The opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) has backtracked from its earlier position of not complying with the regulation under Public Order Act to hold public political gatherings.
In August this year the UPND had resolved not to notify the Police in future whenever it intends to hold public protests in the country not until police reviews how it implements the Public Order Act.
UPND Deputy Secretary General Kuchunga Simusamba has disclosed to Qfm in an interview that his party is now convinced that from the recent happenings in the country, the police has demonstrated that it is no longer restrained from manning public protests and assemblies.
Mr. Simusamba has also disclosed that to this effect his party has decided to write a letter to notify the police on its intentions to have a meeting and a demonstration against the Acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda.
VICE President Guy Scott has told Parliament that the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) is investigating the alleged illegality surround the Digital Terrestrial Migration (DTM) tender procedure.
Dr Scott said this when United Party for National Development (UPND) Mazabuka Central Member of Parliament Garry Nkombo asked why the ACC had not commenced with investigations over the alleged fraud in the awarding of the tender for the DTM.
This was during the Vice President’s question and answer session. Mr Nkombo wondered whether the non-commencement of the investigations was part of the Presidential order that no Government senior officers should be investigated without his permission.
“I understand the matter in question is before the ACC, but I don’t have the information on how far it has gone. I will provide the answer to the MP in due course once I am furnished with the details,” Dr Scott said.
He said the cancellation of the tender would not affect Zambia’s attainment of the deadline to switch to DTM by 2015.
Information and Broadcasting Services Permanent Secretary Emmanuel Mwamba last week announced the cancellation of the DTM tender, following advice from the Zambia Public Procurement Authority (ZPPA).
Airtel HQ in Lusaka
AN investigation firm has sued Airtel Zambia Limited demanding for payment of more than K800 million due to it for investigation services rendered to the company.
Vanguard Investigations Limited has charged that Airtel has failed to pay K832, 500.00 despite promises to settle the debt.
The company is also demanding for damages for breach of contract, costs and nay other relief the court may deem fit.
It stated in its statement of claim that it was a company incorporated in Zambia carrying on business of investigations while Airtel was a mobile phone service provider and was its client.
The firm said in January 2013, it through its managing director Captain James Kasamanda met former managing director for Airtel King and its legal counsel Nawa Mataa here he informed them of illegal sim cards which were being sold on the market at K1, 500 per sin card.
Vanguard Investigations Limited said that it was agreed at the meeting that the parties would work together to address the issues.
It said that following the agreement, Airtel through its servant or agent Lowita Sayila the corporate governance manager requested it to go ahead with investigations and more especially requested that Airtel through it should purchase two illegal sim cards from the illegal
dealers.
The firm further stated that Airtel also bought A Samsung mobile phone for the investigation firm to use in the investigations.
It said that it was requested by Airtel to make AS many calls as possible for both tracking internally and investigations on the aortal network.
The company said it was established that the information provided to Airtel was true as the illegal sim cards could not be monitored on their system.
It said that on February 5, 2013 a bill was sent by email to Airtel to request for payments for the services rendered but todate, it has failed or neglected to pay.
PATRIOTIC Front (PF) cadres have continued to turn on the heat on party Secretary General (SG) Wynter Kabimba to step down with demonstrations against the embattled SG yesterday spreading to Kitwe.
Scores of party cadres who were joined by a number of councillors and other party officials from various constituencies in Kitwe joined in the demonstration.
The party cadres marched from City Square then on to Oxford Road and later Kantanta Street before converging at the party’s district offices along Kantanta Street in Nkana East.
The slogan-chanting cadres who carried with them placards denouncing Mr Kabimba started the demonstration around 10:00 hours.
District party youth vice-chairperson Charles Kabwita who spoke on behalf of others said they had decided to join their colleagues in other parts of the country in calling for the resignation of Mr Kabimba because the SG had continued to show his arrogance.
Mr Kabwita who is also Chimwemwe ward councillor said party members in the district were not happy with Mr Kabimba’s arrogance and as such wanted him out of office immediately.
“If the President still wants him, then let the Head of State keep Mr Kabimba as Justice Minister and not secretary general because it is clear that he has failed in this position.
