Zambia Army Parade at African Freedom Day in Lusaka
President Edgar Lungu has commended the Zambia Army for their exemplary response to emergencies and calamities across the country.
President Lungu cited the construction of bridges washed away by rains across the country and the fight against cholera as examples where the Zambia Army intervention was exemplary.
The head of state was speaking when he commissioned 104 specialized officer cadets of intake 8 of 2019 at the Military Training Establishment of Zambia (MILTEZ) in Kabwe in Central Province this morning.
Mr Lungu however warned that government will dismiss defense personnel for indulging in partisan politics.

Opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema has promised that his party, the UPND will adopt a new elections strategy following the Kafue Mayoral election defeat.
In a short statement on his Facebook page, Mr Hichilema stated that the new elections strategy will respond to the current political environment.
“Thank you all for your support in Kafue. Going forward, we are devising a new elections strategy befitting the current political environment,” Mr Hichilema stated.
The UPND has lost a series of bye elections at both Ward, parliamentary and Mayoral levels prompting questions about the party’s preparedness ahead of the 2021 elections.
And a well known member of the UPND in Northwestern Province has welcomed Mr Hichilema’s call for a new elections strategy.
Naomi Tetamashimba said Mr Hichilema’s statement is an indication that all the concerns from the general membership have been heard.
“Congratulations PF at this point I don’t even want to talk about how you got it but the fact still remains that you were declared winners and congratulations. Now coming to my party UPND, this loss is painful because it is a loss that we allowed. The stealing excuse is old now and we cannot continue using that as an excuse.
We lost because we allowed it,” she said.
Ms. Tetamashimba said. ,”We are failing ourselves, we are failing my president and we are failing the people looking for hope. The truth will always sound like hate to those that can’t stand it but at this stage I don’t care what names you call me but I will speak my mind.”
“We are not doing enough to convince people we are a better choice. I for one I know far too well that HH is a good leader and if given a chance can transform this nation but what am I doing to ensure others see what I see?
We are failing. If the other camp’s strategy is stealing , atleast they have one but what is ours? I now see how those that are not strong easily give up. It’s not easy,” she said.
“In the midst of what the nation is facing , people somehow feel they are better off with PF. The njala issue you even need to stop it coz it’s annoying now. The question is what are we not doing right? After a loss we say let’s go back to the drawing board, do we even have one?
You cannot win an election by sidelining the youths and even naimwe Ba youth you cannot win if you only think your job is to provide security to the president. Your focus begins and ends at been security.”
Ms. Tetamashimba urged the party to create a drawing board.
“They say we don’t have strategist , at this point I want to be one, they say it’s the leadership well let’s sit down and see what that means and address it but above all, let’s listen to what people want and let’s focus on what leadership under upnd would look like as focusing on individuals only makes us look bitter,” she said.
Finance Minister Margaret Mwanakatwe has announced that the proposed date of commencement for the sales tax is 1st July 2019 and not 1st April 2019 as earlier announced.
Mrs. Mwanakatwe says it was envisaged that the process of preparing for the abolishment of the Value Added Tax to pave way for the implementation of the sales tax would be completed in the first quarter of 2019.
She says as part of the process and the delicate nature of the assignment, it has been imperative that all suggestions and concerns raised by stakeholders are taken into consideration and this has taken more time than originally planned.
Mrs. Mwanakatwe told Parliament in a Ministerial statement that significant progress has been made and the draft for the new sales tax has been concluded and will be presented in the house for first reading on 2nd April 2019.
She said it is intended that the 2nd reading and the finalisation of the Bill by the house will be done during the June 2019 session.
Mrs. Mwanakatwe said during the intervening period, the Bill will undergo further consultations though the parliamentary committee and interaction by the Ministry of Finance with various other economic players.
She emphasised that this being a new law, government does not want to leave any stone un turned and remains committed to implementing a simplified non refundable tax regime that will a provide a win win situation for both government and the businesses.
