Banda Appoints ZPPA Board Members

PRESIDENT Rupiah Banda has appointed board members and the director-general for the Zambia Public Procurement Authority (ZPPA) following the abolition of the Zambia National Tender Board (ZNTB).

The appointments follow the recent enactment of the Public Procurement Act No 12 of 2008, which repealed the ZNTB Act.

The president's special assistant for Press and public relations, Dickson Jere said Mr Banda had appointed members to serve on the newly-created ZPPA to replace those who served on the ZNTB which has since been abolished.

Mr Banda appointed Samuel Chibuye as director-general of ZPPA to take over from David Kapitolo who was director general of ZNTB. "President Banda thanked all the board members who served under the Zambia National Tender Board and Mr Kapitolo for their contribution to the nation," Mr Jere said.

Finance and National Planning Minister, Situmbeko Musokotwane will chair the ZPPA board.

Members include Works and Supply Minister, Mike Mulongoti, Energy and Water Development Minister Kenneth Konga, Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister, Brian Chituwo and Local Government and Housing Minister, Benny Tetamashimba.

The rest are secretary to the Cabinet, Joshua Kanganja, Bank of Zambia governor, Caleb Fundanga, Works and Supply Permanent Secretary, Bizwayo Nkunika, Commerce, Trade and Industry Permanent Secretary, James Mulungushi and business executives Edward Sefuke and Martha Akapelwa.
