Court Orders Forfeiture of Charity Katanga's Buses and Funds

The Lusaka Magistrate Court has ordered the forfeiture of ten Higer buses and funds from Chibeka Express Limited, linked to former Deputy Inspector General of Police Ms. Charity Katanga, to the State. This decision follows a Conviction-Based Forfeiture application by the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC), which identified these assets as proceeds of crime. The ruling aligns with Section 10 of the Forfeiture of Proceeds of Crime Act No. 19 of 2010.

Ms. Katanga, along with unidentified accomplices, allegedly acquired these assets between January 1, 2017, and June 6, 2022. The court's decision highlights the commitment of the Zambian Criminal Justice System to address economic and financial crimes, demonstrating effective inter-agency collaboration among Law Enforcement Agencies and the National Prosecution Authority (NPA).

The DEC reaffirmed its dedication to holding individuals accountable for criminal activities and reclaiming illicit assets for the public benefit.

Political Advert.

Paid off Advert.

Kitwe Mayoral aspirant, Mr. CHAMBALA MAZIMBA, has continued giving off steam with a calm attitude and practically displaying qualities and maturity in a leader, unlike some jokes and casualties witnessed around the space, in the name of aspiring for the city mayor in the Kitwe District.

MAZIMBA works both hard and smart and looks at things positively with serious approach.

It's on the UPND ticket that MAZIMBA wishes to stand and so far so good, the name is making some good calm noise.

'' I think it's time to get started. The people out there are waiting and talking about the same,'' MAZIMBA says.

The Kitwe mayoral race aspirant has on its turf, Charles Kabwita and Nicholas Mwansa.

Mazimba appears to have more followers so far and is headed for higher numbers if he plays cards well.

POLITICAL PARTIES,NGO CONDEMN LUNGU'S COMMENTS
Some political parties and Non Governmental Organizations have expressed disappointment with former President EDGAR LUNGU's call for early elections.

UPND Consultant MARK SIMUUWE says politicians should not incite citizens to remove a democratically elected government from office.

In a statement released to ZNBC News in Lusaka, Mr. SIMUUWE said the country expects the opposition to offer credible checks and balances to the government.

Meanwhile, Movement for Multiparty Democracy-MMD-Acting Chief Spokesperson BRENDEL PHILLIPS said it fully condemns Mr. LUNGU's statement because the current government is trying its best to grow the economy.

And Foundation for Democratic Process-FODEP- President MUMBUNA MWENDA said former President LUNGU should explain to Zambians what he wants to do that he failed to do in the 7 years he was given.

And Burning Bushes Ministry Overseer STEVEN NKHATA said it is unfortunate that the opposition have turned a house of prayer into a place of politics.

BREAKING NEWS:

RAPHAEL NAKACINDA SENTENCED TO 18 MONTHS IN JAIL FOR JUDICIARY REMARKS

In a significant legal development, Raphael Nakacinda, the Secretary General of the PF party led by former President Edgar Lungu, has been sentenced to 18 months in jail by the Lusaka Magistrates Court for his inflammatory remarks regarding the judiciary.

The ruling, delivered this morning, comes as a direct consequence of Nakacinda's attempt to implicate President Hakainde Hichilema in purported clandestine meetings with judges, allegedly aimed at influencing judicial outcomes.

However, Nakacinda failed to provide substantial evidence to support these claims during court proceedings.

Nakacinda's sentence serves as a warning to politicians and public figures against making baseless allegations that could undermine public trust in the judiciary and erode the rule of law.

K100 million Eurobond vanishes without trace.

THE Auditor-General’s report has revealed that K100 million which was drawn from the US$1.25 billion third Eurobond account and deposited into Control 99 for budget support has remained unaccounted for.

Zambia obtained US$750 million Eurobond in 2012, US$1 billion in 2014 and US$1.25 billion in 2015.

The Auditor-General’s report also noted that no tangible investments were done with the Eurobonds that the country obtained.

In 2020, Zambia became the first country to default on its debt leading to a debt-restructuring programme with its lenders, including bilateral creditors.

ZESCO signs PPA with Sky Power Global.

ZESCO has signed a 1000 mega watt Solar Power Purchase Agreement- PPA- with Sky Power Global of the United Arab Emirates.

The Agreement is a key component of Zambia's integrated renewable energy plan designed to enhance the country's capacity to support sustainable growth.

And President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA has emphasised the strategic importance of the imitative.

President HICHILEMA says the Green Giant Zambia Project is a crucial component of the country's integrated renewable plan especially in the context of the current drought.

He further says the initiative will substantially increase renewable capacity to address current and future energy needs as Zambia aims to increase industrial productivity and fulfill its aspiration to attain over three million metric tonnes of annual copper production.

President HICHILEMA said this through his Special Assistant for Economic, Financial, Investment and Development JITO KAYUMBA.

And during the ceremony, Skypower Special Advisor and Country Manager, MICHAEL PREST said the Green Giant Zambia initiative is a monumental step towards a sustainable future.

