🚨PF MP REJECTS MUKANDILA’S IMPEACHMENT PUSH: STOP WASTING TIME ON ISSUES WHICH ARE UNWORKABLE

Chama North Member of Parliament, Yotam Mtayachalo, reacts to Tonse Alliance Youth Chairperson Celestine Mukandila’s impeachment push against President Hakainde Hichilema.

He shared.........

Let us be mindful and avoid antagonizing members of parliament because we are going towards a general election few months from now therefore let us focus on party mobilization instead of wasting time on issues which are unworkable.

Further we are behind time and as such instead of spending more time on endless press briefings we must go on the ground,sell our party and enegise party structures that's what can win us an election.

PRESIDENT Hakainde Hichilema has said that a five megawatt solar plant will be established in Monze to power primary schools and health facilities around Chikuni and Rusangu missions.

The head of State said this at State House yesterday when he met a delegation from the Seventh-day Adventist church led by its president of the Southern Africa-Indian Ocean Division, Harrington Akombwa.

“I’m pushing to make sure that we have green alternative energy there so that educational work does not get disrupted, medical work and indeed economic activities around there, so you will see solar power station up there very quickly and since you are around there, Cabinet a few days ago approved the economic zone and so we are bringing in an MFEZ.”

“The importance of what we are doing is that there will be an assembly plant for EV vehicles there. You may not believe, but it’s coming,” he said.

The head of State is also providing support for the construction of a medical school within Rusangu University.

LAURA MITI WRITES

President Lungu complains, with evident high distress levels, that his family is being accused of and punished for possessing extreme wealth. His unhappiness is that no one has told him where he, who gave them what they own, stole from.

He argues that, surely as a successful lawyer then Republican President, he earned thw millions and millons in question.

I didn't know what to think of that so basically erroneous understanding of the law - coming from a lawyer. What it did remind me of, though, was the former President's frustrating - bring me the evidence - argument when he was in office and asked to deal with perceived high levels of corruption, in his government.

As many will remember the apex of that - I will act if you show me where they stole from - position was that mfwiti mfwiti performance at Ndola Airport, I think it was.

Anyhow, President Lungu, I know lawyers, like doctors, do not like ordinary mortals to correct them on a matter in their profession. But then, you are so wrong in your expressed understanding of how things work.

It's like this. As regards what we own, it is not the responsibility of law enforcement to show that it was obtained via less than kosher means. It is our responsibility and fully so, to have and present receipts.

Simply, it is not enough to say - because I was a prominent lawyer, then President of the nation, I could afford to gift my whole family - wife and children, with my wife also gifting nieces etc - property collectively worth tens of millions of dollars. Rather, what you should do is:

1. Show how your legal earnings as lawyer and President - add any businesses maybe - amounted to these millions.

2. Show the tax you paid on all these earnings. Salaries are easy. It's the business earnings you have to prove you paid tax on. You understand, I am sure, as former President, how paying tax is a critical responsibility of all citizens, if we are all to have passably decent schools and hospitals - vaso.

3. Prove that you bought the properties members of your family own (from these earned millions) then gifted them, or how you transferred money for them to purchase properties and scores o vehicles.

It's easy really. It's the legal trail of money, Sir. Show the investigators the trail of legal money, and all the problems your beloved wife, sons and daughters are experiencing will go away.

Chaos at the Altar! 💔💥
What was meant to be the happiest day of their lives turned into an explosive spectacle on Saturday, when a lavish, fairy-tale wedding descended into shocking mayhem. Guests gasped in disbelief as the bride and groom still in their pristine wedding attire engaged in a heated physical fight right in front of stunned family and friends.

The trigger? Moments before the cake cutting, the groom allegedly discovered a bombshell truth that the woman he had vowed to spend forever with had not one, but three children, shattering the story she had told him. Tension boiled over, and in a matter of seconds, the romantic celebration transformed into a whirlwind of anger, accusations, and flying fists.

What began as a love story ended in scandal, leaving the audience speechless and the couple’s future hanging by a thread. 💔🔥

ACTIVIST CONDEMNS BAIL GRANTED TO KATETE DC RAPHAEL PHIRI, WHO ALLEGEDLY DEFILED HIS GRANDDAUGHTER

By: Prudence Mutelo

child rights activist henry kabwe has voiced strong concern over the katete magistrates’ court’s decision to grant bail to former katete district commissioner raphael phiri, who is facing four counts of in**st involving his granddaughter.

mr. kabwe emphasized that crimes against children must be treated with utmost seriousness, arguing that while society rightly condemns vehicle theft, defiling a child is far more devastating — it robs the victim of their future and shatters their destiny.

he warned that allowing suspects in such cases to walk free on bail poses a grave risk, as the accused may return to the same environment where the child victim and her family reside, exposing them to potential intimidation and psychological trauma.

mr. kabwe recalled that the minister of justice had previously advocated for the removal of bail provisions in child sexual abuse cases, and that the minister of community development had also raised similar concerns.

however, he lamented the lack of legislative progress, attributing the inaction to what he described as a low level of commitment to social welfare issues.

the advocate urged government to prioritize child protection and translate its public statements into concrete legal reforms.

mr. kabwe also called for immediate measures to shield the victim and her family from any contact with the accused, and reiterated the need for urgent amendments to bar bail in serious child abuse cases.

ZESCO GIVES MISISI/KAMWALA CHARCOAL TRADERS 14 DAYS TO VACATE WAYLEAVE OR FACE DEMOLITION

As Councillor Simataa Calls for 90 Days Amnesty for Traders

A 14 day ZESCO ultimatum issued to all traders operating under the ZESCO power-line to vacate or face demolition, has left over 1000 traders earning a living from an area in Misisi populary known as pa malasha, staring down the burrel of an uncertain future.

This came to light when representatives of the traders led by a Mr. Moonga from Nkoloma Ward, visited neighboring Kamwala Ward Councillor Mainda Simataa who’s equally fighting other demolition notices served on his people by Zambia Railways, to ask for space to relocate the affected traders.

Councillor Simataa who empathized with the traders said that while ZESCO’s actions are justified on the basis of safe-guarding human life and infrastructure, the civic leader maintained that the 14 day ultimatum was rushed and unrealistic, adding that its impact would cause an economic disaster as livelihoods would be destroyed for traders who’ve operated from pa malasha for over 20 years.

The civic leader has called for a 90 days amnesty to allow a tripartite meeting between LCC, ZESCO and Zambia Railways to find alternative spaces to relocate the affected victims who are willing to comply, once alternatives are found and formalized.
