The Lusaka City Council (LCC) says it has launched a

campaign to educate school going children on the dangers of early alcohol intake and other bad vices.

LCC Assistant Public Relations Manager, Habenzu Mulunda, said the council has started going to learning institutions to provide pupils with information on dangers of alcohol abuse with a view to helping stop the vice.

Mr Mulunda said in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka today that the council is, among other things, giving motivational talks to pupils aimed at helping stop alcohol abuse and concentrate on school.

He said the move is in line with President Rupiah Banda’s directive for the councils to reinforce by-laws and stop under-age patronizing bars and taverns.

He also said that council police have continued monitoring bars and taverns that are abrogating the laws by allowing under-age patrons and opening before stipulated time of 10:00 hours.

Mr Mulunda said the LCC sends out patrols to ensure that bar and tarven owners abide by the laws and open from 10:00 hours and close at 22:00 hours and do not allow under age patrons.

Mr Mulunda said the council has received a number of complaints from the public concerning these issues since the directive was given last month by President Banda, and thanked the public for their positive responses.

He said the council has received particular massive response from residents in Kabwata and Luangwa Compound in Garden who have tipped the council on illegal sale of alcohol in the areas.

Mr Mulunda said under the Liquor Licensing Laws, it is illegal for individuals to sell beer without a liquor license, adding that it is also prohibited to sell beer to under-age children.

He said the council has reprimanded some and also moved in to close other bars and taverns for committing different offences.

Mr Mulunda has reiterated the council’s commitment to close down flouting liquor businesses, especially during the long weekend.

A non governmental organization in Kafue district has attributed the current price

increase of agricultural products such as tomatoes, cabbages and others to non production of locally available and cheap fertilizer by Nitrogen Chemicals of Zambia (NCZ).

International Development Enterprise (IDE) Kafue Field Team Leader, Jairos Simukoko says during the last quarter of the year, many farmers were subjected to expensive inputs, making it difficult for them to sell their products cheaply.

Mr Simukoko told ZANIS in an interview that the role the NCZ plays in determining the prices of agricultural products should not be undermined as its fertilizers were appreciated by many Zambians.

He said specifications of fertilizer from NCZ for various types of soils and crops in Zambia still remain the best and and the inputs reached far flung areas of the country year round when they were produced.

Mr Simukoko stated that there is need for government to recapitalize NCZ so that it produces fertilizer this year, adding that the current price of imported fertilizer is too high for peasant farmers to afford.

Mr Simukoko, however, said his organization, which is targeting 2,500 households in Kasaka and Muchuto areas would continue supporting farmers with the technical know-how and financial resources as a way of inspiring them to work hard in agriculture.

He said IDE has currently assisted the community in the areas with access to irrigation facilities such as treadle pumps, drip irrigation and inputs.

Forgiveness of nurses should also be extended to salaries-Mambo

striking-nursesA Lusaka-based clergyman has commended President Rupiah Banda for pardoning nurses and other health workers who took part in last month’s countrywide strike.

Church of God former Regional Overseer, Bishop John Mambo, says the Christian community is happy to see that the Head of State has pardoned the nurses and other health workers who were on the verge of dismissal for their illegal act.

Bishop Mambo told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka today that President Banda has demonstrated a fatherly heart by forgiving the concerned workers.

Bishop Mambo, who is also Chikondi Foundation president, said President Banda’s forgiveness for health workers has demonstrated the love he has for the public service workers in the country.

He, however, appealed to President Banda to pay salaries to workers who participated in an industrial unrest.

Bishop Mambo, who is also Nyamphande Orphanage founder member, said President Banda’s forgiveness for the nurses should also be extended to salaries, saying that nurses went on strike for the sake of pressuring government to improve their working conditions.

The clergyman further urged the labour movement to educate its members on the need to follow the laid-down administrative channels and promote rapport with government with a view to fostering economic development in the country before resorting to going on strikes.

Bishop Mambo said that he was concerned by the strike by health workers, especially that it resulted into loss of many lives in the country.

He has since called on government to address problems in the health and education sectors respectively, saying the two sectors were key to the social economic development of the country.

