The traditional leader urged his subjects to look after the infrastructure so that the children from the community can benefit from it.
A Chinese national was among the drivers impounded by Ministry of Works and Supply officers for driving a government vehicles without any documentation that allows government workers to drive government vehicles on the weekend.
The Chinese national who was driving from the East was impounded at Waterfalls Check Point where ministry officials had mounted their Road Block on the Great East Road.
The foreigner who was driving from the East could not explain himself as to why he was driving a government vehicle without documentation prompting the Ministry Officials to impound the vehicle and instruct the Chinese national to come to the Ministry of Works and Supply on Monday
Minister of Works and Supply Felix Mutati says government has intensified the control of usage of government vehicles on weekends by launching the first phase of a nation wide campaign which saw a lock down of Lusaka Province.
All the 4 main entry points into the province had Road Blocks mounted by Ministry of Works and Supply Officials.
Speaking in Kabwe were he was part of the team of officers who mounted a Road Block at Mulungushi University Mitati said his Ministry had intensified the control of government vehicles abuse as way of controlling use of tax payers money and usage of public resources.
He said government vehicles were part of the assets that belonged to the people of Zambia and that it was his duty to control the usage of people’s assets and prevent abuse being perpetuated by those who are allergic to following the rules adding that there is need to bring back discipline and order in the usage of people’s resources.
And Senior Inspector of Government Transport John Chisanga says the Ministry has recorded some compliance in the usage of government vehicles on weekends and after working hours since the commencement of the exercise to cramp down on the abuse of government vehicles on weekends and after working hours.
Chisanga explained that though they are some radicals who are still giving them problems in their execution of duty the exercise has recorded some level of compliance as people have started to follow procedure as can be seen from the reduction in the number of culprits.
“The Government Control Unity has carried out a countrywide operation and for Lusaka I have got details which we have just gathered because we mounted road blocks on four points. Eastern, Western, Southern and Northern entry points and the data from all these points which we have gathered from 07 up to 12:45 from Eastern entry point there about 19 vehicles recorded two impounded and and 4 were charged they are supposed to pay the charges at Works and Supply. From the Southern entry 30 were recorded 10 where charged 4 was impounded so these have to come to some fines at Works and Supply. From Western entry point 16 vehicles were recorded and 5 were impounded. From Northern entry point 25 were recorded 10 were charged and 4 impounded…
“From the statistics we have here its like there is a down ward trend. There is some compliance somewhere though there are some radicals here and there who are trying to still give us problems in our execution of this duty but we are still cramping down on them like on the Eastern part there was a certain individual who claimed that he had bought the vichile but he was still using GRZ number plate so we had to remove those number plates since he said the process of changing ownership was still on going so asked him to come to Ministry with the vehicles new number so that we can assist to complete the process of changing ownership,” he said.
The exercise which started three weeks ago to control the usage of government vehicles during weekends and after working hours continued on Saturday with Ministry officers mounting 4 Road Blocks in Lusaka.

Kitwe City Council wishes to put it on record that the land in Town Centre were the Chisokone Market is located has not been sold to any person or company. The allegation that a Chinese company has bought the market land is not true and I would not support such an idea because it is against the principle of empowering Zambians.
The council has not had any committee meeting or passed any council resolution to sell the land to any person( local or foreign). The rumour should not be taken seriously. The local authority represents central government at a local level and we have no instructions to sell the land to any local or foreign investor.
The council holds the collective opinion that first priority for any upgrading of the market should be to benefit those who are currently trading at chisokone. Meaning if a Mordern market is going to be built, it should be to help those who have been there for Many years to have better trading facilities. What is true however, is the fact that the Chamber of Mines ( that is all mining companies in zambia) have offered free money to build three Mordern markets at Chisokone in Kitwe, Kapalala in Ndola and City market in Lusaka under their collective social corporate responsibility.
Just to remind the marketeers that Kitwe City Council has over the last one year, under my leadership spent over K 2.5 million in building new market shelters to improve the market and benefit the current traders aswell as accommodate former street vendors.
At a local level I represent a very responsible government led by His Excellency the President of Zambia, Mr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu which believes in empowering marketeers. I wish to report that I have engaged leaders from market associations 3 times this week alone to discuss how we can protect the interests of the marketeers in terms of ownership options when a mordern chisokone is built.
The Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ) has called on all political players participating in the Chilanga Parliamentary by-election slated for June 5, 2018 to conduct peaceful campaigns.
CCZ General Secretary, Emmanuel Chikoya has reminded political players that winning an election is not a desperate task or winning by any means necessary.
