By NATION REPORTER

LEADER of the Opposition in Parliament,  Brian Mundubile says limiting former President Edgar Lungu’s freedom of association will never reduce the cost of living.

Ndambo refutes claims that his firm was operating at Kasumbalesa border post

By NATION REPORTER

BUSINESS tycoon James Ndambo’s family have refuted media reports suggesting that the Zambian government had prevented his company from running the Kasumbalesa border post .

Media allegations have accused Mr. Ndambo of making illicit profits at the said border post .

But a family representative Mr. Fortune Ndambo said that Mr. Ndambo had no connection with the said transactions.

“Mr James Ndambo had no relationship or connection with Zambia IP Border Crossing Company (ZIpBCC) nor was there a contract or concession indirectly or directly with ZRA at Kasumbalesa border post,” he said.

He added that it has been a public knowledge over the past 12 years that a Jewish company operated the contract under discussion.

Mr James Ndambo is a Zambian born business tycoon based in South Africa.

In a statement from the family said Mr. James Ndambo never had a contract with Zambia Revenue Authority in Kasumbalesa.

The Ndambo family is flabbergasted by media reports published by some overzealous malicious online publication dated 2nd March 2023 purporting that the Zambian government had stopped Mr. James Ndambo through his company from running the Zambia Kasumbalesa border post where it’s alleged, he was making illicit profits, without defining the licit profits that presumably the publisher’s company if any, makes. 

The family would rather the publisher confronts  Mr Ndambo at a personal level if he has  contentious issues to address as opposed to hiding behind non-existent contracts purely to attract public attention.

The moment you refer to someone as hurting the Zambians via illicit profits, why not channel such to institutions tasked to police such errant business houses or individuals?  

Mr. James Ndambo had no relationship or connection with Zambia IP Border Crossing Company (ZipBCC) nor was there a contract or concession indirectly or directly with ZRA at Kasumbalesa border post. It has been public knowledge over the past 12 years that a Jewish company operated the contract in topic.

How state laws affect health information sharing practices

Recent increases in the use of health information technology (health IT) and electronic health records (EHR) provide avenues to untapped potential for improving health care productivity and efficiency. Health information exchanges, or HIEs, store health information so that patient care can be tracked even when it spans multiple health care providers. However, despite the promising nature of the rapidly growing amount of digital health information, health information sharing has had little effect on health care to date.
