ITS INJUSTICE MINISTER.
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PERSECUTION
JUSTICE MINISTER SAYS EXECUTIVE WILL NOT INTERFERE IN PRESIDENTIAL TERM LIMIT PETITIONS
By Joseph Kaputula
Justice Minister Jack Mwiimbu says the executive will not interfere in the parliamentary procedure of considering petitions seeking the removal of the presidential term limit provision under Article 106(3) of the Constitution.
Addressing the media in Lusaka today, Mr. Mwiimbu said three individuals have so far petitioned the national assembly, calling for the removal of the provision, adding that the matter falls exclusively within the jurisdiction of parliament.
Mr. Mwiimbu has emphasized that attempts by the executive to interfere in parliamentary procedures would be unconstitutional and has reaffirmed government's commitment to the rule of law, democracy and separation of powers among the three arms of government.
He says government also recognizes the constitutional right of citizens to petition parliament and participate in democratic processes, stating that the national assembly remains the appropriate institution to address the concerns raised in the three petitions.

🇨🇩 In the early 1700s, while the Kingdom of Kongo was torn apart by civil war, a young woman emerged with a powerful message: reunite the kingdom, restore its historic capital and reclaim its spiritual identity.
Kimpa Vita, also known as Dona Beatriz, founded the Antonian movement, attracting thousands of followers.
She challenged European missionaries by teaching that Christianity belonged to the Kongolese people and should reflect their own history, culture and identity.
She called for the restoration of Mbanza Kongo and challenged the authority of the rival kings who had allowed the kingdom to remain divided.
Her growing influence alarmed both the political establishment and even more, Catholic missionaries.
Theu wanted her dead.
In 1706, she was captured, condemned and burned at the stake alongside one of her followers, João Barro.
She was approximately 22 years old.
But her movement survived her execution and continued challenging the established order.
They killed the woman. They did not erase her legacy.
Kimpa Vita remains one of Africa's remarkable symbols of spiritual resistance, political unity and cultural independence.
Chipuba ichi, monga chinamangapo market. Lusaka's population has more than doubled since FTJ built City Market. Only Chelstone and Nyumba Yanga can claim to have adequate areas, and this clown wants to fart in my face kwati I'm clueless.
Masiku ni panyo patambala.
Just go the markets. You clearly don't know how the military works. And my comment clearly went over your head.

When a wise man points to the moon 🌝, the fool looks at the finger. This 🥷here is practically licking and sniffing said finger. Logic yama junky😵💫 with papers but no purpose.
It's just that there's so much contradiction in one post Bamudala. One one hand you're supposedly posting about transparency, justice & rule of law (for that particular case of national interest), on the the other, U're signalling solidarity with Palestinian terrorism, Hamas and anti-Israel radicalism by your Keffiyeh wearing🤦🏽♂️! And worse still is the Marx portrait behind U whose "Oppressor & Oppressed" narrative and anti-capitalist narrative is poisoning minds & causing so much problems for arguably the greatest civilization, that is, Western Civilization. I'm well versed with the subject of my critism Sir. But not surprising, you being a socialist and all🤷🏽♂️

To this, I say yes. Please continue.
THE DEATH OF HON. MUTOTWE KAFWAYA
On Saturday, it will be three months since former Cabinet Minister and Lunte Member of Parliament Hon. Mutotwe Kafwaya was shot dead during a state security operation in Kabulonga, Lusaka. Our thoughts remain with his widow, Mrs Dinis Ng’andu Kafwaya, and his children.
Almost three months on, no inquest has been opened. The postmortem findings have not been made public. As far as the public knows, no officer involved has been named, suspended or charged.
The law is clear. Section 4 of the Inquests Act says that where a person dies a violent or unnatural death, the coroner shall hold an inquest as soon as is practicable. Article 12 of our Constitution protects the right to life and permits force only where it is reasonably justifiable. Whether the force used in Kabulonga met that test is for a court to decide, in public. It cannot be settled by silence.
Within two days of the operation, eleven people present at the house were arrested and told they would face charges. Three months later, the force that ended Hon. Kafwaya’s life has not been examined by any court. The law must apply to all.
Today, I delivered a letter to the Director of Public Prosecutions, asking that office to apply to the High Court, under section 33 of the Inquests Act, for an order that an inquest be held.
We ask the Human Rights Commission, which the Government says is overseeing the police investigation, to publish what it has found. We ask the Church, the legal profession and all parties to speak with one voice on this single demand: that the law be followed. And we ask President @HHichilema, as Head of State and Government, to let the law take its course.
On 20 August I wrote that no crime can be committed in the name of elections or law enforcement. I say it again. Hon. Kafwaya’s family deserves the truth. So does Zambia.

