PRESS STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The matter regarding the purchase of 156 Ambulances under Constituency Development Funds-CDF, worth 13 million US Dollars by the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, Ministry of Health and ZAMMSA is total disgrace.

Firstly, we wonder as to why the three named institutions opted to use Direct or Limited process instead of Public Tender Process to pick ACE Pharmaceuticals and Aqueous as suppliers. Under normal circumstances, Selective or Direct Bidding is provided for if goods or services required have one or limited supplier or are under emergency circumstances.

Secondly, we have official manufacturers or accredited franchise dealers such as Toyota Landcruisers or Toyota Zambia who should have been considered, instead of the two named Indian owned Companies which could not even guarantee after-sale-service

Apparently, the failure to deliver all the 156 Ambulances by these third party middlemen even after the procurement process was completed one year down the line is a clear indication that there was no due diligence or serious assessment on their financial status before contracts were given out by the selecting team. That's why only 11 out of 156 Ambulances ordered have been delivered so far. The idea of extending the delivery period of these Ambulances is but a sheer waste of time and infact there is no guarantee that the two contractors are still ready to service the contract, especially after all these concerns coming from the public.

As Governance Experts and indeed Zambian citizens, we shall be failing in our duties if we bury our heads in the sand and continue clapping for wrong things in the Governance system. We have a duty to protect public resources by ensuring that we hold those mandated to run the national affairs accountable.

Therefore we appeal to all investigative wings to take keen interest in this matter by getting to the root of the issue and bringing all th

HUMAN TRAFFICKING INCIDENT ALONG NGWERERE ROAD
Lusaka, December 2, 2024-The Zambia Police Service wishes to inform the public about a human trafficking incident that was intercepted today Monday, December 2, 2024, at approximately 10:30 hours along Ngwerere Road, Chongwe District.
During routine patrols, a team of officers from Kenneth Kaunda International Airport Police Station set up a motor vehicle screening point at Hellensdale Junction, before Kalimba Farms.
While conducting inspections, the officers stopped a dark blue Toyota Hiace minibus with registration number ABF 4650. The vehicle, which had fully tinted windows and a red number plate painted black, raised suspicions. Upon closer inspection, the officers observed an unusual scene of individuals lying on top of each other in the vehicle, which prompted further inquiry.
When questioned about the passengers, the driver and two accomplices suddenly abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot. The officers gave chase but were unable to apprehend them immediately as they disappeared into a nearby farm.
Upon returning to the vehicle, the officers discovered 13 male individuals of Ethiopian origin who appeared frail and weak. Preliminary interviews revealed that the group had embarked on a journey from Ethiopia, passing through Kenya and Tanzania, and were en route to South Africa to meet a person whose identity we shall withhold for fear of jeopardizing the ongoing investigations.
The officers immediately called for reinforcements from the station and police headquarters. All 13 individuals have since been taken into custody for their safety and further questioning. Additionally, two suspects from the fleeing group, including the driver, have been apprehended. They have been identified as Siaumpe Kaumbe and Patrick Kombe (Unlicensed Driver). Efforts are underway to locate the third suspect, who remains at large.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing, with a focus on dismantling the trafficking network responsi

MINISTRY of Health Permanent Secretary for administration Christopher Simoonga is demanding US$10 million compensation, a retraction and an apology from News Diggers for allegedly publishing a defamatory article.

Professor Simoonga, through his lawyers Kabesha & Company, said the amount represents both actual and punitive damages.

He said on November 25, 2024, News Diggers falsely and maliciously printed and published defamatory statements under the heading “Health PS in tender scandal… awards $6.8 million contract to his ‘own’ company”.

In a demand letter served on News Diggers last week, he also demanded that the publication should immediately cease or desist from the alleged libel it has and is engaged in.

A 28-YEAR-OLD police constable has been sentenced to two years imprisonment with hard labour for stealing a State-owned AK-47 rifle from an armoury at Government Printing Department.