Speaker of the National Assembly Dr. Patrick Matibini directed Mrs. Mwanakatwe to issues a Ministerial statement to update the house and the nation as a whole on the status quo of the sales tax.
Dr. Matibini was rendering a ruling on a point of Order raised by Chembe Member of Parliament Sebastian Kopulande who wanted to know when the Bill that introduces Sales Tax will be presented to parliament.
The Center for Trade Policy and Development foresees government target towards achieving fiscal consolidation not to be realistic in 2019 due to a number of factors among which includes policy inconsistencies, rising public debt and potential reductions in revenue generation as even recently announced by the Zambia Revenue Authority.
CTPD Researcher Bright Chizonde says Fiscal consolidation can be attained by either reducing government expenditure, increasing government revenue collection or a combination of both.
Mr. Chizonde said the failure by government to adhere to its own debt management strategy through accelerating the contraction of debt, by about $1 billion in 2018 alone, remains the greatest challenge to achieving fiscal consolidation in 2019.
He said thus far, it has become evident that government liquidity has reduced as indicated by delayed payment of salaries, increased domestic arrears and rapid depletion of international reserves- currently at about $1.5 billion which is less than 2 month of import cover.
Mr. Chizonde said Government in 2018, announced a number of Austerity measures aimed at reducing the fiscal deficit but remained adamant regarding the need to reduce spending.
He said it is clear that Zambians are already bearing an increased debt and tax burden, through the introduction and implementation of new taxes and levies.
Mr. Chizonde said therefore, fiscal consolidation will not be achieved if it remains focused on the revenue side.
He said the only avenue for increased revenue collection currently is through improving compliance levels with respect to exiting taxes-ZRA estimates tax compliance to be below 60%.
Mr. Chizonde said the government should therefore focus on assessing the current spending priorities if it wishes to achieve fiscal consolidation in 2019.
He said the importance of infrastructural investment but this should not be done at the expense of macroeconomic stability.
Mr. Chizonde said borrowing to the tune of about $16 billon is not sustainable for Zambia as shown by the increased debt payments which have crowded out social sector spending, depleted reserves and made the Kwacha more volatile.
“In line with our 2019 Budget analysis themed: “The Writing on the Wall: the Illusion of fiscal consolidation in the presence of huge Public Debt”, we continue to urge the Zambian government to walk the talk on Austerity measures aimed at limiting government expenditure to priority areas. Overpriced infrastructural expenditure, financing of huge entourage trips, Zambia Airways relaunch, purchasing of luxury planes and others should all be replaced with prudent investment in human resource like restoring meal allowances to students, ensuring medical supplies are available in health facilities, scaling up the social cash transfer programme with no misallocations, making sure famers have inputs on time, and most importantly; paying public workers on time”, he said.
Mr. Chizonde said the CTPD is of the considered view that if government fails to realign its spending priorities, fiscal consolidation will remain more of an illusion.
President Edgar Lungu with IFAD President Mr Gilbert Houngbo and Ms Janet Rogan UN Resident Coordinator at State house
United Nations Resident Coordinator Janet Rogan is leaving her post in Zambia.
This was announced on Thursday during a farewell party for Ms Rogan organized by UNDP staff.
Her departure marks an end to an eventful five years in Zambia as Head of the UN system.
Last year, United Nations, Secretary General António Guterres was forced to dismissed complaints and allegations raised against Janet Rogan in Zambia by the opposition UPND.

The UN also dismissed allegations that Rogan withheld an election outcome report and the audit of the voters role.
“In response to questions about allegations against the UN Resident Coordinator in Zambia, Janet Rogan, the Spokesman emphasized that the UN Country Team and the Resident Coordinator will continue to be dedicated and impartial partners of the Zambian people”.
“One allegation has been that the Resident Coordinator had held back on the issuance of the so-called Conflict Structure Vulnerabilities report.”