Zambians hate runs deep. Ok, now that she has been made to lose that much, where is the reciprocal value created and for whom, likely a foreigner who will export everything they make of Zambian backs. We are no longer one Zambia.
I took my time to listen to the lady who reportedly constructed 30 illegal shops in Kamwala, Lusaka, at a total cost of K972,000.
A few things stood out to me.
1. The economics of the project.
She speaks of generating K90,000 in monthly returns. What kind of infrastructure project generates that level of return and becomes net cash-flow positive within its first year?
The question becomes: what risks were being priced into those returns?
Part of the reason the project was so profitable was precisely because it was illegal. Some of those shops were reportedly built on titled land. You and a cadre effectively agreed to usurp someone's title deed and develop property without the necessary legal authority. What is the real cost/value of land those shops were constructed on.
You cannot evaluate the returns without accounting for the legal risks, potential litigation, demolition and compensation liabilities.
2. The cost of construction.
The shops were cheap to construct for a reason. They did not meet the requisite safety and construction standards.
Compliance has a cost. Structural integrity, fire safety, sanitation, planning permission and other regulatory requirements are not unnecessary bureaucratic expenses. They exist to protect people and property.
You cannot celebrate low construction costs without asking what standards were sacrificed to achieve them.
3. The business model itself.
You were reportedly charging 10% of construction and acquisition costs per month in rental income.
That is an extraordinary return, but it also raises questions about the sustainability and legality of the underlying investment.
4. Who actually carried the risk?
This is perhaps my biggest issue.
You effectively transferred the investment risk to the very traders you were supposedly creating opportunities for.
Within a year, you could potentially have recovered your entire initial investment through rentals, while the traders remained exposed to the risk of eviction, demolition and losing the businesses they had established.
I actually spoke to a few traders. Their biggest month-on-month concern was meeting rent. Imagine setting up a business in an environment where a substantial portion of your operating income goes towards servicing someone else's investment, while you have no security or tenure.
At some point, we need to distinguish between creating economic opportunities and simply extracting value from people with limited alternatives. My issue is not with entrepreneurship or the ability to identify a commercial opportunity. It is with presenting returns generated under circumstances that disregard property rights, planning regulations and public safety as some sort of entrepreneurial masterclass.
Ni same same as doing kaloba and then acting like you're a financial genius.
A high return does not automatically mean you have created economic value. Sometimes it simply means you have found a way to transfer risk and costs to people who are less equipped to carry them & have little to no other alternatives.

I miss the days when people believed it was a leadership issue. At least back then you could plan with the little you got.
JITO KAYUMBA SAYS TAX HIKES NECESSARY TO FUND DEVELOPMENT
By Mulonda Leocardia Inambao
Special Assistant and Advisor to President Hakainde Hichilema for Finance and Investment Jito Kayumba says while tax increases are often unpopular among citizens, they are necessary to mobilise resources for national development.
Speaking to Phoenix News, Mr. Kayumba says the increased taxes in the 2027 national budget will provide government with additional revenue to finance development programmes and reduce reliance on borrowing and donor support, particularly as government seeks to finance more than 80 percent of the K284.8 billion budget through domestic revenue.
He says the additional revenue will support key programmes such as free education, Constituency Development Fund-CDF-, infrastructure development, energy and agriculture, which are critical to improving citizens' livelihoods and driving economic growth.
Mr. Kayumba notes that the tax adjustments have been structured to ensure that lower-income earners are largely protected, with the increased Pay-As-You-Earn-PAYE-contribution mainly affecting income earned above the specified thresholds.
He has stressed that increased taxation should be viewed as an interim measure, explaining that as the economy expands and the tax base widens under the Grow Zambia Agenda, government will eventually have greater capacity to lower taxes.

Yesterday, my neighbor and I were wondering why Zambians abroad have no proper social cohesion. Weop, charity begins at home. Here, people are OK with someone else's suffering for the sake of their cynicism. Where is the One Zambia here? Love your neighbour fellow countryman.
