of the Republic of Zambia has put in place to ERADICATE STATELESSNESS through various forms of civil registration.

Thousands of children are born in Zambia every year and the efforts by the Government to register and issue them with birth certificates and other civil forms of registration is commendable.

“Without a birth certificate or any form of registration, and later a national registration card, an individual is at risk of being stateless, which means no country will recognize him/her as a citizen. Often, such children are excluded from accessing their fundamental rights and opportunities,” said Ms Pierrine Aylara, the UNHCR Representative in Zambia.

A birth certificate is key to a nationality, rights, identity, to the opportunities and obligations that will be part of what it means to be Zambian for the rest of a person’s life.

UNHCR is cognisant of the study instituted by the Government in 2019 to ascertain the extent of Statelessness in Zambia. The study is commendable as it has resulted in the establishment of a taskforce that has drafted an action plan aimed at ending Statelessness by 2024.

UNHCR calls upon the Government of the Republic of Zambia to continue supporting the adoption of the Regional Action Plan to eradicate Statelessness in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC).

Cognisant of the Government of the Republic of Zambia’s strong support of UNHCR’s #IBelong Campaign to End Statelessness, the UN Refugee Agency calls upon Zambia to continue removing potential barriers, simplifying birth registration processes. Let us make sure that costs or distance from civil registration centres are not the factors that condemn a child to be marginalized, and ultimately stateless. To this end UNHCR encourages the Government of the Republic of Zambia to embark on legal reforms by, firstly, acceding to the 1961 UN Convention and domesticating the provisions of both the 1961 UN Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness and 1954 UN Convention.

Let us also make sure that all parents understand their child’s rights and are supported to complete the steps needed to register them immediately at birth, regardless of their status.

The Government of Republic of Zambia, like any other Government, should finally ensure that safeguards against Statelessness are in place to protect orphans and children found abandoned parents across the country. Above all, the Government is urged to fulfil the promise to all children throughout this country which is laid out in the Constitution.

Zambia’s prospects lie with its children, and how well they are prepared for tomorrow. By making sure that every child’s birth is registered, they can further be given the best start in life: to seek health care, to be educated, to work legally, to pursue justice under the law, to marry, to provide for a family, and one day to register the birth of their own child.

Through birth registration, we can end one of the main causes of Statelessness forever.

Zambia is a party to the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and is committed to becoming party to the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness.

Women effectively contributing to peacekeeping operations-Amb Simbyakula

Women have the ability to improve the effectiveness of the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping operations around the globe, Zambia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, His Excellency, Dr Ngosa Simbyakula has said.

Ambassador Simbyakula has said Zambia will remain resolute to the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping operations by continuing to contribute peacekeeping troops to peacekeeping missions around the globe.

Speaking at the 10th United Nations Woman Police Officer of the Year award ceremony in New York, Dr Simbyakula said Zambia was among the top 20 Member States who are contributors of uniformed personnel to the United Nations peacekeeping operations.
A Zambia Police officer, Chief Inspector Doreen Mazuba Malambo who is a Gender Advisor at the United Nations Mission in South Sudan has been awarded the 2020 United Nations Woman Police Officer of the Year.

The award was presented during the 15th United Nations Police Week at which the heads of the UN Police and policing experts from peacekeeping operations, special political missions and regional UN senior leadership gather to discuss among other topics, performance and accountability, discipline, conflict prevention and peace sustainment.

As part of this project, Chief Inspector Malambo created a network of groups led by male local police officers to engage other men in the community to disseminate information and promote the protection and advancement of the rights of women and girls.

Chief Inspector Malambo also contributed to UNMISS’ efforts to disseminate information on COVID-19 prevention to vulnerable communities, including those with disabilities.

Dr Sibyakula stated that the Government of the Republic of Zambia valued the contribution by women in peacekeeping operations and would therefore continue to champion the involvement of the female gender in peacekeeping.

“I take this opportunity to reaffirm Zambia’s commitment to matters pertaining to international peace and security. We remain resolute in this regard and will continue to play our part in UN Peacekeeping Operations. I therefore wish to congratulate Chief Inspector Doreen Mazuba Malambo, Gender Advisor to the United Nations Mission in South Sudan for being awarded the 2020 United Nations Woman Police Officer of the Year Award in recognition of contribution to the UN work, especially in support of those who are vulnerable or living in vulnerable situations such as women, girls, children and persons with disabilities,” Dr Simbyakula said.

The Zambian envoy stated that Chief Inspector Malambo had done Zambia proud by becoming a role model and an inspiration not only to fellow peacekeepers but to women and girls in communities where she is serving.

Dr Simbyakula commended the efforts of the women peacekeepers for undertaking their mandate even as the world was facing the COVID-19 pandemic.

The United Nations Woman of the Year Award was established in 2011 to recognize the exceptional contributions of women police officers to UN peace operations and promote the empowerment of women.

ZCCB Worried With Some Trends that May Force Zambia Sacrifice Its Treasured Peace

President of the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) Rt. Rev. George Lungu says some trends in Zambia today are worrisome and if left unchecked may force the country to sacrifice its treasured peace.

Bishop Lungu emphasized that such worrisome trends if left unchecked may force the country to sacrifice the treasured peace at the altar of expedience with obvious results of continued discord and lack of progress in the pursuit of common good.
“It is morally unacceptable to allow certain trends to go on while we remain watching and waiting from our comfort zones. This workshop is no doubt a manifestation of that desire to do something about our situation. A time to take note of the silent cries of our people,” said Bishop Lungu.

The ZCCB President further said that the Church may take pride as a voice of the voiceless, the conscience of the nation, yet if the voice of the Church at certain critical times goes silent for whatever reason, that is failure on its mission.
He noted that the Church must [remain] true to its identity as ambassadors of Christ and effective promoters and mediators of peace.

Rt. Rev. Lungu has since hoped that with the prompting and guidance of the Holy Spirit, the workshop will bring about genuine peace and reconciliation in Zambia.

Bishop Lungu said this when he opened a ZCCB Peacebuilding workshop in Lusaka on Wednesday 11th November, 2020 under the theme: Towards a Peaceful Zambia-The role of the Church.

The two-day workshop held at Kapingila house, in Lusaka Zambia which aims at raising awareness as key pastoral agents to be true and effective promoters and mediators of peace in Zambia has attracted 44 participants from all Catholic Dioceses of Zambia.

The participants include Bishops, Pastoral Coordinators, Communication Secretaries, Caritas and Social Program Directors and members of the Catholic Secretariat Management team.

And speaking in his presentation, Bishop Evans Chinyemba of Mongu urged Christians to conduct interdenominational prayer meeting on peace.