“That document is a report of the Election Commission of Zambia, so the Resident Coordinator is not in a position to withhold it.There were also allegations that UNDP contract consultants audited the voters’ roll.”
“These allegations were raised, and refuted, previously. In fact, the consultants in question were hired by the Electoral Commission of Zambia, and not by UNDP.”
Ms Janet Rogan assumed her current role as UN Resident Coordinator on 29th April 2014 when she presented her credentials to the Zambian government.
Before her appointment, Ms. Rogan served in Her Majesty’s Diplomatic Service for over 20 years.
In her previous assignment, she was Senior Strategy Adviser to the Director for Defence and International Security at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), UK.

She was the UK’s Political Adviser to the NATO Supreme Allied Commander for Europe from 2001-2003 and from 1998-2001.
Ms. Rogan began her career in 1986 with FCO in the UK as Desk Officer for Zambia and Malawi.
Lusaka Deputy Mayor Chilando Chitangala says the drastic drop in the number of people dying from cholera to zero this year from the high of 100 last year is directly linked to President Edgar Lungu’s vicious drive to clean up the city of Lusaka recently.
The Presidential led ‘clean up’ exercise of 2018 saw the streets of the capital being swept clean of uncertified perishable foods and other garbage being peddled on the streets even amidst a political uproar in order to save lives.
“We must support the President by playing our individual roles and sustain the fight against Cholera by escalating and maintaining cleanliness and hygiene”, Ms. Chitangala said.
The Deputy Mayor of Lusaka made the remarks in Berlin when a group of Civic and private sector top officials paid a courtesy call on Zambia’s Ambassador to Germany Anthony Mukwita at the embassy’s Axel Springer premises.

Ms. Chitangala said the Zambian military and other government organizations followed the Presidential cue and escalated the keep Lusaka clean campaign like no other time.
Zambia this year has recorded a historic only “seven (7) cases of cholera and no single deaths…a significant improvement from the previous season when the country recorded over 4000 cases of cholera and about a hundred deaths. We are on the right track.”
In his capacity as Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, President Lungu released both the army and the Zambia National Service into the streets and cleared them of street vendors and cleared rubbish heaps that had piled up uncollected.
Conversely, the Ministry of Health conducted a robust anti-cholera vaccination drive against the waterborne disease for up to three years.
Other measures that should see the efforts against cholera sustained include the on-going water and sanitation programs in which various local government authorities and Water utility companies are expanding their water treatment and distribution infrastructure.
For instance, under the Millennium Corporation Challenge, a water and sanitation project worth over 350 million dollars has seen a 5-million-liter water tank in Chelston, which should service 24/7 surrounding areas such as Avondale and many others with the lifesaving liquid.
This week, a nine-member delegation sponsored by GIZ, a German international development agency arrived in Germany to discuss the possibility of extending funding support for water and sanitation programs in Zambia that the Germany has been supporting.
The delegation included Mr. Kelly Kashiwa, District Commissioner for Kasama, Mr. Amon Chisenga, Mayor for Ndola, Ms. Chilando Chitangala, Deputy Mayor for Lusaka and Mr. Wisdom Bwalya, Town Clerk for Ndola City Council.
Others are Mr. Peter Chilambwe, Assistant Secretary, Lusaka Provincial Administration, Mr. Laurian Haangala, Director for Zambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Jonathan Kampata, Managing Director, Lusaka Water and Sewerage Company and Mr. Ezekiel Sekele, Corporate Affairs Director, Zambian Breweries.
Ambassador Mukwita shared selected development programs that underpin the Zambia-German relations that include investment in the energy sector and in the health sector where Austria is interested in upgrading the cancer hospital and consequently reduce deaths related to the disease.
Ambassador Mukwita that the City Fathers did well to expand on President Edgar Lungu’s keep Lusaka Clean campaign, “because it is criminal in our view that people should die from preventable gastro intestinal diseases today such as cholera simply keeping surroundings clean.
He told the delegation that Zambia continues to enjoy great relations with host country Germany.
