Kalabo Prison Completed

GOVERNMENT has completed the construction of Kalabo State Prison in Western Province, Commissioner of Prisons Percy Chato has said.
Government last year allocated K20 million for the rehabilitation and construction of new prisons in Monze, Kalabo and Luwingu.
Mr Chato, in an interview in Kitwe last Thursday, said Kalabo State Prison will soon be commissioned.
“Last year, we embarked on numerous projects to expand the existing infrastructure in state prisons. We are happy to announce that Kalabo State Prison, which was under construction, has finally been completed,” he said.
Mr Chato said the prison will be ready for commissioning once the beds and beddings are bought.
He said the Zambia Prisons Service (ZPS) will continue to build more prisons and expand the existing infrastructure to ensure that prisoners live in a conducive environment.
Mr Chato said Monze State Prison is under construction and that works are likely to complete this year.
He said the ZPS is also working tirelessly to ensure that inmates in various prisons have access to clean water and sanitation to prevent any outbreak of waterborne diseases.
Mr Chato said ZPS recently purchased a rig for sinking boreholes and that the equipment is currently at Mwembeshi State Prison where works are being done to drill a borehole.
He said the purchase of the equipment will facilitate the drilling of boreholes in prisons where there are water problems.
Mr Chato also expressed happiness with the newly erected perimeter wire fence at Kamfinsa State Prison which will provide the much-needed security to prevent prison breaks.
He said ZPS wants to ensure that prisons throughout the country are secure to curb prison breaks.
In 2013, Kamfinsa recorded one prison break which saw four inmates escape through the dilapidated perimeter wire fence.

GBM RECEIVES A PRESIDENTIAL AND HEROES’ WELCOME IN NAKONDE, AS HE PROVES TO BE FAR MORE POPULAR THAN EDGAR LUNGU.

Yesterday (18th January 2015) close to Ten Thousand people accorded GBM a welcome befitting a seating Head of State when they turned up to witness GBM’s Political Rally in Nakonde. The five OP Officers and 20 Senior PF Members who attended GBM’s Nakonde Rally were surprised and shocked that the number of people who attended GBM/UPND’s rally was almost 4 time as many as compared to th that had earlier attended Edgar Lungu’s rally on 5th January 2015 and 10 times many than those that attended FDD’s Edith Nawakwi’s rally 2 weeks ago in Nakonde.
A lot of people including many high ranking PF district members were shocked to witness a sea of people which GBM was able to command and were heard admitting that HH will win the Tuesday Presidential Elections with a wide margin against his closest rival Edgar Lungu of PF
GBM has proved that he is more popular than Edgar Lungu going by the number of people that turned up for his first rally in nakonde. He arrived in Nakonde at Ntindi Secondary School Ground at exactly 17:15 hours and was surged by thousands of supporters who flashed the UPND symbol in solidarity with him.
And addressing thousands of Nakonde Residents this afternoon, GBM said that he decided to support and campaign for HH after the current PF President Edgar Lungu sidelined him in his campaigns. He told Nakonde Residents that he joined politics not to enrich himself but to serve the Zambian People and Nakonde People in particular. He said that when he resigned as the Defense Minister he did not suffer because he already had money which he made through his clean business. He condemned Edgar Lungu for thinking that PF belonged to him and sidelined founding members of the party. He added that Edgar Lungu is now feeling his wait and heat, no wander he is now panicking. He further told thousands of the residents that Edgar Lungu will lose the coming elections and appealed to Nakonde residents not to remain behind but be among the winning team of the In Coming President Hakainde Hichilema. He pledged to go back to Nakonde to thank the residents for the winning votes that they will give HH/UPND in Tuesday’s Presidential Polls.
And when word went round that GBM was in Nakonde, a large column of people started flocking to Ntindi School Ground, a school which is less than 1km away from Tanzania. It is the first time in since independence for the Helicopter to land at Ntindi School and residents felt honored by GBM’ss visit hence their pledge to vote for HH the candidate GBM is supporting.
And the PF Nakonde District veteran Political Analyst Dr. Royd Siwale admitted that GBM was 4 times popular in Nakonde than PF Presidential Candidate Edgar Chagwa Lungu. He wondered how thousands of people could attend GBM’s rallies compared to just a handful of the Nakonde Residents and those that were ferried from the neighboring Tanzania who attended Lungu’s rally on 5th January 2015.
He added that if the political rallies were the best means of analyzing the popularity of any presidential candidate, then HH is going to beat Edgar Lungu by getting 74% while Edgar Lungu will be languishing in 26%. In short in Nakonde Edgar Lungu as an individual is embarrassing not popular as compared to GBM and UPND/ HH in particular, but PF as a party is still considerably popular than Edgar Lungu himself no wander very few turned up for his rally as compared to thousands that turned up for GBM’s today Nakonde Rally.

  Dear PF Youth Members;
  
  I am sad to inform you that we are likely to lose tomorrow Tuesday (2.01,15)to HH/UPND but with a small margin, but this is mainly due to violence and infighting that our party has experience since the demise of our beloved President Micheal Chilufya Sata (MHSRIP).
  
  According to the 95% of the opinion polls conducted by our Party-PF, Muvi TV, Zambia Eye, the Post Newspaper and other Reliable Non governmental Organizations, the UPND/HH is favorable to win tomorrow’s Presidential Elections.
  
  To this effect, I would like to inform all the Zambian People that as Patriotic Front, we are ready to concead defeat in the event that we lose tomorrow’s elections. At the same time, on behalf of the PF, I would like to condemn to sentiments attributed to the MMD President Nervers Mumba in which he said he would petition the presidential elections because of his MPs that are supporting the PF and UPND, as PF we believe such sentiments are a recipe for anarchy. Dr. Nevers Mumba should emulate us the ruling party on our pledge to concead defeat in an event that the UPND/HH wins the Presidency.
  
  As Zambians we should learn to support each other, regardless of whatever party wins.
  
  The PF as a party is calling on the ECZ to ensure that its conduct free and fair elections to avoid post election violence. I am further calling on ECZ to investigate the rigging allegations as reported by the Zambian Watch Dog so that all suspicions are erased before it is too late. AS pf we are not interested in rigging elections, but that is not to say other members of our party cannot have such evil ideas. No wander we are calling on ECZ to ensure that any person who is going to mastermind rigging, is dealt with firmly. We would rather lose than winning a fraudulent and incredible elections.
  Finally I call on PF not to to be demoralized by the fact that the PF is losing tomorrow’s elections, but should rather wake up early to vote to support our President Edgar Lungu.
  
  CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI
  PF YOUTH CHAIRMAN.
