Minister of Health Joseph Kasonde has observed that cancer and other life threatening blood disorders among children were some of the major health problems which Zambia is facing.

Dr. Kasonde said Zambia has for a long time now been experiencing cancer diseases and blood disorders among children.

He said it was unfortunate that the country did not have enough resources to counter these problems.

He was speaking in Lusaka today when Cure 2 Children Foundation Coordinator Lawrence Faulkner paid a courtesy call on him at his office.

Cure 2 Children Foundation is an Italian based organisation supporting children with cancer and blood disorders.

Dr. Kasonde said the visit of Dr. Faulkner to Zambia was a blessing as it will greatly help on how best to handle cancer and blood disorders among the children in the country.

He added that it was important to receive forward looking and thinking people who will make a difference in the fight against cancer and blood disorders.

And Dr. Faulkner said his desire was to ensure that all the children suffering from cancer and blood disorders have access to health facilities.

He also advocated for the development of a strategy to counter blood diseases in children.

Dr. Faulkner, a paediatric haematologist and oncologist, is in the country at the invitation of the Zambian Childhood Cancer Foundation (ZACCAF), which is a group of parents that have had experience that cancer or life threatening blood disorders cause on children.

Ministry of Health to prioritize the enhancement of emergency health care services this year

The Ministry of Health says it will this year prioritize the enhancement of emergency health care services in a bid to prevent unnecessary deaths in the country.

Mobile and Emergency Health Director Welani Chilengwe revealed that health personnel were being trained in Critical Care Nursing to improve the current inefficient emergency health service system in the country.

Dr Chilengwe said this today when he officially opened a Critical Care Nursing Workshop for 14 Intensive Care Unit personnel at the Livingstone General Hospital.

He further said plans were underway to create clear structures of emergency teams at National, Provincial and District levels to respond to trauma cases.

“We need to create clear structures of emergency teams at national, provincial and district levels to deal with trauma cases since at the moment we do not have such,” he said.

Dr Chilengwe also challenged the trainees not to just concentrate on being competent but to be caring and empathetic towards their patients.

“No matter how competent you are, if you are unavailable, uncaring and not empathetic towards your patients then you are useless to them,” he said.

And Dr Chilengwe has disputed assertions that the establishment of the main Intensive Care Unit at the Livingstone General Hospital was not done due to the country’s co-hosting of the UNWTO with neighboring Zimbabwe.

He said the initiative to establish the facility was meant to improve the Livingstone General Hospital and service delivery to members of the public.

“Establishment of the main ICU at the Livingstone General Hospital is not because of the UNWTO as we have been doing this in other health institutions across the country,” he said.

Meanwhile, Dr Chilengwe revealed that about 192, 000 people accessed treatment from the Mobile Hospital Units countrywide since 2011 when the services were rolled out to members of the public.

He noted that the response to mobile health care services had been overwhelming especially in Copperbelt province.

Dr Chilengwe however, stated that Mobile Hospital Units faced the challenge of treating patients with utmost dignity due to overwhelming crowds in some places.

And Livingstone General Hospital Medical Superintendent Namani Monze commended efforts made by the directorate in his ministry to improve service delivery at the health institution.

Dr Monze said the Livingstone General Hospital had received a lot of support for emergency care and it was up to the health personnel to operate efficiently.

Government has signed two road reconstruction and upgrading contracts worth KR187.6 million (K187.6 billion) for selected roads in Ndola and Kitwe.

Local Government and Housing Permanent Secretary Bernard Namachila said the contracts have been signed with Bicon Zambia Limited and Ng’andu Consulting Limited to carry out designs and construction of 24 selected roads in Ndola and Kitwe at a cost of KR69.3 million (K69.3 billion) and KR 118.3 million (K118.3 billion) respectively.

Mr. Namachila told ZANIS in a statement issued in Lusaka yesterday that Bicon has engaged Jizan Construction Limited and Copperfield Mining Service as main contractors and Crocodile Construction as sub-contractors while Ng’andu Limited has engaged China Geo-Engineering Corporation as the contractor.

He revealed that 12 selected roads of 20.9 kilometres (km) in length will be upgraded in Ndola and another 12 roads of 20 km will be rehabilitated and upgraded in Kitwe.