“We the youths in Kitwe and the entire PF membership in the district don’t want Mr Kabimba because he has only achieved in dividing the party,” Mr Kabwita said.
Kitwe district vice youth secretary Mukuzo Kaboba said the bickering in the party caused by Mr Kabimba was unfortunate and should be quickly addressed.
HOME Affairs minister Edgar Lungu has admitted and regretted that police officers fear to discharge their duties on law breakers especially those belonging to the ruling Party.
Mr Lungu said the spirit of fear in police officers to deal with perpetrators of crime by those from the ruling Party was a legacy that had been inherited from Independence, which the Patriotic Front was trying to correct.
He said the PF had liberated police officers to operate freely and encouraged them to uphold the law and exercise it on anyone regardless of their political affiliation and social status.
Mr Lungu said this when Mumbwa Member of Parliament Brian Chituwo (MMD) questioned the minister on what Government was doing to comprehensively deal with the matter in which cadres took the law in their own hands.
This was after the minister gave a ministerial statement to Parliament on the alleged impartial application of the Public Order act (POA) and the issue of Trespass and illegal allocation of plots in Lusaka West which caused violence and led to damage of property.
The ministerial statement arising from a Point of Order raised by United Party for National Development (UPND) Choma Central MP Cornelius Mweetwa who on Tuesday alleged that his political Party was never allowed to hold public rallies and processions and yet PF cadres were being allowed to do so.
“I must admit that the fear by police to execute their work against people in the ruling party is a challenging one, but as PF we won’t fail to correct this trend,” Mr Lungu said.
[pullquote]“I must admit that the fear by police to execute their work against people in the ruling party is a challenging one, but as PF we won’t fail to correct this trend,” Mr Lungu said.[/pullquote]
He said he was aware of some of the members from the opposition political parties who were law breakers had joined the ruling Party to be protected.
“We shall not allow people from the MMD to join us with their iniquities in the name of sharing our vision. Join us by helping us implementing the vision. We mean well and we want the police to do their work,” Mr Lungu said.
In the ministerial statement he said no political Party was stopped from holding public rallies or a march as long as they lodged in their written notice with the Zambia Police a week before the actual date an meet all the requirements for such a procession.
He said the notice had to give the following details with the Zambia police, the number of people involved, the date, time, venue, route, and objectives among others.
He said the PF cadres initially notified Police of their intentions to march to the ministry of Justice on September 24, but that they were denied the request for fear of disturbing Government operations.
Instead they were later directed to March from Party headquarters to Kabwe roundabout up to Ben Bella and back to business.
“The Cadres intended to stage another march on September 25, this year but they were refrained from doing so. This is not the first time the Zambia Police was against the PF holding rallies or processions. We do not practice selective application of the public order Act,” he said.
He noted that the UPND was last week allowed to hold a public rally in North Western Province and another on the Copperbelt and Police provided the necessary security.
He said in the recent past the UPND were allowed to hold rallies in densely populated areas like Kabwata, Mtendere and Matero, just like the other opposition parties such as the National Restoration Party (NAREP) that was last week allowed to hold a party mobilisation exercise in Northern Province.
Mr Lungu also confirmed that some unruly people purporting to be PF cadres on Thursday fought running battles with Police for illegal demarcation and selling of land in Lusaka West and in the process damaged private property.
He reiterated that land encroachment was a criminal practice that had in recent times mushroomed to alarming levels especially in Lusaka.
He said it was against this background that the police strategically formulated an operation to stamp out this illegality in Lusaka West under the Westwood Police station and this would extend to other parts of the country.
He said to this effect 600 people were arrested for criminal trespass and appeared in court yesterday charged with criminal trespass and land grabbing .
Acting president Alexander Chikwanda has called for an end to what he has described as careless tribal talk by senior Patriotic Front officials.
Mr Chikwanda in a statement issued to QFM News says Government is deeply concerned with recent media reports attributed to senior government officials alleging that there is the practice of tribalism in the Patriotic Front (PF) and in government.
