Defence forces not spared by HIV/AIDS

editor

The Ministry of Defence has launched an HIV/AIDS policy for the defence forces which provides guidelines on how best to continue defending the nation despite the ravages of HIV/AIDS on the military personnel.

The policy caters for the Zambia Army, Zambia Air Force (ZAF), and the Zambia National Service (ZNS).

Launching the policy at Mulungushi International Conference Centre (MICC) in Lusaka today, Defence Deputy Minister Elijah Muchima observed that military personnel were more vulnerable to contracting HIV because of the nature of their job.

The military carry out duties that demand high geographical mobility in adventurous environments with long periods of absence from their homes, thereby increasing circumstances in which they can contract and transmit HIV.

Mr. Muchima said such an exposure would have negative effects on the Zambia Defence Forces’ combat preparedness if left unchecked.

He said combat preparedness in the military depended on the mental and physical fitness of the combatants, which he said could only be achieved if health standards among military personnel were not compromised.

“The impact of HIV and AIDS is felt more in the military than any other organisation because it is dependent on Zambian youths and citizens for its personnel,” he said.

Mr. Muchima hoped that the HIV/AIDS policy that has just been launched would provide a suitable environment for the military to achieve desired results.

The policy provides the framework for addressing the HIV, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and tuberculosis (TB) situations in the military and outlines causes and factors that perpetuate transmission, including the debilitating effect on the Zambian defence force personnel and their families.

The policy further outlines workable interventions against HIV/AIDS at work places in operational areas such as peace keeping missions abroad and cantonment in general.

The Deputy Minister said the policy was well designed as it gave a lot of attention to areas such as care, prevention and support on people that were affected.

He thanked cooperating partners who provided various forms of support in formulating the Zambia Defence Forces HIV/AIDS policy.

Earlier, Ministry of Defence Permanent Secretary, Medson Lisati said the HIV/AIDS pandemic has heavily reduced work forces and reversed many years of economic and social progress in the country.

Mr. Lisati said the military personnel have not been spared by the pandemic hence the need to put up measures that would address the effects of HIV/AIDS.

“A lot of military personnel have died from HIV and AIDS related conditions in the last three decades,” he noted.

Zambia recorded the first case of HIV/AIDS in the early 1980s. Today, the pandemic has become a major challenge to both the public health and social economic development of the country.

Currently, about 14 per cent of the country’s adult population, which is between the ages of 15 years and 49 years, is infected with HIV, of which 18 per cent are female while 13 per cent are male.

Professor Lungwangwa said the Technical Committee has been tasked to device various mechanisms that will help the higher learning institutions to become stable from unnecessary closures.

The Education Minister was responding to a oral and answer question raised by Nchanga area Member of Parliament Charles Chimumbwa (PF) who wanted to know if government had intentions of coming up with deliberate measures to address educational impasses at the country’s higher learning institutions.

Professor Lungwangwa further disclosed that government had completed auditing the University of Zambia (UNZA) which he said would also help in resolving some of the problems facing the institutions.

He however said that government through his ministry was concerned with the behaviour some students were exhibiting which he said was contributing to educational instability at the high learning institutions.

Professor Lungwangwa further called on the opposition political parties to come onboard and complement government efforts in addressing problems facing the higher learning institutions instead of using Universities as political battlefields.

Soocer fans have praised Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC ) for its live transmission of the on going 2008 Beijing Olympics in China.

ZANIS Sports reports Zambia Volunteer Soccer fans Association (ZAVOSOFA )patron Peter Makembo saying his association really commends the corporation for the live transmission.

” As soccer fans, we are commending ZNBC for the live transmission for the Beijing games. This is as it should be, ” said Pastor Makembo.

He noted that the T.V license fees being paid by most Zambians were now manifesting as most television viewers in Zambia are able to watch the games live.

Makembo explained that most Zambians have no access to pay televisions stations to watch the games, but with the national broadcaster’s deliberate move, people are are to watch the games live.

He said the nation was witnessing a new era in ZNBC management.

“It is our plea that this continues for the corporation to provide Zambians television services, ” said the ZAVOSOFA patron.

The soccer fans have urged members of the general public to continue paying T.V licenses to enable the corporation to improve its services.

Meanwhile, Zambian boxing authorities have expressed disappointment at the poor performance of the country’s boxers at the Beijing Olympics.

“It is unfortunate that our boxers have been knocked out. As an association, we put in all we can to prepare the boxers,” Zambia Amateur Boxing Association (ZAMA) president Steve Simpemba told Xinhua in an interview in Beijing Tuesday.