Fr. Chikoya stated that winning an election is not about slander campaigning, character assassination or inciting one group against another to score cheap political points.
He further said winning an election is not about using hate speech or offensive language but a contest of ideas, fighting for winning majority votes, selling of practicable policies and programs for improving the lives of the electorate.
The CCZ General Secretary observed that a free, fair and peaceful election is not hinged on just one political party alone working to ensure peace but on all political parties participating in an election.
He said all stakeholders in the Chilanga Parliamentary By-Election should have one goal of working hard to ensure a peaceful process during campaigns, on the day of voting and after the election.
CCZ General Secretary, Emmanuel Chikoya
Fr. Chikoya has reminded all participants in the by-election that the environment will be competitive but should remain peaceful and non-violent adding that the nation should remain united.
He added that all political players should have zero tolerance for violence within and outside their ranks stating that they should not only talk about peace but live in peace with themselves, their members and other political stakeholders.
Fr. Chikoya has challenged all participating political parties to be consistent in their condemnation of violence by upholding zero tolerance against violence both in private and public.
He noted that elections should be about credibility, integrity and trust in the candidates, their political ideology and the team with the required capabilities of managing the resources and assets competently for the benefit of majority of the electorate.
Fr. Chikoya has also called on the security agencies to be firm but fair and that they should not be seen to be siding with any political party because that will be a recipe for chaos.
And Fr. Chikoya has urged the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to superintend over the election in a very professional and transparent manner and decisively deal with violent political parties.
He has also advised the public media to offer fair coverage to all participating political parties.
Fr. Chikoya said the media in general should be factual and responsible in their reporting and avoid publishing unverified and alarming news that result in the breakdown of law and order.
This is contained in a statement released to ZANIS by Council of Churches in Zambia Communications Officer, Michael Mazakaza.
Zambia has held a bilateral meeting with Japan at the Africa-Japan Investment Forum held at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Mines Minister Richard Musukwa led a delegation of Zambian government officials while the Japanese delegation was led by its Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Hiroshige Seko.
Speaking during the meeting, Mr. Musukwa mentioned that government was promoting mineral exploration for the development of both small and large scale mining operations in order to increase employment generation and business opportunities for the local people.
He said mining was at the center of Zambia’s industrialization and job creation strategy as reflected in the seventh National Development Plan, therefore, the provision of geological information was central to the growth of the sector.
Mr. Musukwa expressed gratitude to the Japanese government for collaborating with Zambia to help generate geological information through a Japanese firm called JOGMEC, noting that this move will enhance Zambia’s vast mineral potential.
He noted that the collaboration between the two countries will help increase capacity and investment in Zambia’s mining sector as it will facilitate for transfer of technology that will enable the country utilize its mineral resource in creating an industrial base for manufacturing sector and value addition.
And Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Hiroshige Seko says his government was happy to partner with the Zambian Government to bring development and enhance trade volumes both in trade and mining sector.
He said Japan was the world’s leading manufacturer of battery solutions for cars, mobile phones and computers and wanted to invest in the production of copper and cobalt.
He said his government was keen to support investment in the exploration, mining and smelting of copper and cobalt facilities

National Guidance and Religious Affairs Minister Godfridah Sumaili paying FDD President Judith Nawakwi a courtesy call
FORUM for Democracy and Development (FDD) president Edith Nawakwi has requested President Edgar Lungu consider convening a private meeting with United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema before next month’s all-parties dialogue process.
Ms Nawakwi said a private meeting, preferably under auspices of the Church, would build trust and rapport between Mr Lungu and Mr Hichilema and help facilitate an effective national dialogue process.
She said this at the FDD secretariat on Thursday when National Guidance and Religious Affairs Minister Godfridah Sumaili paid her a courtesy call to discuss values and principles related to political parties and leadership in the country.
“This tension should be broken by senior officials before national dialogue starts. We feel that Government is in a better position to bring an end to the fighting among parties,” Ms Nawakwi said.
She said a pre-dialogue meeting would ensure that leaders spoke with one language during the national dialogue process so that Zambia could address the largely electoral law related issues that caused disputes after recent elections.
Ms Nawakwi said time was ripe for politicians to start holding social meetings with a view to discussing pertinent national issues, saying the trend of speaking through the media was not helping in building the nation.
She stressed that the Zambia Centre for Inter-Party Dialogue (ZCID) in its present form had capacity to chair a successful dialogue process but this required commitment from major political party leaders.
