Eastern Province Permanent Secretary Chanda Kasolo says the striking clearing Agents at Mwami Border in risk being charged with Economic sabotage.
Mr. Kasolo says the strike action by the Clearing Agents on both sides of the Malawi and Zambia Mwami border is tantamount to Economic Sabotage.
ZANIS reports that Eastern Province Permanent Secretary Chanda Kasolo told the Clearing Agents at the border that government will consider revoking the operating licenses of the clearing agents if they do not immediately resume operations.
Speaking during an meeting with Clearing Agents which was also attended by ZRA Commissioner General Kingsley Chanda, Mr Kasolo government has lost millions of kwacha since Monday saying they ( the Agents ) have risked being charged with economic sabotage as the country has not only lost revenue .
“ K4.3 million worth of exports and K3.5 million imports have been marooned since Monday . The move by the agents is tantamount to economic blackmail hence they have risked the relationship between Malawi and Zambia, “ he said.
The visibly annoyed Mr Kasolo who did not allow the clearing agents to speak said the agents have also risked the security of the nation and relationship between Zambia and Malawi.
Mr Kasolo suspects that the clearing agents have hidden motives as they are not only demanding the removal of the station manager but also want his predecessor who is currently on suspension to be reinstated.
And ZRA commissioner General Kingsley has warned the clearing agents that they will be blacklisted if they do not resume work by the end of the day.
He stated that their businesses that will not submit the entries will have their license revoked saying there is damaging to Zambia’s export market.
He states that the transporters have lost money as they need to move in order to make money and not by sitting at the border.
Since last Monday clearing agents downed tools demanding the immediate removal of Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) station manager, Vincent Ngulube.
The move has seen over 200 trucks have been marooned at Mwami border as a result .
Threats,threats this is the hallmark of dick taking regimes, why not listen to their grievances, bane ba pf protests are the blood or oil that gives life to democracy.
kikikikikikikikikikiki
Is it HH in sighting them again?
Everyone has a hidden motive against PF…what type of reporting is this onesided lets hear from the agents.
If Ngulube was upright in discharge of duty, the agents wouldn’t demand for his removal. So it is actually this Ngulube causing these loses in revenue collection.
All in all, OF Government has lamentably failed to govern our beautiful country. All we see is chaos on daily basis in every part of the country.
Lungu has failed to govern our country. He should be assisted to leave State House before it is too late!
What are they saying is wrong with Ngulube?
Could it be the might HH at it again ba PF? Kkkkkhahahakkkkk
Meant to say ‘mighty’
It must be HH and UPND inciting them and puting the country at risk ??
Kudos, politico ??
In fact it’s just been revealed not only is the Mighty H.H. responsible for the strike at Mwami Border post, but he’s also responsible for buying the expensive aircraft for “V.V.I.P’s whilst Zambians starve, & loot fuel from a locomotive in Ndola.
Uyu H.H is so powerful, he even purchased 42 Wheelbarrows, sold Jean Kapata’s Mukula, & has caused ba Jona to turn up drunk for work.
BAD MAN H.H, VERY BAD MAN!!
Lol, you have really finished me mwe!