Below is the full statement
STOP THE CARELESS TRIBAL TALK – CHIKWANDA
LUSAKA, 27th SEPTEMBER, 2013. Government is deeply concerned with recent media reports attributed in some cases, to senior government officials alleging that there is the practice of tribalism in the Patriotic Front (PF) and in government.
It is indisputable that Zambia’s biggest asset is its peace and unity and that all its people live in harmony. In fact, Zambia’s natural unity is its fortress and anyone attempting to bring disunity based on tribe or ethnic grouping is strongly frowned upon.
Therefore the careless talk about tribalism is dangerous, regrettable and only serves to sow seeds of disunity. The talk is counter-productive to the well-being of the country and must be curbed immediately.
We must emphasize that the recent happenings in the Patriotic Front are purely internal debate and the normal practice of internal democracy. The political differences in the PF party will be resolved using established channels and its internal grievance handling process.
We should state that Government is functioning normally and there is no paralysis, fear or dysfunction as alleged by certain media reports. It is, therefore, naïve and illusory for the Opposition to assume that the internal differences in the PF will result in their reaping political fortunes. Over the years, the PF has demonstrated that it is a resilient and strong party that eventually overcomes its internal challenges and has emerged stronger and united.
Diversity of views can never be at variance with the dictates or imperatives of unity.
The PF Party will also not yield to selfish interests or private cleavages perpetrated by persons or individuals attempting to hijack the party or pursue agendas which are adrift with the national development agenda.
The Opposition will also not succeed in derailing government’s ambitious development agenda. It is, therefore, desirable that all leaders in the PF work together for the good of the party and country.
Government is committed to its national development program and will not be dissuaded by activities that undermine this noble agenda. Government is also focused in ensuring that poverty levels are significantly reduced, and that jobs and wealth are created.
Hon. Alexander B. Chikwanda M.P Acting President and Minister of Finance Republic of Zambia
Catherine Phiri enters the ring on Saturday at Mulugushi International Conference Centre to fight Toma-Hawa Babirye for the vacant African Boxing union women’s bantamweight crown.
The unbeaten 20-year-old enters the ring seeking for her seven successive win.
Phiri and her 28-year-old opponent have both vowed to emerge victorious in their customary pre-match talk with the Ugandan declaring a first round win over the Zambian boxer.
“She is good, I am good too, if she is not careful. I will knock her out,” Babirye said.
Babirye has a record of 16 win, four defeats and two draws.
“I am ready for her (Babirye), she said she will knock me out but she is yet to know me, instead her words will be the opposite,” Catherine said.
Meanwhile, sharing top billing will be ABU welterweight champion Charles Manuchi whose title is on the line against Isaac Sowah of Ghana.
Recent Government position on the ATI bill:Whats the real issue?
The Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR) welcomes Government’s recent announcement from the Ministry of Information that a consultant has been engaged to harmonise the Draft ATI Bill with “13 other existing pieces of legislation. This is, indeed a very necessary exercise if this important piece of legislation is to realise its intended purpose. As JCTR, we remain committed to championing the enactment of the law and to work collaboratively with the government to ensure that the law is passed without any further delays. We appreciate the government’s effort in updating the public on the status of the bill this far and we want to believe that every explanation we have received so far is valid.
“The only challenge we have is that these explanations seem to be isolated and somehow not foreseen”, said Sr. Kayula Lesa.
[pullquote]Should the public take to the streets like we have seen in the recent past from the PF cadres, to show how much Zambia needs the ATI Law?[/pullquote]
Recap on Explanations advanced by government since 2011
1. Launch postponed because Minister of Information had travelled to Copperbelt for a funeral
We wish to seize this opportunity to recap the explanations advanced by government since 2011. After the legal experts engaged by government drafted the 2012 ATI Bill, the Bill was scheduled to be launched on 21st of June 2012. However, the launch didn’t take place, as we were informed that then Minister of Information had travelled to the Copper belt for a funeral.
2. Rescheduled launch cancelled because further consultation with Attorney General needed
The launch was rescheduled to 26th June, 2012 but yet again cancelled this time because the government needed further consultation from the office of the Attorney General.