Bank of Zambia (BOZ) Deputy Governor, Denny Kalyalya, has observed that Zambia’s banking industry has not been badly affected by the global economic crisis like some other countries on the globe.

Speaking in Ndola during a press briefing held at the BOZ pavilion at the on-going Zambia International Trade Fair, (ZITF), Dr Kalyalya said the mild impact of the global economic crisis on the Zambian banking industry is demonstrated by the unaffected commercial bank deposits.

Dr Kalyalya revealed that the deposits stood at K12.2 trillion for 2008 and 12.1 for this year at the close of the first quarter of the year in March.

He also said that there has been a steady increase in the number of commercial banks opening branches in the country which indicates that the sector is performing well.

He also noted that Zambia has not experienced closure of any bank resulting from the global economic crisis like has been the case in most countries on the globe.

And Dr Kalyalya has urged commercial banks to promote circulation of clean notes.

He also encouraged members of he public to take mutilated money notes back to the banks for replacement.

And the bank of Zambia governor encouraged members of the public, especially those in small-scale entrepreneurship, to buy government securities to raise money for expansion of their businesses.

Meanwhile, Bank of Zambia Asistant Director for Non-Banks financial institutions supervising department, Glads Musosha, said there has also been an increase in the number of micro finance institutions and leasing and financing institutions.

Ms Musosha further added that there has also been an increase in the number of people accessing bank loans and mortgages than before, a situation she said indicates the viability of the industry.

She, however, observed that many of the banks and the non-bank financial institutions are concentrated along the line of rail.

She said there was need for these institutions to be spread to rural areas so that more people have access to banks and financial institutions.

Adapt to the hardworking culture of the Chinese- RB

President Rupiah Banda stresses a point during the press conference he addressed at State House

PRESIDENT Rupiah Banda has asked Anhui Foreign Economic Construction Company (AFECC), the company contracted to construct the ultra-modern stadium in Ndola, to complete the construction of the stadium in 18 months not the scheduled 24 months.

He also urged the Zambians that have been recruited to work with the Chinese company in the construction of the stadium to adapt to the hard working culture of the Chinese people.

President Banda said he does not want to hear that Zambian workers have gone on strike because they feel they are being over worked, but they should be willing to work for long hours as that was the working culture of the Chinese, which he said has helped them to develop their country.[quote]

Speaking at the project ground breaking ceremony in Ndola yesterday, President Banda urged the Chinese contractor to finish the stadium in 18 months so that some other new projects can be started.

The President said there are some many developmental projects that government intends to carry out with the help of the Chinese.

He prodded the Zambian workers to contribute to the development of their country by working side by side with the Chinese people in the project.

And President Banda has paid tribute to late president, Levy Mwanawasa, who initiated the idea for the construction of the stadium.

He said he will ensure that the stadium is completed as he promised during his presidential campaigns to continue on the developmental programmes of the late president.

Mr Banda observed that the Zambians and Chinese have enjoyed warm relations for a long time and the Chinese have helped in developing Zambia through undertaking several construction projects such as the construction of Tazara Rail line, Lafarge Cement plant and various roads and bridges among several other projects.

He urged youths not to listen to people condemning the Chinese as they have proved to be a genuine friend and partner in developing Zambia.

He noted that all countries in the world are now seeking aid from China, and as such government should not be criticized for embracing Chinese investors.

And speaking earlier Chinese Ambassador Li Qiangming, commended the Zambian government for embracing Chinese investors.

Mr Qiangming said he was optimistic that the stadium will be completed and a high quality structure will be done for Zambia.

He said AFECC was a hard working company that has undertaken several construction projects of hotels and stadiums in various countries world wide.

He also noted that Zambia and China have enjoyed cordial relationships that have stood the test of time and the construction of the stadium by the Chinese will enhance these relations.

The Chinese envoy further observed that the construction of the stadium will promote transfer of technology and skills from the Chinese to the Zambians.

He urged the Zambians to support the Chinese during the project so that the work is done perfectly and fast.

Copperbeltbelt Province Minister, Mwansa Mbulakulima, said the stadium will boost the economy of Ndola as soccer has now become a business worldwide.

Mr Mwansa said the stadium will also unite the people of Zambia regardless of their political, social, religious and economic persuasions.

