In reply to Umuntu.

What is a Land Agency? What does it do?

This is not punishment enough. If anything the whole council should have been dissolved and a local government administrator put in place to teach them a lesson.

@Umuntu, we are a nation known for selective application of the law.

So there will be no demolitions in Lusaka South National Park, just like there were none in Forest 27.

Silly, virtual signalling.
If anyone was serious about this, people would be appearing in court for this. People would have been fired. But because the beneficiaries are linked to the powers that be, there is only cosmetic cleanup. The land will still remain in the power of the corrupt people that have allocated it to themselves. If you think UPND is any better than PF, you are truly blind. And the fact that we are only 3yrs into their rule and they are just as bad as PF is scary. How bad will things get by the time they are removed from power? Think about that.

While authority over land is with the Ministry of Lands, country and town planning is with local authorities. This seems to be a source of conflict. Council meetings approve site plans and it seems that was done. Cadres and former councilors don’t sit in council meetings. What has Garry Nkombo got to say?

I don’t think that to revoke the land agency of the entire council is correct. While authority over land is with the Ministry of Lands, the town & county planning function is with local authorities. Site plans are approved by full council meetings in which cadres and former councilors don’t sit. Reports indicate that the council met and approved the alienation of that land. It’d be better for the Minister to isolate the problem and deal with it because this wholesale decision will affect in areas not involved. Kafue is vast and misdeeds in that small area shouldn’t be made to affect the whole council. That’s a lack of leadership

Well done Minister. Sort out your officer Mpotwa. He is a culprit in illegal land dealings. Works with cadres. Did it with PF Cadres