3. Guy Scott announces Bill to be tabled before Parliament in February 2012
After the second cancellation there was a long silence on the status of the bill after which Vice President, Hon. Guy Scot, announced at the 2012 Press Freedom Committee of the Post‘s Lucy Sichone and Bright Mwape Award presentation that the bill would be tabled before Parliament in February, 2013.
4.Bill not tabled because of Late Sakeni’s death
And just about a month ago when the Civil Society Coalition on ATI engaged government on the status of the bill, the explanation was that the ATI bill was not tabled before Cabinet because the then Minister of Information and Broadcasting, the Late Kennedy Sakeni (May God Rest his Soul) was ill.
5.Bill not tabled because it needs harmonisation with existing legislation
With all these explanations that we have received from the government, suddenly the issue is now that of harmonization.
Zambians deserve better
Surely, we would like to believe in the good will of the PF government but being human beings, we are also bound to be sceptical because, we have been subjected to endless explanations in regard to the ATI bill. Is government implying that the drafters they engaged in 2012 were so blind to the existence of other Laws that stand in conflict or in tandem with the ATI bill? We were at one point informed that the draft bill was with the Ministry of Justice. One would like to think that one of the things the Justice Ministry looked at was whether the draft was in harmony with other laws. The issue of harmonization comes at a stage when we would have expected the bill to be before parliament having been reviewed by a number of experts including government Ministries.
There has been too much rhetoric surrounding the ATI bill and the Speaker of the national Assembly is in order to demand a ministerial position. Should the public take to the streets like we have seen in the recent past from the PF cadres, to show how much Zambia needs the ATI Law?
Government needs to take stock of their real position and communicate that position to the Zambians because it is our right to know whatever that position is. In fact it’s in government’s own interest to show real commitment towards the completion of this important process and endeavor to present the bill to parliament within the current parliament sitting as promised in their election campaign.
This far, there have been too many positions and it is hard to keep track of what the real issue is about the Access to Information bill. We need to know the truth and the time is now.
Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) president Nevers Mumba has called for the impeachment of republican President Michael Sata for allegedly failing to govern the nation.
Dr. Nevers Mumba said President Sata has failed to govern the nation as evidenced from the shortages of essential drugs such as ARVs and BCG vaccines in health centres.
Dr. Mumba stated that some PF members themselves have seen that they have failed to perform to the expectations of the Zambian people and are now openly declare that the ruling party is dead.
He added that the PF was the worst experiment that the people of Zambia have made in the history of the country but that it is not too late to correct that mistake.
Dr Mumba added that President Sata should emulate the former ruling party which gave him freedom to hold public rallies without interference which made him win the 2011 General elections.
Dr. Mumba explained that if the MMD never gave chance to Mr. Sata to hold public rallies freely, he would have never tasted the presidency.
He has since called on Members of Parliament to consider raising a motion in parliament to impeach the President for failing to perform his duties as a Republican President which he swore to perform.
President Sata with Vice President Guy Scott at Statehouse
Vice President Guy Scott has differed with President Michael Sata on Robert Chikwelete who the president has appointed as the interim Lusaka district Chairperson.
During the vice president’s question time in Parliament this morning, Dr Scott said Mr Chikwelete is a self imposed Lusaka district PF Chairman.
Dr Scott who was responding to a question by Kasenengwa Member of Parliament,Victoria Kalima who wanted to know whether it was now government policy for party officials to give instructions to the Police in reference to Mr Chikwelete, said Mr Chikwelete is not the Lusaka district chairman stating that he is a self appointed chairman.
But during the recent commissioning of the Pave Zambia 2000 in Chawama compound in Lusaka, President Michael Sata referred to Chikwelete as the Lusaka district chairman who he also allowed to address the gathering in the presence of Dr Scott.
Meanwhile Dr Scott said the roadmap for the new constitution will only be known once the Technical Committee on drafting the constitution presents the final draft constitution.
Dr Scott was responding to a question by Chipili Member of Parliament Davis Mwila who wanted to know the roadmap for adopting the constitution in view of the indication by the Technical Committee that it will hand over the final draft to the President at month end of October.
