  • Theatre of the Absurd the Last Few Weeks Have Been Emblematic of the Farce That Passes for Economic Stewardship in Zambia
    Rhombus Advisors LLCLLCLLC Omotunde A.J. Mahoney +1-862 444 0746 March 7, 2019 ZAMBIA RESEARCH NOTE Theatre of the absurd The last few weeks have been emblematic of the farce that passes for economic stewardship in Zambia. 1) In late February, the BoZ Governor had pointedly warned that “prompt and effective implementation of fiscal adjustment measures remains critical”1. As if to underscore the growing budget squeeze, it emerged a week later that most civil servants2 were yet to receive their salaries, which are typically disbursed between the 18th and 20th of each month. 2) Yet it was also on March 1st that Zambia took delivery of a new jet for President Lungu – a Gulfstream 650 with a reported price tag of USD 70 million3. It is unclear how this extravagance is to be paid for, especially with scheduled payments on the Republic’s foreign debt amounting to more than 90% of gross international reserves4. 3) That same week we learned that there is an acute shortage of maize in Southern province5 where traders report that farmers, who have historically been suppliers of grain, have now become active buyers6. The situation is so serious that the Food Reserve Agency has been forced to start distributing product from the strategic grain reserve7. 4) Undeterred by logic, the Agriculture ministry has since chosen to lift the prohibition on exporting the cereal from which Zambia’s mealie-meal staple is derived. On the basis of past form, it can be reasonably assumed that the rationale for the new dispensation is to permit traders affiliated with the ruling party to arbitrage the commodity’s steep, cross-border price-differential8.

  • Freedom House
    Zambia: Freedom in the World 2021 Country Report | Freedom House https://freedomhouse.org/country/zambia/freedom-world/2021 Zambia’s political system features regular multiparty elections, and some civil liberties are respected. However, opposition parties face onerous legal and practical obstacles to fair competition, and the government regularly invokes restrictive laws to curb freedom of expression and ban peaceful demonstrations and meetings. Political violence remains a problem. In April, the country’s media regulator forced the closure of a popular private television station that had a history of tensions with the government. The move came after the station’s owner said it would not air government advertisements related to the COVID-19 pandemic for free, citing unpaid debts for previous state advertisements. An audit report released in November found that some 1.3 billion kwacha ($70 million) in public funds pertaining to COVID-19 had been mismanaged between February and July, including through dubious procurement contracts. Health Minister Chitalu Chilufya had been acquitted in August of unrelated corruption charges. Chishimba Kambwili, leader of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) party, was sentenced in October to a year in prison on forgery charges and released on bail pending an appeal. Opposition members criticized the case as a politically motivated attempt to eliminate Kambwili from the 2021 presidential race. Also in October, the parliament rejected constitutional amendments introduced by the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) that would have increased the power of the presidency and allowed major changes to the electoral system.