Skypower Global Group of Companies Founder, KELLY ADLER said the project will create Jobs and sustainable infrastructure that will benefit generations.

Meanwhile, ZESCO Managing Director, VICTOR MAPANI said the agreement with Skypower Global is testament of the company's commitment to transforming Zambia into a hub of renewable energy in Zambia.

The Green Giant Zambia Project is set to supply electricity to about FOUR Million Homes and Stimulate considerable job creation and infrastructure development.

This is according to a statement issued to ZNBC News by Special Assistant to the President for Economic, Financial, Investment and Development JITO KAYUMBA.

How can a country develop like this?
How can you have cheaper fuel like this?

A special audit report on Zambia's procurement of petroleum products, between 2019 and 2022, has revealed financial irregularities totaling over $1.3 billion.

The report reveals potential fraud involving irregular payments to suppliers of over 36 million dollars, due to inflated invoices.

The report which covers the period January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022 further revealed wasteful expenditure of over 40 million dollars, in legal and arbitration fees, which arose from questionable decisions made by then government officials.

Other notable audit findings include failure to pay suppliers of petroleum products in amounts totaling over $898m.

This is according to a statement made available today by Head of Public Relations at the office of the Auditor-General, ELLEN CHIKALE.

Acting Auditor-General, RON MWAMBWA has advised the Ministry of Energy to submit petroleum procurement plans to the Zambia Public Procurement Authority, in line with the Public Procurement Act to avoid uncompetitive and emergency procurements.

Where Does a Political Career Start?

One career field that will be here forever is politics. Elected officials include senators, congressmen and congresswomen, governors, state legislators and numerous county and city politicians.

All of them have staffers and campaigners, and they are covered by analysts, reporters and consultants.
There are career opportunities at every level and in all parts of the country. If you wish to launch your career, it is an easy field to enter.

Get Started
Before you launch your career in politics, you need to decide on your objectives. You may aspire to report on political developments, work as a staffer or run for office yourself. If you are still in school, majoring in political science can give you insight into the direction you will take upon graduation. Courses in statistics and research methods will prepare you for polling and analysis. If you can qualify for an internship while in school, you will see firsthandhow the system works and where you might fit.

Join an Organization
Regardless of your political slant, you can find a political organization or special interestgroup compatible with your views. When you join an organization, be an active participant. Be active on Facebook and Twitter and network with as many people as you can.

If you join a local political group, there will be plenty of volunteer opportunities such as neighborhood canvassing, staffing the headquarters, making phone calls – political organizations are exempt from the do-not-call registry – stuffing mailers and voter registration drives. Do not be discouraged if you spend a lot of time doing mundane tasks. Everyone starts that way.

Work for a Candidate.
Working for a candidate – as opposed to working for the party or another organization –is another way to break into politics. As a campaign worker, you can put your skills to work. If you are a good writer, you can help write speeches, press releases and policy statements.
Conducting research is anothercampaign role, not only researching issues, but also learning all you can about the opponent and his campaign. And if your candidate gets elected, she will need an assistant to help with correspondence, scheduling meetings and events, and to be a liaison with other government officials and influential members of the community.

Run for Office.
After you have gotten a feel for the political process, you might consider running for office yourself. Start with a position in your political organization or a municipal or county position. If you have built a good network of like-minded friends, enlist their support. Nothing works in politics like personal contacts.

That means knocking on doors,mailing handwritten postcards and making personal phone calls. And if you lose your first time or two, do not be discouraged. Learn from your mistakes and move on.
We shall do politics in 2026.

PRESIDENT HAKAINDE HICHILEMA IS AN EXCEPTIONAL LEADER ZAMBIA HAS EVER HAD*

Since 1964, Zambia has had presidents with their leadership attributes in relation to how they desired to rule the country, but the incumbent President of Zambia Mr Hakainde Hichilema is an exceptional leader whose style of leading is unprecedented due to his fully focused mind of putting people's interests first in improving their livelihoods.

He is the most brutalized politician in Zambia having been arrested 15 times including a treason tramped-up charge, which made him locked up at Lilayi Police College in a tiny dirty room, Lusaka Central Prison and eventually Mukobeko Maximum Prison even though he wasn't convicted.

In all these home affairs facilities, Zambia's political man of valour with an impeccable character spent 127 days for not committing a crime but forgave the former tin-pot dictator Edgar Chagwa Lungu the friend to lucifer who masterminded the heinous act.

President Hichilema continued to stand up for the oppressed Zambians and they gave him a landslide victory sweeping through cosmopolitan Copperbelt and Lusaka provinces including all the corners of the nation and won by over one million votes.

The New Dawn Administration has done something unprecedented in two years of been in government since 1964. Apart from the free education and enhanced Agriculture Comprehensive Programme, President Hichilema employed more than 30,000 teachers which by far has surpassed all preceding governments in education sector employing.

