Government warns unlicensed money lenders

GOVERNMENT has warned individuals and companies operating money lending businesses without valid licences that they risk prosecution as such operations are illegal under the Laws of Zambia.

In a public notice issued through the Office of the secretary to the treasury, the Ministry of Finance and National Planning said all money lenders must comply with the provisions of the Money Lenders Act, Cap 398, which requires anyone conducting money lending business to obtain a licence.

The ministry urged those currently operating illegally to regularise their status without delay.

“This serves to remind individuals and companies conducting money lending business that they are required, under the Money Lenders Act, to acquire a money lending licence,” the notice read.

“Be warned that operating a money lending business without a valid licence is an offence under the Laws of Zambia.”

Authorities further directed both existing and prospective money lenders to apply for or renew their licences through the Office of the Accountant General under the Ministry of Finance and National Planning.

The ministry outlined several requirements for obtaining a licence, including registration with the Patents and Companies Registration Agency (PACRA) and a valid tax clearance certificate from the Zambia Revenue Authority, or a Taxpayer Identification Number (TPIN) for individuals.

Applicants are also required to obtain a police clearance certificate, with fingerprints needed for company directors, as well as a money lender’s certificate issued by a magistrate or subordinate court.

According to the Bible in the Book of Numbers, God instructed Moses to create a sculpture of a snake.
Here are the key details regarding this event:
The Command (Numbers 21:8): After the Israelites complained against God and Moses, God sent poisonous "fiery serpents" among the people, causing many to die. When the people repented, God told Moses to "make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole".
The Promise (Numbers 21:8): God promised that "everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live".
The Ex*****on (Numbers 21:9): Moses made a snake out of bronze (or brass) and mounted it on a pole.
The Result (Numbers 21:9): Whenever someone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze serpent, they were healed and lived.
Significance and Later History:
Symbol of Faith: The bronze snake was not magical itself; rather, it was a test of faith and obedience to God's word.
Symbolism of the Cross: In the New Testament, Jesus references this event, saying, "Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life" (John 3:14-15).
Destruction of the Idol: Years later, in the time of King Hezekiah, the Israelites began to burn incense to the bronze serpent, treating it as an idol. Because of this, Hezekiah destroyed it and called it "Nehushtan" (meaning a thing of brass).

Acts 19:11-12, it is recorded that God performed extraordinary miracles through the Apostle Paul, wherein handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were taken to the sick, resulting in their healing and the expulsion of evil spirits.
What you do with this information is up to you.