The jail term is with effect from Kayelu’s date of arrest, June 7, when he breached his bail conditions.

Kayelu was charged with one count of theft by public servant after he stole a Government-owned AK-47 rifle valued at K3,000 in June last year.

Several witnesses, including a fellow police officer, testified against him in court.

The court heard that two police officers exchanged guns while on duty.

But when one of the officers later went to check for the firearm he exchanged with a workmate, the cop realised that the weapon was missing from the armoury.

It ended in tears for Silvia Masebo

Crisis of village land sold in Chongwe

Minister of Lands and Natural Resources Sylvia MASEBO visited her Constituency and also used the opportunity to help resolve the land invasion and land crisis in the area.

Over the last 3 years, Title Deeds to land of many villages in Njolwe area of Senior Chieftaness Nkomeshya Mukamambo II’s Chiefdom were issued and these new corrupt land owners want government to authorise the eviction of communities in several villages.

Reports indicate that Masebo received strong hostility and was quickly whisked away in her car as it was pelted with stones as the driver sped away.

Her predecessor, Dr. Elijah Muchima set up an inquiry to enable both Ministry of Lands and the Busoli Royal Establishment to determine whether the title deeds to the pieces of traditional land in question were issued through the right procedure or not.

In a recent operation, the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) has intercepted a fraudulent shipment declared as containing shoe soles, glue, and shoe heels.
However, upon physical inspection, authorities discovered that the truck was purely carrying undeclared shoes and slippers. 1, 295 boxes of slippers and 348 boxes of shoes were not declared, respectively. In this case, this translates to 46, 620 pairs of slippers and 8,280 pairs of shoes being smuggled into the country.
The attempt by Dronewave Investments Limited to evade customs duties by falsely declaring lower-duty items resulted in a revenue loss of K215,000 to the Government of the Republic of Zambia.
The Zambia Revenue Authority would like to strongly warn importers and agents involved in similar schemes that they will face severe penalties, including hefty fines and potential prosecution. Agents found to be involved in such illicit practices will also have their licenses revoked.
By taking decisive action against these fraudulent activities, the Authority aims to protect legitimate businesses and ensure fair competition.
ZRA officers are on high alert to curb smuggling and illicit trade by unearthing of various tax fraud schemes to enhance tax compliance.
Taxpayers are advised to comply with tax laws in order to avoid punitive enforcement measures including prosecution. Members of the public are also urged to volunteer information to ZRA about anyone involved in smuggling or tax evasion activities.

By the admin in mongu. Channel five television network. 21/04/24 In whichever way you look at this year's kuomboka ceremony, there is no problem in those who see a good gesture from the litunga to invite his counter part mwine lubemba, just like there is no problem in those that have seen a problem the way this year's kuomboka ceremony has been handled. Inviting whoever the owners of the ceremony has chosen to invite does not mean those who are not invited as guest of honour can not attend the ceremony, especially on the side of government. This year's kuomboka ceremony has come with a different face and we have seen it, this should not make some individuals disrespect the head of state, when the invitation of mwine lubemba was announced atleast a statement would have been made to say "by not inviting the head if state does not mean we are against him" unlike what we are seeing now circulating where now because the BRE has not invited the president as guest of honour, to some individuals it's automatically the BRE is against the president and his government. The video tagged in this article, the woman in this video has made it clear that the reason why BRE did not invite him is because there is ENEMITY between BRE and HH's government. This is where the problem is, there is no need to raise such kind of words all because she is a daughter of barotse land, if you check the boundaries of barotse land it includes all other tribes like tongas, Toka leyas and those in central province. When you fight the president like the way this woman in the video is putting it, she is fighting her own brothers, if today barotse land is to be given, do you think those she is insulting won't be part of the barotse? Let not this gesture done by the king litunga which was based on uniting Zambia be misinterpreted by disgruntled youths who think by spreading falsehood will make them known that they can do anything for BRE, the move was done completely out of love of unity but those who
