Govt Urged To Sensitize Prisoners On Ebola
Prisons Care and Counseling Association (PRISCCA) has urged government to come up sensitization programmes for Prisons officers on symptoms of the deadly Ebola virus.
PRISCCA Executive Director Geoffrey Malembeka says this is in view of the fact that some illegal immigrants from different countries are detained in various prisons.
Mr. Malembeka says it is important that prisons officers have some knowledge of the deadly disease which has hit West Africa claiming over one thousand lives.
Mr. Malembeka notes that with the crackdown on illegal immigrants government has embarked on through the ministry of Home Affairs, it is important that screening is also done in prisons considering that these people are potential carriers of the disease as most of them come from west African countries.
He says no institution should be left out when it comes to sensitization and screening for Ebola for the sake of preventing the disease.
Mr Malembeka has however commended government for the measures it has taken so far in response to the outbreak of the disease in West Africa.

“There are many ways to die, and not all of them have to do with extinction. A lot of them have to do with living. Living many lies. Living without asking questions. Living in the cave of your own prejudices. Living the life imposed on you, the dreams and codes of your ancestors.”
Africans are dying while they are living.
Africans are dying because most people in Africa are living false lives. People are afraid of being themselves, of living their own lives, and of asserting their own uniqueness and originality. Many people are living under illusions and deceptions.
Hell my friend is here on earth, living in poverty is hell.

Africans are dying due to lack of foresight, insight and thoughtfulness.

But what will that do? Our prisons are very congested! Nothing can help apart from expanding or building more prisons!

Zambia’s border posts very porous indeed. One day these illegal immigrants will take up our mother land Zambia if we are not careful.

Why not just deport the illegal immigrants back to their countries?

let’s hold a day of prayer as a country… you know, when we pray as Zambia, God hears us. Ebola will not find Zambia, in Jesue name. Ebola is not our portion.