He said the association would now go back to the drawing board to see what went wrong and start preparing for the All-Africa Games which Zambia will host in 2011.

“We are going to start identifying young boxers whom we intend to groom for the 2011 All Africa Games,” he said.

The official said Bwalya, who is also an African champion, lost the match because of being too over-confident while Makina lost because he had too little time to prepare. He was only called up two weeks before the start of the games to replace a Kenyan-based boxer who was injured.

Zambia sent three boxers at this year’s Olympics but all of them have been booted out in the preliminary rounds.

Zambia’s medal hopeful, Hastings Bwalya was eliminated in the light weighterweight category after losing 12-8 to Mongolia’s Munkh-Erdee Uranchimeg while welterweight Precious Makina was defeated 21-4 by Hanati Silamu of China.

The other boxer, flyweight Cassius Chiyanika was defeated Tuesday by Italy’s Vincenzo Picardi.

With the knocking out of the boxers and the country’s badminton representative Eli Mambwe, thehope now lies in swimmers Ellen Hight and Zane Jordan, both competing in the 50-meter freestyle and runners Rachel Nachula (400 m) and Tony Wamulwa (5,000m).

Government has been challenged to consider contracting the Nitropgen Chemicals of Zambia, NCZ, for fertiliser production following the increase in budgetary allocation for the fertiliser support programme.

The opposition Forum for Democracy and Development, FDD, in Lusaka is of the view that the measure could help improve operations at the company.

Mr Musemuna welcomed the increase in the budgetary allocation for fertiliser support programme and hoped that more farmers would access the inputs on time.

Mr Musemuna said whilst workers and residents in Kafue are happy with the release of the K28 billion for retires and K4 billion for workers salary arears, there is need for more practical measures of sustaining operations at the company.

He also urged government to consider increasing the number of beneficiaries under the FSP this year.

Government last year spent over K122 million on various programs and interventions aimed at preparing the Zambian national governing council towards the implementation of the African Peer Review Mechanism, APRM.

Justice Minister, George Kunda, said various programs among others, an APRM national brainstorming meeting and a seminar for Members of Parliament was held to equip the various stakeholders with skills prior to the implementation of the APRM.

Mr Kunda said this in parliament today in response to a question raised by Kabwata Patriotic Front Member of Parliament, Given Lubinda, who wanted to know how much government has spent towards the implementation of the APRM since 2006.

He noted that in 2006, government did not allocate any funds for the APRM while this year K10 billion has been earmarked.

Mr Kunda also refuted reports that Zambia has the biggest number of staff in the APRM national governing council in the region.

“Zambia has only a staff size of 48 in the governing council but we have information another country in the region has 90. So it is not true that we have the biggest number,” Mr Kunda said.

He said this in response to a follow up question raised by Mr Lubinda, on whether Zambia had the biggest number of personnel in the APRM governing council.

Government has embarked on a programme to increase the housing stock for health workers in order to address the housing shortage.

Ministry of Health Spokesperson, Canicious Banda, told ZANIS in an interview today that government is seeking a long term measure of empowering health workers with decent housing.

Dr. Banda said the solution to the housing problem would enable health workers in the country rent decent housing as well as build their own housing units.

He said the programme, which is already underway in rural areas, will soon be extended to urban areas with a focus on newly qualified doctors who may need to stay within hospital premises.

On the strike at the University Teaching Hospital, UTH, in Lusaka, Dr. Banda said the demands for increased housing allowances for workers, should be effectively addressed through the engagement of unions and governments for negotiations.

Dr. Banda explained the ministry of health would wait for the bargaining process on workers wages, including housing allowances, between the unions and government later this year.

He said government and unions engage in negotiations every year, during which consideration for possible increment to the housing allowances for workers is made.

Farmers in Chipata district have expressed fears that the continuous increment in fuel prices will affect agriculture production in the 2008 and 2009 farming season.

Chipata district Farmers Association Virgil Malambo complained that the cost of production would increase and negatively affect the farmers who have no control over the market prices of their produce.

Mr. Malambo told ZANIS in interview that buyers of market produce would be offering low prices because of the transportation costs that they will have to take into account.

Meanwhile, an agricultural supplier in Chipata has said the increment in fuel prices would affect the supply of agricultural inputs to farmers in the district.

Managing director at Sheni Agricultural Suppliers, Yusuf Patel said all prices would increase adding that farmers may not be able to cater for both transport and procurement of their inputs.

Mr. Patel said it would be costly for the farmers to purchase requirements for their production especially that most of them did not have enough yields in the last farming season.

