Former Chongwe Member of Parliament Sylvia Masebo has called on The Post management to open a bank account which members of the public will use to contribute towards their tax arrears.
Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) has closed the private owned daily Newspaper for allegedly none remittance of taxes amounting to K58 million, the figure disputed by the Newspaper.
But Masebo who views the move as a political to close the Daily Tabloid which is critical of the Edgar Lungu led Administration says:
“The Post should open a Bank Account for the Public to contribute towards their Tax Arrears …… some of us are ready to contribute. Lungu can do anything and get away with it. He can get a gun and shoot me in the head and the only thing Zambians would say is shame Masebo is dead.”
Reacting to Masebo call, PF Cadre Brian Hapunda said:
“On my own accord I will not contribute towards their Tax Fundraising venture Account for this simple reason that each time i bought a Post Newspaper Copy, I was paying my Tax contribution to ZRA through the Post but Bwinjimfumu elected not to remit my Tax Contribution to ZRA through to the people of Zambia reasons best known to themselves!”
The PF government has however distanced itself from the closure of The Post Newspaper and has refused to bow to demands to have the Newsapaper reopen. The government says the decision to close The Post was legal and carried out by an institution created by an Act of Parliament.
The Post; the paper that digs deeper will soon remind the loosing candidate that we told you that you will loose.
DATS STUPID
Why waste money? They know themselves why they acrued K58m. Let the direct beneficiaries who want favourable coverage contribute. The problem is also that Mr. Member is ‘The Post’ and ‘The Post’ is Mr. Member. He is an institution by himself.
On my own accord I will not contribute towards their Tax Fundraising venture Account for this simple reason that each time i bought a Post Newspaper Copy, I was paying my Tax contribution to ZRA through the Post but Bwinjimfumu elected not to remit my Tax Contribution to ZRA through to the people of Zambia reasons best known to themselves!”
It’s not tax evasion at hand here otherwise somebody would be in the chuks as I write.
The post has simply been delaying to remit tax.
That bitter bitch can sink to her lowest level just to support an illegality. Tax evasion is a serious offence for which one can be imprisoned. Masebo will die of hate for ECL and PF.

Don’t say we but I ok. If you support criminality, not everyone does.