More than 11,000 health workers, security and defence personnel officers employed and are still been employed in huge numbers; as of yesterday about 1,500 Zambia National Service soldiers passed out.

All retirees have been paid off, evidence is there as no retired worker is camping at the ministry of Justice as it was during the clique of thieves rule.

Consider TAZARA which had problems on the Zambian side as workers would go without salaries for months, but President Hichilema harmonized the situation.

Equalisation fund is disbursed to all the 116 district councils and it is only where their is poor management were workers are not being paid on time but salaries are available every month unlike during the rule of lucifer's friend who never disbursed these funds.

Every marketeer in Zambia has benefitted from the booster loans which were only given to cadres between 2015 and 2021.

NAPSA partial pension 20% withdrawal, something unheard of but President Hichilema in his love for the people of Zambia, allowed them to take part of the money they have been contributing and participate in advancing our economy.

He repelled the law on defamation of the president when others were busy trying hard to have Bill 10 passed as law, so that they may stiffle citizen's rights further, extend the presidential tenure for nothing, dethrone chiefs who were not in support with their folly and give their land to the Chinese.

This same Bally reintroduced meal allowances for students in universities which was done away with by nicompoomps who do not value the wellbeing of others as long as they take their Jameson.

For the first in Zambia we have a balanced cabinet with 9 members coming from one region where the PF played their evil tribal politics from to discredit President Hichilema and the UPND.

The opposition in Zambia currently have all the freedoms even others like Harry Kalaba telling the president to wake up.

Wake up from what?

All this is unprecedented as President Hichilema has ensured that normalcy has returned in the governance system as the rule of law is functional and whoever crosses paths with it will dance to its tune.

President Hichilema is an asset to the nation, he needs the continuous people's support just like how they supported him in 2021.

People who mean well should be able to defend him when wolves rise to talk mischief against the economy he is rebuilding and the democracy he has enhanced and promoted since he became head of State.

LOOK FORWARD

For as along you keep looking at what gives you pain, it will keep on growing.
You stand in front of your office that's threw you out and you meditate on that office and the pain continues to increase, breaks your spirit.

The Bible says no man indefinitely bear a wounded Spirit. As wounded Spirit is like hemorrhage as you continue to bleed you die.

Thats why People dies slowly amd we say thy died of headache No, thu die cos of losing joy.

Cholera volunteers to pick appointment letters on Monday!

SOME medics who volunteered their services in the frontline as Zambia battled one of the worst cholera outbreaks in recent memory will receive the employment letters from government on Monday.

The Civil Service Commission announced today that 314 names of successful volunteers will be published in the media tomorrow.

The commission has also announced that the successful candidates should begin collecting their appointment letters on Monday.

Speaking during a press briefing today, the Commission Chairperson, Dr Choolwe Beyani said that the 314 positions that have been identified after the commission, working with the Ministry of Health and the Public Service Management Division, identified vacant positions that were created through natural attrition, of demises, retirements, promotions and dismissals among others.

Currently, and following thorough validation process to ensure that no volunteer was omitted and as well as ensuring that only volunteers were shortlisted, the Commission has managed to identify 853 validated health professional volunteers in Cholera Centers country wide.

Among the few recruited positions are, 95 Junior resident medical officers,100 registered Nurses, 28 Clinical Officers General, 46 Environmental Health Technicians, 15 Medical Laboratory Technicians, 6 Pharmacy Technologists, 19 Public Health Nurses, four Bio-Medical Scientists; and one Pharmacist so far, bringing the total to 314 against the total number of 853 Volunteers.

The Commission has proceeded to appoint the 314 health workers as phase one of the process. This will continue in a phased approach until all the volunteers have been absorbed.

And for the General workers volunteers, Dr Beyani said that the process to validate them is still on-going, and once completed, their names will be equally published in two phases too.

“We want to ensure that all volunteers are indeed shortlisted because they did their job only for the love of mankind, risked their health to save others despite the fact that no reward in form of a salary or allowance was expected at the time,” said Dr. Beyani.

To add on the good news, Dr Bayani further announced that the names of the successful candidates of the Phase one recruitment of the Cholera volunteers will be published tomorrow through the Times of Zambia, The Zambia Daily Mail and the News Diggers as well as on the Civil Service Commission and the Ministry of Health Websites and the pages, and also, at the Heroes Stadium.

He added that those appearing on the list should collect their appointment letters at the Public Service Management Division (PSMD) Offices starting on Monday, 11th March, 2024.

“Secondly, the successful candidates should collect their appointment letters starting on Monday, 11th March, 2024 at PSMD, from 09:00hrs and must present their original National Registration Cards and original academic and professional qualifications for ease of identification. I appeal for patience as the Commission is working round the clock to ensure that all the volunteers are absorbed into the Civil Service,” said Dr Beyani....https://kalemba.news/health/2024/03/06/cholera-volunteers-to-pick-appointment-letters-on-monday/.