He said the works on these roads will include construction of drainage systems and concrete slabs on household access roads and road junctions.

The Permanent Secretary said government decided to work on the urban roads in the two cities because the roads had deteriorated to unacceptable levels while in some cases road designs needed to be upgraded to meet modern standards.

He disclosed that the consultants and contractors would be on site within 28 days adding that the ongoing works were part of the 8000 Link-Zambia project that was launched by President Michael Sata late last year.

Among the roads to be worked on in Ndola are Ndeke North Boundary, Mwasumina, Chikola Crescent, Dola Hill, Chilubi, Kaloko, Nyerere/Kanu, Chilyamitondo, Luapula, Ndibu/Mitengo/Mwata Kazembe, Fintente and Chinyika/Shinde roads.

In Kitwe the roads to be worked on are Dury-Lumumba, Chandamali, Emmanuel Mulemena, Lufunsa, Nachibungulubwe, Lima clinic, Chishimba, Kaunda Square, Kalondeteka, Nkana east –Ndeke, Government and Kawama.

Luwingu retailers defy presidential order over mealie meal price

Rural News

editor

January 9, 2013

Mealie meal retailers in Luwingu district in the Northern Province have declared that they will not reduce the prices of the commodity despite the presidential order.

A survey carried by the District Commissioner, Mambwe Katontoka yesterday revealed that the price of mealie meal is still at K65, 000 (KR65) for break fast and K60, 000 (KR60) for roller meal respectively.

They said they will not reduce the price of mealie meal because they ordered the commodity from Lusaka where they incurred huge transport expenses.

The retailers told ZANIS that they recently reduced the mealie meal prices by K15, 000 KR15 from the previous K80, 000 (KR80) for break fast and K75, 000 (KR75) for roller meal respectively.

The shop owners added that they will not reduce any further despite the directive from the highest office in the land.

“Why are you defying the order from the President?” asked the District Commissioner.

They said that they were not just defying the order but they were considering the price at which they ordered the commodity which they described to have been exorbitantly high, but reaffirmed that the next consignment will be reduced in line with the Presidential directive.

They said reducing the mealie meal price for the sake of personal politics will not yield any fruits in Luwingu because the district has no millers to produce mealie meal and people depend on them who orders from Lusaka.

And Mrs Katontoka said that she will not take kindly to any mealie meal dealer who defies presidential directive in her district.

The visibly annoyed District Commissioner told the mealie meal dealers that it was impolite for them to behave in the manner they did because they had the obligation to give respect to the Head of State that they voted for.

She however said she will communicate to the provincial Permanent Secretary for an advice following the appeal from the dealers that they bought the commodity from Lusaka at higher price.

Meanwhile residents who stormed ZANIS to register their grievances over the high price of mealie meal in Luwingu have demanded that the District Commissioner should act quickly in line with the president directive to serve them from further exploitation.

They said it was disappointing to note that mealie meal dealers were merely exploiting consumers under the auspice of expensive order prices purported to have incurred while at the same time disregarding the presidential order.

President Michael Sata is on record to have warned millers selling a 25 kg bag of mealie meal at above K50, 000 that they risk having their licenses revoked.

President Michael Sata urges Zambia Security Intelligence Service to be proactive

General News

January 9, 2013

President Michael Sata has urged the Zambia Security Intelligence Service (ZSIS) to adopt proactive measures and boost the efforts of other law enforcement agencies in fighting corruption.

Addressing the ZSIS senior officers’ conference yesterday, President Sata noted that the problem of corruption can be a hindrance to national development as public resources are susceptible to abuse by public officers.

“In this connection, my government will not relent in fighting the scourge as failure to do so could undermine economic development,” the Head of State said.

“In view of this, I would like you to take proactive measures to augment the efforts of other law enforcement agencies such, as the Zambia Police Service, Drug Enforcement Commission and the Anti-corruption Commission in fighting the vice.”

President Sata also urged the intelligence to not only continue monitoring the activities of subversive elements, but also take decisive measures as provided for in the Zambia Security Intelligence Service (ZSIS) Act.

