Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo has clarified that the International Narcotics Control Board will regulate the export of marijuana by Zambia once the cultivation of the drug starts for medicinal purposes.
Mr Kampyongo says the market will be provided by the Board and will approve the quantities that can be exported at a particular time by Zambia as is the case with other countries.
He said Zambia will not be able to export without being given a quarter by the Board and will not be allowed to export raw marijuana.
And Mr Kampyongo has assured the nation that regulations will be put in place in line with the existing laws to prevent the abuse and non medicinal use of marijuana by citizens.
He said the Narcotic and Psychiatric Substances Act is in force and the Drug Enforcement Commission will continue to enforce the law.
Mr Kampyongo explained that the International Narcotics Control Board will first need to approve the measures put in place by Zambia without which the production cannot start.
He said the Ministry of Health will soon update the nation on the measures and who should be allowed to produce marijuana in the country.
Problem is that information is given in bits and with contradictions. I don’t know what the $250,000 license fee meant and it was disputed by our beautiful Dora
Since K@!zer was “NOT” sacked, (Dora Siliti) he will be regulating & smoking the Chamba all day since he has lots of free time on his violent hands, & still on Government payroll.
MW@NYA A HIGH KA!ZER WILL STILL BE BOXING YOU, & BREAKING YOUR NECKS!!
You see how the West has taken over the world? You Africans sell your own natural product through their quota. You sell your copper at the LME. They rate your economy through standard and poor. You speak their languages. You pray to their God. You have been completely eliminated from the so-called global village whose chief and headmen are Trump, Macron, Johnson Merkel Mattarela and most Africans seem to be happy with the situation. Even Kampyongo seems to think outsiders have a God given right to monitor his market and produce. Africa wake up!
Who has the money buys the whiskey…..
If you can’t sale them you copper who will buy it? China will buy it but guess what China has to sale to the USA also…
Which ever way you are F….KED those who know this game respect it and make money out of it. The problem is African are to DULL to understand how the world economy works.
Why are Africans like this? Why should a White man dictate when and how you should sell your resources?? Africa is still in slavery. Not physical slavery, but mental and economic slavery. And the way he is announcing with pride that he is still an economic slave speaking on behalf of his Master. This is sad and hurtful at the same time. African Leaders need to unite and revolt against this injustice
Africa is still in slavery. Not physical slavery, but mental and economic slavery.
A country going into cannabis means it is
completely bankrupt.This is last option for a country which has failed to generate
any income.Nobody can stop it now as it
has been decided by the goverment of the
day.lets wait to see the good and bad of it.
Do your homework first as government . Then come to the public and provide a well researched modalities and a well consulted position. This will dispel fears we have on the topic under discussion knowing the impact it causes on communities. The economic efforts should not destroy our good morals.
What a joke of a country when an official such as this talks this way. This country does not need to cultivate ANY psychtrophic drugs to sustain itself. GROW food and ENABLE Zambians to sustain themselves. What bs.
Being hard-headed about it, with any substance the obvious calculation is: does the likely tax revenue from a legal, regulated trade adequately compensate for the medical and social problems that are likely to result? If not, prohibit it. Otherwise tax it.