He said the stadium will also enhance production and service delivery in industries due to the morale that will be created when the local team wins soccer matches.

The new stadium will have a capacity of 40 thousand seats. It has been funded through a concession loan from the Chinese government.

‘Economy to grow by more than 5%’-Mutati

GOVERNMENT is confident that the country’s economy will grow by more than five percent next year after the budget cycle is changed.

Minister of Commerce Trade and Industry, Felix Mutati said this in Ndola yesterday when touring some stands at the Zambia International Trade Fair (ZITF).

“We hope that next year with the change in the budget cycle, there will be significant change in Government delivery and growth,” Mr Mutati said.

He was concerned that Government last year returned K900 million to the treasury because the 10-month implementation period for its programmes and projects is inadequate.

Mr Mutati said with the change in the budget cycle, the implementation period for Government projects and programmes will be extended to 12 months.

He said with the change in the budget cycle, the country’s economy will grow by more than 5 percent next year because Government will have a longer implementation period for its projects and programmes.

Mr Mutati also said the Zambia International Trade Fair (ZITF) is a key factor in bringing together various players in the business sector so that they can begin transacting.

He was also happy that the number of exhibitors at the ZITF has increased despite the effects of the global financial crisis.

Meanwhile, the Communications Authority (CA) says Zain Zambia has resolved a network problem that its subscribers have recently been experiencing.
This follows a 48-hour ultimatum the CA gave Zain Zambia to resolve the network problems and that failure to do so would attract penalties.

CA director for international and public relations, Lotty Kakubo said this in a statement issued at the Zambia International Trade Fair (ZITF) in Ndola yesterday.

Teta dismisses Sata vigilante claims

editor

teta2MMD spokesperson Benny Tetamashimba has reacted angrily to accusations by Patriotic Front (PF) president Michael Sata that the ruling party is using the police as its committee of vigilantes.

And Chief Government spokesperson, Lieutenant General Ronnie Shikapwasha says the MMD is a democratic party that would not bar anyone from challenging President Rupiah Banda at the party convention.

Commenting on a story in yesterday’s The Post newspaper, headlined `Police are now a vigilante committee of MMD – Sata’, Mr Tetamashimba said it was not true that the MMD was using the police as a vigilante committee.

“It is Sata himself who supports anarchy. We know that his bodyguards are the ones who are harassing member of Parliament Mrs Faustina Sinyangwe and those PF members who were beaten at a press briefing recently. One of his bodyguards George Zulu has been released from police custody in connection with the same beating of those other PF members,” he charged.

Mr Tetamashimba, who is also minister of Local Government and Housing, accused Mr Sata of lacking integrity as he (Sata) was allegedly protected by thugs as his bodyguards.

“What integrity does Mr Sata have when he can watch his party members being beaten by fellow cadres without stopping them? When those PF members were picked from a hotel where they held a press briefing, they were taken to the party secretariat where his bodyguards continued beating them, but Sata never protected them,” Mr Tetamashimba charged.

In Saturday’s issue of The Post Mr Sata was quoted as saying that the police were now a vigilante committee of the ruling MMD, which is being used to harass and intimidate journalists from The Post.

Mr Sata was commenting on the warn and caution statement recorded by the police from The Post news editor Chansa Kabwela on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Mr Tetamashimba has told United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema, to stop commenting on the procurement of hearses.[quote]

He was reacting to Mr Hichilema’s accusations in The Post newspaper yesterday that he (Tetamashimba) was inconsistent on the issue of hearses.

“I want to tell Hakainde to shut up. He is an accountant and he should understand the auditor’s report. He is making noise. He should shut up. He has no integrity. He should not comment on the issue of hearses like that. I still appeal to the Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate the issue of hearses,” Mr Tetamashimba said.

He accused Mr Hichilema of benefiting from the process of privatisation at the expense of Zambians when he was he was engaged as a liquidator.

And Mr Tetamashimba has said that MMD member Willa Mung’omba should abide by the party’s national executive committee NEC decision that endorsed President Banda as the sole candidate at the convention.

