I think someone high up in Lazy Lungu’s govt is involved in this illegal activity as they seem to be very organised…simply follow the money.
one tonne of Mukula is $25000.
This consignment alone is $100,000.
Jean the Baptist…corrupt to the core…
Kekekeke but guys…
Mukula the baptist woman official is working 24/7 to finish our trees.
Even after empounding the truck with Mukula tree, the one leader will say bring evidence.
By the way when they impound, where do those logs go? Who takes care of them for many years because no story follows thereafter.
At palace for all places sure
2050- Zambia, a desolate barren desert. Temperatures in the mid 40’s In October. Battles over water rights. Is it too late to save mother Zambia?
Why “suspected” mukula logs?
At the Palace sure. The Chief is the first suspect and should be arrested and investigated. This is not ECL or HH, but the Chief who is corrupt. Maybe not paid enough dues by the Government, hence is allowing deforestation in his own Kingdom. SHAME ON THIS CHIEF
