The Lusaka High Court has set November 24th as hearing date for the main matter on whether the rights of UPND president Hakainde Hichilema and his vice Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba were violated when the constitutional court decided to dismiss the presidential election petition.

In this case Mr. Hichilema wants the court to rule on whether his rights as enshrined in the constitutional were not violated when he was not heard before the constitutional court judges.
Mr. Hichilema has sued President Edgar Lungu his vice Inonge Wina, the electoral commission of Zambia, the Attorney General, Chief Justice her Deputy and the Constitutional Court.

The state has however asked the court to remove the chief justice, her deputy and the constitutional court from the case.

The state has submitted that it is the attorney general who is supposed to be sued and not the two individuals in their capacity as they are occupying public office.

Mr. Hichilema wants the high court to direct the constitutional court to hear and determine the presidential petition independently, fairly and within a reasonable time.

And the constitutional court has set Friday 30 September for hearing the matter in which Mr. Hichilema has asked the court on whether it was right to swear in president Elect Edgar Lungu in the absence of the declaration that he was duly elected.

Meanwhile, Mr Hichilema says former alliance partner and United Democratic Front (UDF) president Miles Sampa is inconsistent with his life and that he is only interested in his stomach.

Mr Hichilema told journalists at Lusaka Central Prison, popularly known as Chimbokaila, in Lusaka on Wednesday that Mr Sampa does not know what he wants in his life.

The Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) has described the outgoing Japanese Ambassador to Zambia His Excellency Mr. Kiyoshi Koinuma as a strong economic bridge builder, reports pan African Radio journalist Hermit Hachilonde.

In a statement Issued by ZDA Public Relations Officer Russell Haambbi, the Director General Patrick Chisanga said the Ambassador Koinuma facilitated a 14 member Japanese delegation of investors and prospective investors and informed the Agency of the Tokyo International Conference of Africa’s Development (TICAD) VI in his first year of appointment.

Mr. Chisanga added that ZDA facilitated a business forum for the Japanese delegation to enlighten them about the vast investment opportunities available in various sectors of the Zambian economy.

“From the business forum, Zambia has seen three significant investments from Japan in agriculture and manufacturing. One of the investments is moving into Lusaka South Multi Facility Economic zone, ” observed Mr. Chisanga.

The Director General revealed that he is looking forward to a time when Japan would move beyond just trading with Zambia to partnering in investments.

Mr. Chisanga has since explained that TICAD was a major turning point for economic partnership between Zambia and Japan as Zambia signed two Memoranda of Understanding with the Japanese private sector through the ZDA and the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC).

“We are now going to see more investments and economic collaborations between Zambia and Japan,” affirmed Mr. Chisanga.

Mr. Chisanga disclosed that further to the memorandum of understanding ZDA signed with Mizuho Bank Financing Group, ZDA is organising a business forum in Japan to consolidate the foundations built during TICAD six in Nairobi Kenya.

“In the second week of November, ZDA and some private sector players will be going to Tokyo, Japan to consolidate the foundations we begun at TICAD,” emphasised the Director General.

He has however expressed gratitude for the role outgoing Ambassador Koinuma played in bridging the economic partnership between the two countries.

“ZDA is sincerely grateful for the support and strong foundation you have helped to lay for Zambia and Japan,” explained the Director General.

The ZDA Director General also expressed sadness that Mr. Koinuma’s mission to serve in Zambia has come to an end and that he is leaving the country.

Mr. Chisanga has since wished the outgoing ambassador success in his new appointment.

And Mr. Koinuma thanked the Government of the Republic of Zambia for the positive relationship between the two countries during the time he has served in Zambia.

Commenting on the memoranda of understanding Zambia signed with Japan at the just ended TICAD, Mr. Koinuma said Tokyo is waiting for the results of the agreements.

“We have already launched the new age of our bilateral relationship with Zambia and now investment and trade partnerships are very important,” noted the outgoing ambassador.

“In the inauguration speech, the President talked about diversifying the economy and Japan can make immense contributions in helping Zambia to diversify,” added Mr. Koinuma.

He observed that Japan and Zambia can work together in various projects for the benefit of the two countries.

Mr. Koinuma however advised ZDA and IDC to take the leading role in engaging the Japanese investors.

Mr. Koinuma has been appointed by his Government to serve in Vienna, Austria in the same capacity.

CSPR expects 2017 budget to be focused on economic diversification

3

budgetTHE Civil Society for Poverty Reduction (CSPR) has said it was expectant that the 2017 National Budget which would be presented before Parliament next month would be more action oriented towards realizing real economic diversification from mining dependent to agriculture, tourism and manufacturing sectors.

CSPR Advocacy and Communication Programme Coordinator Maxson Nkhoma said in a statement in Chipata yesterday that Zambia has been broadly talking of economic diversification towards agriculture and other productive sectors such as tourism and manufacturing for more than a decade, the talk which had not been coupled with real actions on part of resource allocation towards the sectors in successive national budgets for the country to fully realize the actual economic diversification.

“While it is anticipated that the 2017 national budget will seek to respond and address the current budgetary constraints and fiscal deficit caused by shocks from the falling copper prices on the international market and power deficit which consequently caused the volatility of the kwacha between 2015 and 2016,”he said.

Mr Nkhoma said CSPR expectant that Government should walk the talk on economic diversification in the 2017 National Budget by way of allocating adequate resources towards agriculture, tourism and manufacturing sectors if the country was to survive from the sluggish global economic growth which has affected bigger economies including Zambia currently estimated to be around 3.1 percent in 2016 compared to 3.4 in 2014.