Rev Sumaili said Zambia’s progress and development hinged on citizens’ readiness to embrace values like patriotism, ethics, human dignity and honestly which Zambians had agreed to enshrine in the Constitution.
She said there was need for people to embrace Christian values, emphasising that this was crucial to sustaining the peace being enjoyed in the country.
Rev Sumaili said Government was engaging political parties over values to help promote decent politics which were anchored on respect and unity of purpose.
She said opposition parties were important to fostering unity in the nation and the dialogue process would succeed if everyone agreed and worked together.
Rev Sumaili said unity was not cheap because it required sacrifice and tolerance on the part of political and religious stakeholders and the general citizenry.
Parties should promote co-existence and unity in their structures so that Zambia could remain stable.

Banned from football for the sixth time in his life, Simataa Simataa said yesterday he would be taking his case to the office of the Office of Public Protector.
Simataa said his ban from all football-related activities by the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) for alleged unethical conduct against the association amounted to intimidation and harassment.
It is the sixth ban the outspoken Simataa has coped in his nearly 30 years of involvement in football administration, becoming Zambia’s most banned sports personality.
Joking that he was probably the most banned sports person in the world, Simataa said he would be taking the matter to the Office of the Public Protector. “I think this is something I must take to the Public Protector. I am going there on Monday,” he said.
Simataa questioned if members of the FAZ Ethics Committee understood the law for them to ban him before he could defend himself.
Simataa said in an interview when he attended the meeting that he did not go there to submit his defence but to present preliminary grounds for his argument.
“How can they make a ruling on preliminary grounds? I was clear that I was presenting six preliminary grounds not my defence and so how can they make a ruling before I defend myself. Have they ever heard of a trial within a trial? These are lawyers, don’t they know the law?” Simataa said.
Asked whether he would appeal the ban, Simataa asked to whom he could appeal, explaining he had not yet received the letter and only saw it on social media where he posted a picture of himself at Football House where he found that the letter was not ready.
“I have been banned before in the past. This will be my sixth ban. What did I do in the past? Who should I appeal to?” he said.
Among the submission Simataa presented to the committee was the argument that FAZ had no code of ethics in keeping with Article 60 (3) of the FIFA Code of Ethics and therefore invoking the article needed a resolution of the executive committee.
Simataa also submitted that the commissioners were conflicted because one of them was a his relative while the chairman, Cephas Katongo, was a close friend of FAZ president Andrew Kamanga’s.
But the committee responded that the submissions lacked merit and were misconceived because the FAZ Constitution, under Article 7, mandated bodies and officials of FAZ to observe statutes, regulations, directives, decisions and the Code of Ethics of FIFA.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) and the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) of conspiring to prevent their candidate in the Chilanga parliamentary by-election from filing in nominations.
NDC consultant Chishimba Kambwili says the PF deliberately blocked the NDC candidate Webster Katongo from filing his nominations.
Mr. Kambwili has further blamed the ECZ for not providing guidance on how many people should be found at the nominations center.
And party campaign manager Saboi Imboela says the commission should in future make sure that the number of people at the nominations filing centers is limited to reduce confusion.
She says the party through its Secretary General Mwenya Musenga has since written to the commission asking them to ensure that all participating political parties resist from ferrying cadres from other districts to filing centers.
According to reports, NDC’s Webster Katongo was disqualified after failing to file-in his nomination around 13:30 hours and allegedly went into hiding together with his supporters forcing the party to search for an alternative candidate, Edward Simfukwe.
Mr Katongo was unreachable as he was reported to have switched off his mobile phone, sending other party members into panic, and around 16:30 hours, Mr Simfukwe only managed to mobilise a few members to accompany him to file his nomination, but ECZ officials could not allow him to go ahead with filing because he was late.

Inspector General of Police Kakoma Kanganja has advised political party leaders participating in the Chilanga parliamentary election to stop inciting their cadres to disregard the law.
Mr. Kanganja said that there can only be peaceful elections if all players commit to having a violence free election which can be attained if they focus on issue based campaigns free of hate speech and character assassination.
The Police Chief said that he has since deployed enough police officers camped in strategic areas in Chilanga to police the by-election.
He however, stated that the officers have not been deployed in Chilanga to intimidate anyone, but see to it that every person is protected regardless of their political stance.
Inspector General of Police Kakoma Kanganja was in Chilanga constituency to check on the deployment of officers and the security situation. He was accompanied by Commissioner in charge of Administration, Ms Lombe Kamukoshi , and Lusaka Division second in Command Mr Geoffrey Kunda.
