Hon. Elijah Muchima refutes hand in Mayoral Elections

Southern Province Minister Elijah J. Muchima has refuted media reports that he had a hand in the mayoral elections for Livingstone City. He said he did not want to be dragged in to the Livingstone councilors politics as his Office was just an advisory when it comes to MMD party issues at local level.

He said he merely facilitated a caucus meeting where strategic resolution resolutions was reached to float one candidate for Mayor and another for deputy, the councilors themselves decided on Mr. Musesa and councilor Jere respectively. Councilor Musonda was bitter because he wanted to floated as the candidate but then the primary elections conducted amongst MMD councilors reviewed that the preferred candidate was Mr. Musesa.

He said for Mr. Musonda to have gone ahead and filed in the nominations as Mayoral was a betrayal of the party because he necessitated the split of vote within MMD and subsequent loss of elections to the opposition UPND a council that MMD controls in terms of numbers.

CALL FOR DIALOGUE

DEYOS-ZAMBIA a Youth organisation in Livingstone do hereby comdem the violence in western province and earnestly urge the government of the Republic of Zambia headed by Mr Rupiah Banda to immediately bring all stakeholders to the Barotse issue to the table for disscussion. We wish to regret the death of young people during the protests in mongu and Limulunga, we urge the Home Minister to immediately investigate the circumstances leading to the usage of excessive force on an unarmed civilian. We contend that rules of engagement must be put to review in this country because we cannot have a situation where trigger excited cops will continue shooting people at every civil protests, it happened at the Copperbelt University and during the protests by Students in Lusaka and everytime the Police and Home Affairs have an excuse...We also call upon young people in western province to restrain themselves and lobby on this issue using legal frameworks.

Access capital from CEEC

Citizen's Economic Empowerment Commission has revised its application forms for amounts below K50,000,000 and it has further relaxed conditions on collateral for the said amounts. These forms will be available next according to Mr Hakulipa CEEC coordinator for Southern Province.

Please note that the CEEC will as well give preferential procurements certificates that are as good as Zambia Public Procurement Authority formerly tender Board certificates. They are only K70,000, this will give you an urge on government procurement deals.