“Farming will be an expensive venture, we anticipate all prices to go up and farmers may find it difficult to cover those expenses,” he said.

In another development, the business community in Chipata district has called on government to reduce tax on petroleum products to reduce the price of fuel in the country.

Eastern Province Petroleum Filling Station Managing Director, Salim valley said the increment in fuel prices would affect the prices of all the basic needs of people in the country.

Court Grants Charging of Masebo for Contempt

editor
-
33

THE Livingstone High Court has granted an application by lawyers representing Tandabale Marketeers Co-operative Society to commence contempt of court proceedings against Minister of Local Government and Housing, Sylvia Masebo for allegedly willfully disregarding a court order.

The lawyers had applied for leave to issue an order of committal of contempt of court against Ms Masebo for allegedly willfully disregarding an injunction granted by the court on June 12, 2008.

This is in a case in which the Livingstone High Court granted an injunction against the Livingstone City Council, which had ordered the Tandabale marketeers to vacate their premises within 24 hours.

The court granted the injunction on June 12, 2008 restraining anyone from interfering, disrupting or destroying the Tandabale business premises or any property or properties belonging to them.

However, when Ms Masebo visited the market on July 22, 2008, she ignored the court injunction and gave the marketeers a 24-hour ultimatum in which to vacate the market.

She said she was coming in as minister and had nothing to do with the order of interim injunction which was granted to the marketeers by the court.

In their submission, Mak Partners, who are representing the marketeers argued that there was an attempt by Ms Masebo to use the State Proceedings Act as an excuse to disobey court orders at will.

The lawyers stated that should the court allow the excuses under the cover of the State Proceedings Act, the court would be setting a dangerous precedent where public officers under the cover of the Act, would disobey court orders at will.

They urged the court to grant their application to commence contempt of court proceedings against Ms Masebo.

In response, the Solicitor General, Dominic Sichinga, however, maintained that Ms Masebo was a public officer, and her powers were not tied to those of the council and could not be gagged by the injunction and that the council was merely an agent while she, as minister, was the principal.

Mr Sichinga stated that Ms Masebo was acting for the purpose of good order, for the public good and for purposes of following the law and she did not willfully disregard the court order and asked the court to dismiss the application by the marketeers’ lawyers.

In passing ruling in the Livingstone High Court chambers yesterday, Justice Elizabeth Muyovwe said that the proceedings were outside the State Proceedings Act because the action was against the defendant, which was a local authority.

She argued that the submission by the solicitor general’s office that Ms Masebo, as minister, could not be gagged by the injunction, was misconceived and if acceded to, could cause confusion and allow anarchy.

“The proper position is that an order of the court, such as the one made on June 12, 2008 is to be respected by all including public officers. This is why the order covers the defendant and their agents, servants or whosoever,” Justice Muyovwe said.

“As I have stated, an order of the court must be respected by all and the claim by the minister that the injunction does not apply to her is a misconception.

“It appears the minister, on seeing that the defendant failed to move the plaintiffs from the trading area, following the order made by the court, decided to use her ministerial powers to take the very action which the court had restrained the council, its agents, servants or whosoever not to take.

“This is unacceptable and amounts to interfering with court proceedings and shows a willful disregard of the court injunction,” Justice Muyovwe said.

She explained that if the situation like that would be allowed, it would cause injustice and render any injunction null and void as public officers would disregard court injunctions and court orders under the guise of the State Proceedings Act.

“I do not believe that the State Proceedings Act was meant to protect public officers who decide to willfully disobey or disregard court orders. The minister should have allowed the law to take its course. She knew that the matter was in court hence the reason why she should have exercised restraint and caution in the manner in which she involved herself,” she said.

“I grant the application by the plaintiffs and I grant leave to the plaintiffs to apply for committal proceedings against Hon. Sylvia Masebo. Costs to the plaintiffs to be taxed in default of agreement,” Justice Muyovwe said.

In another ruling on an application by the State for non-joinder of a party, Justice Muyovwe denied the application by the State to be joined as a party in the matter.

The solicitor general’s office had applied to allow the State to be involved in the case as the matter had wide public interest and that it would be in the interest of justice for the State to be joined as a party and that if the State is involved, it will not prejudice the parties.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs urged the court to dismiss the application urging the State to declare its interest in the case as the case was a civil one. The lawyers accused the State of wanting to derail justice.

“The State wants to be joined to these proceedings in order to use the State Proceedings Act to its advantage. The action is against Livingstone City Council, which is capable of defending itself and does not need the help of the State. The State cannot get involved in arguments over the injunction as they are not party to the proceedings,” Justice Muyovwe said.