Chilanga constituency has been demarcated into Zones for easy policing.
Meanwhile Police Spokesperson Esther Katongo has dispelled reports circulating on social media suggesting that Police in Chilanga are telling UPND members to protect themselves as they cannot receive protection from police as they are protecting their jobs.
Ms. Katongo said that such statements are malicious and aimed at causing havoc.
She tells media the Zambia Police Service will at all times protect citizens regardless of their status in society.

He said Katete was a big agriculturial District in the Province and there was need for a reliable phone network.
He also said that the construction of communication mobile tower project will provided the much needed job opportunities for the local people, especially the youths of Eastern Province.
Mr. Zulu who is Malambo Member of Parliament said the construction of communication towers was also in line with the Government’s objective to provide communication services for all as stipulated in the Seventh National Development Plan (7NDP) covering 2017-2021.
He said the Patriotic Front(PF) Government through the Ministry of Transport and Communications was committed to increasing access to reliable and affordable Communication services across the country and today’s event Kafumbwe stands true to the unwavering commitment to the attainment of universal access to reliable cost effective communication services.

Minister of Health, MCC Hon. Dr Chitalu Chilufya in Luano , Central Province of Zambia
Minister of Health, MCC Hon. Dr Chitalu Chilufya has bemoaned the inadequate health infrastructure in Luano , Central Province of Zambia and has directed that 5 health posts be erected in the area to cater comprehensively to the people’s health needs.
Speaking at Chingombe on arrival for his tour of health facilities in Central Province, Dr Chilufya stated that he had decided to visit Chingombe to see first hand how health services were being provided to the people of Luano in General and in this particular case, Chingombe .
*” The Patriotic Front Government under the able Stewardship of His Excellency President Edgar C. Lungu is committed to the Universal Health Coverage agenda , leaving no one behind. The people of Luano will be part of the broad agenda to deliver health services, health access for all that summons us to the responsibility to build appropriate infrastructure and create relevant referral systems to ensure that people in Luano are linked to Health Services. ” He said .*
He stated that planning Health services involved mapping were people were staying and ensuring that they accessed health services within a 5 Kilometer radius and ensuring there was a network of clinics to provide appropriate primary health care services as well as option for referral to another facility or the next level of care.
” What we have noted here in Luano district in General is gross Inadequecy in Infrastucture for Health. Inadequate referal processes hampered by the inadequency in human resource and infrastructure but also by transport. It is important in a setup such as this that we create a network with a Zonal facility in a place were there are more people and plant health posts in places were there are non so that people stop moving long distances. In the meantime, other health posts that exist, should be referring to the Zonal facility. So that only those cases that require first level services go outside your catchment to the Mukushi Hospital.” He said .
*He stated that Luano in general did not have a first level hospital. And announced that Government would this year build a first level Hospital for the people in Luano.*
” We will position a first level Hospital strategically so that the Zonal facilities that receive referras from the Health posts are able to pour into the first level Hospital. Luano will need a fast tracked infrastructure expansion program in order to reduce inequalities and ensure that access to health for all becomes a reality. ” He said .
” For starters, Chingombe area is a facility that provides health services to a very broad catchment. Yes the population is 3200, but the distances people move to access the Health Services in some cases beyond 30 kilometers, the geographical challenges which often times involve rivers cutting off certain places from accessing health services requires that we reduce the catchment area for the first level of response.” He said .
And Dr Chilufya announced that the first thing that they would do , would be to upgrade Chingombe in order to reduce on the need for referrals outside Chingombe.
” We are going to Upgrade Chingombe to a Zonal Health Facility. And by upgrading to a Zonal Health Facility, we are going to Improve the establishment. So you will receive more human resource, more nurses, more clinical Staff. Services will be expanded. There will have to be Improved laboratory Services, there must be some form of imaging diagnostic Services. There must be some little theatre were you can do some basic cases and you will only need to refer for major surgical operations.” Said the Minister.
And the Minister of Health, has announced the Upgrading of Mpunde Mission Zonal Health Facility in Kapiri Mposhi, into a first Level Hospital.
The Minister said this when he paid a call on Senior Chief Chipepo .
He stated that President Lungu was determined to ensure access of adequate Health care services for all Zambian’s and Hence he had sent him and his team to ensure that they addressed the challenges of Health Facilities that the people of Senior Chief Chipepo’s area were faced with.
And the Chief stated that he was delighted at the gesture and pledged unflinching support to the leadership of His Excellency President Edgar Chagwa Lungu because he was bringing unprecedented development in the nation.
