GOV'T INCREASES SUBSIDIES AND WAGES FOR TRADITIONAL LEADERS, RETAINERS

By Best Jere

The Government has increased subsidies for traditional leaders and wages for their retainers following the implementation of a presidential directive.

The Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development's Permanent Secretary for Administration, Dr. Gabriel Pollen, says the upward adjustment takes effect from January 2026.

Dr. Pollen says the decision follows an announcement made by President Hakainde Hichilema during the Kulamba Traditional Ceremony of the Chewa people in Katete District, Eastern Province, in August 2025.

He says the Government has now implemented the directive, resulting in revised monthly payments for Paramount Chiefs, Senior Chiefs, Chiefs, and retainers.

Dr. Pollen says under the new structure, Paramount Chiefs, Senior Chiefs, and Chiefs each receive an increase of K5,000, while retainers receive an increase of K3,000.

With these changes, the current subsidies and wages are now K18,000 for Paramount Chiefs, K16,500 for Senior Chiefs, K15,000 for Chiefs, and K5,500 for retainers.

He says outstanding arrears for January and February 2026 have already been paid together with March subsidies and wages.

The Ministry has since directed provincial administration offices to inform all traditional leaders and retainers under their jurisdiction of the new arrangements.

Mumbi now at Kamfinsa Prison, but spending time phone calling girls

WHEELS OF JUSTICE in the murder case of 46-year-old Clara Walya Sakala seem to be moving with Police formally charging the 38-year-old for his alleged gruesome murder of lover on February 19, 2026.

And Copperbelt Province Police Commanding Officer Mwala Yuyi has confirmed the transfer of Musonda Mumbi to Kamfinsa Correctional Facility as his officers await formal prosecution instructions from the Director of Public Prosecution - DPP.

TV Yatu has learned through Kamfinsa Correctional Facility sources that Musonda Mumbi's girlfriends are taking turns in restocking the accused's cabins of foodstuffs and assorted groceries.

The sources share that the murder accused has been phone calling a girl he dated about four years ago, asking her to take him back.

They say in his phone conversation with the named lady from the Copperbelt, the now behind bars murder accused is heard asking her to take him back and him complaining about her having rejected his attempt to get back with him some time last year.

According to TV Yatu's impeccable sources, the women visiting Mumbi are all defending their lover saying, when they dated him, he was "such a sweet person" who never raised a finger at them.

The sources say through a named officer at Kamfinsa Correctional Facility, Mumbi is calling lovers and complaining about living conditions in prison.

They assert that the suspect is receiving preferential treatment at the facility, suspecting that one of Mumbi's aunties, connected to a named renowned food company may have a hand in securing VIP treatment for the capital offence accused.

When TV Yatu contacted the Copperbelt Province Police Commanding Officer Mwala Yuyi to inquire on the whereabouts of Mumbi, Yuyi confirmed he was at Kamfinsa.

Asked why he was at Kamfinsa Correctional Facility before appearing in Court, the Provincial Police Chief explained that, "At times what we do is, to avoid congestion [in Police cells] we apply for a detention warrant...with capital offences if we don't do that, you can find someone would be in Police custody for more than 200 days as we are waiting for instructions from the DPP."

Clara Walya Sakala was murdered on February 19, 2026 allegedly by Musonda Mumbi, who sources say the deceased cohabited with while she took care of his son.

Church ex-fiance and I attended required us to test for HIV, ex dumped me when he learned my status, shares Duba

IN 2000, Duba Sakala was engaged to get married to her now ex-fiance, who after getting tested in 2001, vanished from her life, leaving their plans to one day get married, crumbling.

Duba, who has lived with HIV for 25 years recollects how she and her ex-fiance visited an HIV testing centre in 2001, and narrates the anxiety the couple bore waiting for results.

Speaking when she featured on My Story Podcast monitored by TV Yatu, Duba shares that the counselor that attended to them shared the couple's HIV test results individually.

"I read my results, and they said reactive, and I knew what reactive meant. He read his results and they read, non-reactive. He looked at me and I am sure he could tell from the look of my face, that my results was not what I expected," she shares.

Duba narrates that, after it was clear to him that they had read their results, their counselor asked if they could exchange their results slips.

"I was okay with it because this was somebody I was going to get married to. So I gave him my results, he gave me his results," she narrates.

She says when he read her results, he quickly gave her a hug.

"He gave me a hug and said it will be okay," she shares.

She further narrates that after they had the HIV testing centre, her now ex-fiance walked her to his home where according to her reality of her testing positive struck and she broke down.

"He was in the kitchen and I think he heard me sobbing and he came. And he started comforting me and told me, don't worry I will walk through this with you, I am not going to leave you, I am still going to go ahead and marry you," Duba shares.

She says according to that Church's practice, since it asked them to test for HIV, the couple needed to get back to it and inform them of the outcome of the test.

Duba says after discussing the matter with her partner, she resolved to share