He said CSPR was expectant that the 2017 National Budget would ensure increased domestic revenue to sustainably finance poverty reduction programmes and promote national development through increased equity in revenue collection and expenditure.

He said Zambians were too expectant that the 2017 national budget would not only set a footnote of what to expect during the five years mandate given to President Edgar Lungu but it would also demonstrate and show clear links between the policy pronouncements made by the Head of State during his inauguration ceremony held in Lusaka at which he mentioned his Government’s commitment to the growth of agriculture sector.

“The inspiring inauguration speech made by President Edgar Lungu must be clearly linked to the 2017 national budget failure to which Zambians will take his inauguration speech to be a mere political rhetoric,”he said.

Mr Nkhoma said he hoped that the Presidential inauguration speech would be linked to the national budget and the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).

He said the agriculture sector if well financed and supported in the 2017 national budget has potential for wealth creation and economic growth and could trigger robust growth of the manufacturing industry through value addition, processing andpacking and job creation.

He said Zambia must take advantage of recently declared food deficit in the SADC region by increasing crop production which could easily sale in neighboring countries and bring the much needed forex to finance national development.

“We therefore hope that government through the 2017 national budget will introduce incentives in the agriculture sector which can attract investments and encourage more people and companies to invest in the agriculture sector by way of setting up value addition processing plants across the country,” he said.

He said it was regrettable to note that Zambia has continued to export jobs to other countries by way of exporting crops in rawform instead of exporting finished products.

Mr Nkhoma said CSPR was however, pleased with resource mobilizations efforts being made by Government through Road Development Agency (RDA )with the installation of Toll Gates which should in the long-run help to cushion and sustain road maintenance works.

IMF Team expected in Zambia next month to discuss the planned rescue package-Mutati

42

the-IMF1

A TEAM from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is expected in the country at the end of October to discuss the planned rescue package for Zambia, Minister of Finance Felix Mutati has disclosed.

The IMF plans to provide a monetary aid package of between US$1.2 billion and US$1.5 billion to help re-energise the economy.

Mr Mutati said the revival of Zambia’s economy will require prudent fiscal management with Government placing emphasis on the removal of unnecessary subsidies.

He said Government has since started working on modalities for engagement with the institution.

Mr Mutati told journalists on the sidelines of the Zambia Institute of Banking and Financial Services second international conference yesterday that Government is also working on an economic plan that will help to rescue the economy that has been grappling with fiscal deficits on the back of fluctuating commodity prices on the global market.

“Our strategy is clear. First of all, we need to construct a home-grown recovery programme with the key elements that are troubling the economy as a platform for engaging with IMF. The strategy is that we need to secure a stable recovery platform to grow the economy,” he said.

He said as Government plans to take the economy to sustainable levels, reducing the fiscal deficit remains crucial as it will help reduce government borrowing and further bring down interest rates prevailing in the financial market.

Mr Mutati admitted that the infrastructure development programme has contributed to government borrowing, thus the need to re-sequence the programme to ensure that infrastructure needs do not out-weigh other economic needs.

Government plans to reduce subsidies, which are largely benefitting the rich at the expense of the poor.

“Subsidies are benefitting the well-to-do at the expense of the marginalised citizens, whose socio-economic programmes such as health and education have had to be stopped to facilitate subsidies.

“The other subsidies that enhance our economic activities, particularly those in agriculture, will be reformed to ensure effectiveness and efficiency,” he said.

UK lecturer donates 16 parabolic solar cookers to various communities

Parabolic Solar Cooker
Parabolic Solar Cooker
A LECTURER at Plymouth University in United Kingdom (UK), Karen Treasure, has donated 16 parabolic solar cookers to various communities in Livingstone as well as in rural areas between Monze and Mazabuka.

Dr Treasure, who is also the founder of Solar Empower Zambia, plans to source for more solar cookers in UK to be distributed to various communities in the country.

Speaking in an interview in Livingstone shortly before she returned to UK, Dr Treasure said solar cookers were sustainable and reliable compared to charcoal and electricity in view of load shedding.

Dr Treasure said research had indicated that solar cookers could create independence especially for people faced with challenges of electricity deficit.

“I first brought five parabolic solar cookers and later went back to UK when I fundraised and got 16 cookers which I already distributed to different households in the communities,” she said.

Dr Treasure said the facilities were user friendly as they did not require spare parts or important materials to maintain them.

“For the last few years, Zambia has been losing at least one per cent of trees really and at least 300, 000 hectares for charcoal and other timber purposes.

“This year, there is a prediction that Zambia will lose 400, 000 hectares of trees which is not sustainable,” Dr Treasure said.

She said solar cooker were the best and sustainable options especially for people living in rural areas

The essence of Hip hop is to understand your struggle, your highs and lows in the journey of your life, your surroundings and the world at large; and vocalise it as a means of encouragement towards others and self expression. Hip hop is the movement that brings to light issues that are not normally addressed in society, the youth are susceptible to public opinion and the media, if there is no guiding voice to help them understand what it means to be in whatever situation they are in be it good or bad, without bias, and without judgment. Hip hop works as a vessel to reach out to vulnerable individuals and give them a true voice, it works as a platform to keep troubled individuals out of the arms of the law, and it provides a safe haven for them to feel free to express their opinions and thoughts and feelings. Hip Hop also serves as an asset to society if embraced well; many youth will be in a position to not only pursue their dreams as Hip hop artists and have thriving careers, but many more will be able to gain employment through the various positions the business has to offer behind the scenes.

The Cypher Clash has an experienced team with a combined over 30 years in the entertainment industry, with qualifications and experience in music, business, multimedia and marketing just to name a few.
