MY CASINO ‘RAID’ AT 2AM TODAY Covid 19 guidelines

- MILES SAMPA

Dear editor,

Lastnight around midnight I inspected Kanyama Constituen­cy for Covid 19 Guidelines adherence and indeed most pubs were closed except one called Eliba that had a few patrons. I gave them masks and spoke to the manager present to wind up and close. He obliged.

Then randomly on my way from Kanyama using Lumumba road, I noticed a lot of vehicles at the Great

Wall Casino. I stopped and inspected inside. There were a lot of people and possibly over 50 in gambling sessions.

I asked the manager that they close instant. He was very uncooperat­ive, rude and physically harassed one of the Boba TV crew who was and always do carry my night operations live. I actually lost my cool and very happy now that I did not evoke my Matero minimal 'reserves' left in me on the expatriate Casino manager.

This morning I recommende­d to the relevant officials at LCC to suspend the Trading License of the Casino that is proudly contraveni­ng all various Covid 19 guidelines. The relevant official that is responsibl­e for all Council night patrols seen closing

Bars in the compounds is a Mr

Edward Mulwanda (Director of Health). I told him to avail me by 2pm a Copy of suspension of the LCC Trading License for this Casino until they exculpate themselves.

It's 6pm and he has NOT done so. Clear defiance.

Anyone ever wondered why I used to grab licences myself off walls for law breaking entreprene­urs in the City?

Anyways for anything hereon on Casinos in the City that are operating ubushiku (past 23hrs), please call the Relevant officials at LCC.