“I expect the service to focus its energies on ensuring that national interests prevail over individual interests and should serve as a basis for the formulation of appropriate strategies that will direct the operations of the service in 2013” the President said.

“In this respect, I urge you to remain committed to your noble cause by maintaining high standard of professionalism and discipline.”

The President said he was confident that the intelligence service is focussing its operations in line with the PF Government’s policies.

And ZSIS Director General Mr. Martin Mwanambale pledged the intelligence service’s total loyalty to the Head of State, the Government and the people of Zambia.

This is contained in a statement signed by the the President’s Special Assistant for Press and Public Relations George Chella.

ERB acted correctly to upward round off fuel prices

Economy

January 9, 2013

The Energy Regulation Board (ERB) has refuted accusations suggesting that it has increased the prices of fuel following the rebasing of the Kwacha.

Members of the public recently raised concerns that ERB increased the price of fuel for petrol and diesel by upwards rounding off the prices.

ERB Director for Consumer and Public Affairs Agness Phiri said the board operated within the technical guidelines given by the Bank of Zambia (BOZ) to all stakeholders.

Ms. Phiri told ZANIS in Lusaka today that institutions were allowed to round off upwards if the third decimal figure was higher or equivalent to five (5).

She said this was under the guidelines given by Bank of Zambia to all stakeholders.

She explained that the central bank’s instructions were that the figure should not be changed but removed if the third decimal figure was below five.

Ms. Phiri stressed that ERB had not effected a fuel price increase saying that rounding off the third decimal figure was a standard practice on rebasing by stakeholders in both the private and public sector.

ERB has been running public notices in various newspapers on new rebased prices for petrol, diesel and Kerosene whose prices were K8,155, K7,566, and K5,154 respectively and are now KR8.16, KR7.57, and KR5.15.

Government threaten to withdraw trading licences over non compliance on mealie meal prices

Government threaten to withdraw trading licences over non compliance on mealie meal prices

The Government has threaten to withdraw trading licences from traders dragging their feet’s in reducing the price of mealie meal prices following a meeting held between the President Michael Sata and millers.

Central Province minister Philip Kosamu said the government would be forced to direct the council to revoke licences if millers fail to reduce the price of mealie meal of a 25 kilogrammes by today.

This follows an emergency meeting held between President Sata and members of the Millers Association of Zambia (MAZ) to halt escalating prices of the staple food.

After the State House meeting on Monday, MAZ agreed to peg the wholesale price of a 25kilogramme bag of breakfast mealie- meal at KR47 (K47, 000) and KR50 (K50, 000) for retail.

Similarly, a 25kilogramme bag of roller meal will now cost KR35 (K35, 000) wholesale price, while the retail price is now KR38 (K38, 000).

But Mr Kosamu who was accompanied by Central Permanent Secretary Annie Sinyangwe who conducted an impromptu tour was sadden that some millers were still reluctant to reduce the price despite the presidential directive.

He said that the government would not sit back and watch miller deliberately exploit Zambians.
The Minister took to task a senior manager at Simba Milling company who expressed ignorance over the meeting but referred queries to her overall boss.

The company however, said it was unable to reduce the price due to transportation cost and the 25 kg was selling at KR52 retail price for breakfast while roller was going for KR48.

The minister and permanent secretary toured National Milling , Glance milling and C.K Milling who had complied with the directive while at AV-Milling the manager said there only sold few bags but halted the sale in readiness to start selling at the newly recommended price.

And Mrs Sinyangwe said the government was committed to working with millers because there were partners in development .

She said millers should not wait to be directed provided there are following the law and that the government has an open door policy of ensuring fair trade for both buyers and traders.

And a survey within city centre and banker shopping centre found some traders are still selling the 25kg at KR56 and KR58kg selling the new prices would only be effected once the old stocks runs out while at Shoprite Superior milling was going at KR5548 and Antelope KR5448.

Before proceeding for the closed-door meeting with the millers, President Sata said he would not allow mealie-meal prices to remain high as this could degenerate into food riots which were experienced in UNIP’s reign in 1986 and 1990.

The Patriotic Front (PF) Government would not allow exploitation of Zambians by the millers as this could spark riots.