“Mr Mung’omba should not behave like he is a member of the opposition. He must support the decision by NEC for endorsing President Rupiah Banda. The PF have never had a convention and nobody has complained about that. Mr Mung’omba lost elections in the party and he should not now act like he is in the opposition. He is an MMD member,” Mr Tetamashimba said.

On Saturday Mr Mung’omba advised the party, through The Post, to allow President Banda to be challenged at the convention.

And the Chief Government spokesperson, Lieutenant General Ronnie Shikapwasha says the MMD is a democratic party that would not bar anyone from challenging President Rupiah Banda at the party convention.

He said in an interview yesterday that the decision by the NEC was to endorse President Banda as a sole candidate but that anyone who feels he could challenge Mr Banda could do so at the convention.

He says he could not recall a day and time when the NEC or MMD barred people from challenging the President at the convention.

“It would be very wrong for someone to conclude or say that MMD is not democratic,” Gen. Shikapwasha said.

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might” (Ecclesiastes 9:10a, NAS)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

David was a man of excellence. The Bible tells us that David played his harp “skillfully.” He didn’t just play it, he played it with excellence. When he slung the stone that defeated Goliath, it wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t just a lucky break. David had practiced the slingshot year after year out in the shepherd’s fields. He was extremely talented with that slingshot. Some experts say he could hit a small bull’s eye more than 100 feet away!

In the same way, if we want to see God’s hand of promotion, we need to live excellently. In this day and age, if you’re not growing, then you’re at a disadvantage. If you’re at the same skill level this year as you were five years ago, then you are falling behind. It’s time to step it up a notch. Whatever you are doing, do it with all your might! Don’t get complacent. Keep growing; keep learning; keep improving. As you do your best to live excellently, God will bless the fruit of your labor. He’ll pour out His “super” on your natural and cause you to rise up higher into the life of victory He has in store for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, I choose to live in excellence. I want to bring You glory in all that I do. Thank You for promoting me as I dedicate every area of my life to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Govt gave K1m each to wrong ‘disabled persons’

Disabled people camped outside the ministry of community development and social services

The Zambia Disability HIV and AIDS Human Rights Programme says many people who were given the K1 million by government yesterday were not the real beneficiaries.

The Organisation has predicted that the disabled will again go back to the Ministry of Community Development and Social Services with force to demand their terminal benefits.

Organisation Programme Director, Elijah Ngwale said many people who benefited from the money were beggars from the streets of Lusaka who took advantage of the protest to demand cash from government.

Mr Ngwale told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka today that genuine people will now be forced to go back to the minister to demand their dues after their friends were given by the minister yesterday.

He has meanwhile commended government for giving people with disabilities money, but advised the state to use a good channel in settling scores with the disabled next time.

He said government should have used a better way of paying the disabled rather than giving without record, adding that this made many people to infuse themselves.

Mr Ngwale said the people who had previously demonstrated wanted the terminal benefits they worked for but government instead gave the wrong people.

He has since called on government to form a task force that would be dealing with cross-cutting issues concerning persons with disabilities in the country.

He further suggested that the same task force should also help to revamp the Zambia Agency for Persons with Disability (ZAPD) and look at retirement packages for persons with disabilities.

Mr Ngwale has further appealed to parliament to ratify the convention on the rights of persons with disabilities which was signed in 2007 but has remained untouched since then.

He said this will help address the many challenges persons with disabilities are facing in the country.

Government yesterday gave K1 million each to persons with disabilities who on Tuesday demonstrated at State house.

President Rupiah Banda said he will not dismiss the health

workers who defied the directive but they will not be paid for the month of June in which they did not work.

Speaking in Ndola today President Banda said he has pardoned the health workers who did not report for work after government gave them an ultimatum to report for work on Monday last week or face dismissal.

He said paying them will make them repeat going on such illegal strikes.

Mr Banda said he has pardoned the health workers because he understands that they have families to look after.

The President urged the workers not to listen to politicians who encourage them to go on strike as it was not the best way of resolving their grievances.

He also condemned labour union leaders who encourage workers to go on strike because such actions will not help build the country.

President Banda noted that it was regrettable that many lives were lost during the strike by the health workers.

Health workers went on strike for the whole month of June demanding improved conditions of service.

They have since called off their strike following government’s assurance that it will attend to their demands.
