SELLOUTS OF ZAMBIA MUST NOT SEEK PUBLIC OFFICE
Anyone that was part of government in 2017 and 2018 are sellouts. They allowed over 70 000 kgs of emerald out of our country and they must be held liable for Zambia’s current economic woes.
Let me take you through on how much emerald is.
Emerald is sold in carats
1kg is 5000 carats
Price per carat
1 carat of good grade emerald is @ $525
1kg thetefore is $2 625 000
Total Emerald Production in 2017
65 242kg
Total value
$2 625 000 x 65242
$171 260 250 000
So in 2017 PF could have paid all our national debt if we jave control over emerald mines
The value is equivalent to over 20 years of Zambia’s national budget.
This is why l insist that Zambia is not a poor country. If you love this country vote very wisely and give UPPZ under UPPZ President Charles Chanda an opprtunity to rule
