      I’ll always be a champion against child marriage – Lungu

      FORMER president Edgar Lungu says he is and will remain a champion against early child marriages. Speaking when the Edgar Lungu Foundation donated assorted items to orphans and vulnerable children of Ubuntu Royal Community School in Chibombo district last week, Lungu assured traditional leaders that his Foundation would be a partner in the fight against early child marriages and gender-based violence. “With many rural parents struggling to provide sufficient food, young girls (sometimes as young as 12 years old) in our villages are being married off at an early age. Usually, girls who have been given off into early marriages.......

    • Can corruption be prevented by ACC sitting in the tender committee?

      THE determination expressed by the Anti-Corruption Commission Director General Gilbert Phiri to participate in the entire fertiliser tendering process in order to prevent corruption is encouraging. Reacting to the revelation by President Hichilema that some members of the tender committee in the line ministry were tampering with tender documents, Mr Phiri said the Commission will not tolerate any dirty trick in government procurement. PHIRI: “Concerning the fertiliser tendering process, the Anti-Corruption Commission will be part of it. The ACC is going to have a presence and we will observe all the processes right up to the end. So, the mere fact that we are present, watching and observing the process means that we are looking out for issues like collusion, inflation and generally, corruption. So, we shall ensure that the words of the President are followed to the latter. We are optimistic that there will be no need to set an early example of what we mean when we say there will be zero tolerance to corruption. So, we are watching the fertiliser tender process with eagle eyes. I will be receiving periodic briefings from our representative in the process to ensure that at the first slightest sign of trouble, we move in. And we’re acting in the interest of the Zambian people. So, we are not going to allow any dirty tricks and corruption in this process. It will not happen.” We don’t know how robust the team which has been deployed to monitor the said fertilizer tender process is, but if the Anti-Corruption Commission does its work diligently and without any political interference, then we will definitely see a significant reduction in corruption. But the question is whether.......

      Imenda condemns UPND cadres for storming Nsama Council

      UPND secretary general Batuke Imenda has advised UPND members to remain orderly no matter how much they feel aggrieved. In a video circulating on various social media platforms, some UPND members, who spoke in Bemba, are seen storming Nsama Town Council demanding for the removal of the Council Secretary Peter Sati on allegations of holding on to CDF funds and failure to display the presidential portrait, among other issues. “For us we, do not want the Council Secretary Mr Peter…….

      New bus fares official, final – Tayali

      MINISTER of Transport and Logistics Frank Tayali says the new bus fare recommendations by RTSA are official and final.

Recently, the Road Transport and Safety Agency announced a reduction in bus fares effective August 7, 2022. This is due to the Energy Regulation Board’s decision to reduce the fuel pump prices by K3.56…….

      TWO Spanish La Liga teams are courting Fashion Sakala for a possible loan move away from Scottish side Rangers FC. Sakala moved to Rangers at the start of last season after a good shift for Belgian side KV Oostende in that country’s top league. At Rangers, he has shown some flashes of brilliance albeit he has not been given much time to show what he is really made of by his current coach. The former Zanaco and Nchanga Rangers player…….

      The Copper Queens robbed at WAFCON 2022: It’s time to focus on Women’s World Cup

      Chipolopolo are perhaps going through classic male menstruation syndrome: the physical appetite and desire to win is there, but the emotional, mental and technical killer instinct to finish well and score many goals is missing, as their male hormones play havoc with their brains, eyes and feet! I hope our handsome coach, Aljoša Asanović, whom some think is Kenny Rodgers incarnate, will not soon be borrowing and singing Andrea Bocelli’s “Time to Say Goodbye” song, as Zambians vent their anger....
