#2 Big Pipe,
You have summed it up so well.

Maxwell Mwale has even more serious allegations levelled against him – selling prospecting and mining licences to his relatives and business associates, so he does not qualify for any immunity from prosecution.His is not only a simple theft, but a serious economic crime because mining is the lifeline of our country!!
Correction: “……… not only a case of simple theft, but ……..”
