Science and technology minister Felix Mutati writes. .

Good morning friends,

Sometime last month, we did put it on record that the days of fraudsters and scammers in this country are number as the law will soon catch up with them. And at the time of unveiling the new ZICTA board a few days ago, my expectations from them was simply to see a ZICTA, that builds a war against cyber crimes, a war that will lead not only to issuance of many statements on cyber crimes but to arrests of all criminal elements behind these scams.

Through the National Cyber Security Task Force comprising ZICTA and the police, twenty (20) suspects have been apprehended in connection with the sending of unauthorized electronic messages to members of the public. The messages comprised offers of social cash transfer funds, magic money, mobile money cash reversals and employment opportunities in the civil service.

Investigations with technical support from ZICTA using a geo locator (live tracking van) indicated that senders of the unsolicited messages were based in Nchelenge, Luapula Province where the twenty suspects were apprehended from in an operation.

All suspects aged between 15 and 27 are currently detained in police custody after they were transferred to Mansa, Luapula Division Headquarters where they have been charged with several counts of unsolicited electronic messages contrary to section 62 of the cyber security and cyber crimes act No.2 of 2021.

Fifteen (15) cellphones with unsolicited messages sent to members of the public have since been recovered and subjected to forensic examination.

What is sad is that among the arrested are boys aged 15 and 17years, a clear sign that these fraudsters are recruiting children and we should all rise and fight this growing scourge.

I wish to call upon members of the public to make effective use of the ZICTA short code *707 # whenever they receive unsolicited messages so that more arrests are made.

STAMPEDE OVER JOBS LEAVES 12 INJURED IN SOLWEZI

By Dante Bwalya

Twelve people have been injured in a stampede at the Zambia Correctional Service Solwezi regional offices, when hundreds of youths turned up for job interviews.

The incident has resulted in the admission of three people to Solwezi General Hospital for treatment, while nine have been discharged after having received treatment.

According to Solwezi General Hospital Medical Superintendent, Dr. Kikanda Sondashi, most of the victims sustained minor injuries.

Eyewitness accounts gathered by Diamond News reveal that the ordeal was triggered by desperate youths in the group that wanted to be ahead of others to attend interviews hence the occurrence of the stampede.

Following the chaotic scenes, some concerned citizens have since urged government to decentralize the process to avoid the reoccurrence of such an incident that nearly took lives.

The recent recruitment in the Zambia Army and Zambia Airforce also experienced record numbers of young applicants desperate to seek employment in the Ministry of Defense as well as in the Zambia Correctional Service under Ministry of Home Affairs.

FORMER BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT LULA DA SILVA BOUNCES BACK TO POWER

Brazil has taken a turn to the left as former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva beat far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro in the presidential election.

After a divisive campaign which saw two bitter rivals on opposite sides of the political spectrum go head to head, Lula won 50.9% of the votes.

It was enough to beat Jair Bolsonaro, whose supporters had been confident of victory.

But the division which this election has highlighted is unlikely to vanish.

It is a stunning comeback for a politician who could not run in the last presidential election in 2018 because he was in jail and banned from standing for office.

He had been found guilty of receiving a bribe from a Brazilian construction firm in return for contracts with Brazil's state oil company Petrobras.

Lula spent 580 days in jail before his conviction was annulled and he returned to the political fray.

"They tried to bury me alive and here I am," he said, kicking off his victory speech

Summary:

-77 years old

-Left-wing

-Former metal worker

-President from 2003-2010

-Imprisoned in 2018 but conviction was later thrown out.

Forgive me that I’m not seen, MP tells people from his constituency!

Chipata Central member of parliament Reuben Mtolo has asked for forgiveness from the people in his constituency because he is rarely seen due to the nature of his job as agriculture minister.
Featuring on Breeze FM’s political hour programme on Sunday night, Mtolo said he is committed to serving the people in his constituency.
“I want to thank the people of Chipata. You should have hope. Yes there is a difference between last time (when I was a mere MP) I was staying here in Chipata but now as a minister I don’t stay in Chipata but in Lusaka. There is a difference here. Forgive me that I am not seen, but you will notice that I have formed groups that are representing me here,” he explained. “I would like to thank my colleagues who represent me here. I will start with the chairperson for UPND, the chairperson for MDC, and the members of the Mtolo Development Committee.”
Mtolo said he is well represented by the development committee.
“I cannot be in two places at once, but I am over the place. I am in Mongu, I am in Kalabo. Agriculture is a big issue. Allow me to work for Zambia so that the education which you gave me can also benefit the entire country,” he said. “Let me thank the people of Chipata for believing in me even if I am not seen but things are moving. A good example is the Chizongwe-Walela road that has not been worked on for a long time. This road was embarrassing for a long time but we are working on it. I am in Lusaka but I am pushing files through my colleagues.”
Mtolo said the Chipata-Magwero road would soon be worked on.
“After Magwero road we are going to move to Msoro road. Once more to the people of Chipata, your Reuben Mtolo has not changed. He is not seen but he is still the same person who is determined to do things in the right manner. No CDF money will be abused. Anyone who will steal CDF will be arrested,” he warned. “Let us do things in an orderly manner. Let us love eac
