  • Strategy and Corporate Services Directorate
    STRATEGY AND CORPORATE SERVICES DIRECTORATE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE PROPOSED LUSAKA TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION REHABILITATION PROJECT: WATERWORKS-LSMFEZ-CHAWAMA-CHILANGA-LUSAKA WEST SUBSTATION 132KV TRANSMISSION LINE PREPARED BY THE ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL ANALYSIS UNIT ZESCO LIMITED FEBRUARY, 2018 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ZESCO Limited is a vertically integrated electricity parastatal registered under the Companies Act. ZESCO was established in 1970 and is wholly owned by the Government of the Republic of Zambia. However, ZESCO operates as an autonomous entity that is monitored by the Government, through the Board of Directors, to ensure that performance benchmarks are met. The Company is mandated to generate, transmit, distribute and supply electricity throughout Zambia. ZESCO proposes to undertake an electricity transmission and distribution system rehabilitation program with the view of improving the transmission and distribution infrastructure in the Country throughout ZESCO’s four Divisions namely Lusaka, Copperbelt, Northern, and Southern. Of critical importance under this project is the urgency to address the rehabilitation needs of Lusaka, considering that 40% of the non- mining loads are concentrated in this area. These rehabilitation works in Lusaka will be implemented through the Lusaka Transmission and Distribution Rehabilitation Project (LTDRP). Therefore, the proposed project will support the reinforcement of the existing transmission and distribution networks in ZESCO’s Lusaka Division, which includes Lusaka City and its surrounding areas. The rehabilitation works in Lusaka will have two sub components which are: (i) Component 1: Reinforcement of the 132kV Transmission Network; and (ii) Component 2: Rehabilitation of the 33kV and 11kV Distribution Network. This Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) addresses an activity under Component 1, which will be the construction of the Waterworks – LSMFEZ – Chawama – Chilanga – Lusaka West Substation 132kV transmission line.

The Minister of Finance, Dr. Bwalya K.E. Ng’andu, in his maiden budget presentation informed the nation that the 2020 budget would continue to propagate the objectives of the Seventh National Development Plan, and austerity measures and key reform areas in the Economic Stabilization and Growth Programme. These areas will continue to be adopted in the 2020 budget and in the medium term as they aim to: enhance domestic resource mobilization, refocus expenditure, narrow the fiscal deficit, reduce the pace of debt accumulation and dismantle domestic arrears. The Minister indicated that in an attempt to enhance domestic revenue mobilization, a number of measures will be implemented in the medium term such as: continued modernization and automation of revenue collection processes and provision of Government services; continued roll out of electronic fiscal devices; development of a national policy on avoidance of double taxation; accelerating the implementation of land titling and revaluation of properties; and adjusting fees and fines to cost-reflective levels.

  • Ministerial Statement the Status of FMD Countrywide.Pdf
    MINISTERIAL STATEMENT ON STATUS OF FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE COUNTRYWIDE BY THE MINISTER OF FISHERIES AND LIVESTOCK, MS MULENGA, MP Madam Speaker, I wish to thank you and the Leader of Government Business in the House, Her Honour the Vice-President, for giving me this opportunity to render a ministerial statement to update this august House and, indeed, the nation on the status of the foot and mouth disease (FMD) in the country and the measures taken so far to control the disease. This statement will also address the concern of the general public on this disease of socio-economic importance to the country. Madam Speaker, I wish to inform the House that there is an ongoing outbreak of FMD in the country. The House may wish to note that the first case was reported on 22 nd March, 2018, in Chisamba District and the disease was reported on fourteen farms. Later in the same month, the disease spread to Chibombo District. Experts from my ministry conducted laboratory diagnosis and confirmed the disease to be FMD caused by FMD virus serotype ‘0’ which was closely related to that isolated in Eastern Africa. This was the first time this particular virus was isolated and identified in the Central Zambia. Previously, FMD control programmes in the country were targeted at the FMD serotype SAT 1, SAT 2 and SAT 3. For this reason, the livestock population in the affected districts were highly naive, since they have never been exposed, to this new serotype and they had no previous vaccinations. Madam, allow me now to dwell on FMD symptoms and risk factors.
