MOPANI COPPER MINES TRANSACTION NOT COVERED UNDER ARTICLE 210 OF ZAMBIAN CONSTITUTION
ATTORNEY General Mulilo Kabesha says the Mopani Copper Mines transaction is not covered under Article 210 of the Constitution and therefore does not require approval of the National Assembly.
Mr Kabesha said in a statement yesterday that Article 210 applies in cases involving the sale, transfer or disposal of a “major state asset” which includes a parastatal and equity held by Government.
He said Mopani is neither a parastatal nor a company in which Government has equity because it is incorporated under the Companies Act, which is a separate legal entity from Government, with transactions involving its issued shares being governed by the regulatory framework of the Act.

John sangwa is misleading the unsuspecting public. The AG has ably articulated the issue.
The Attorney General has guided!
Nisamvele chinagu saying Mfwiti Mfwiti Mfwiti … Kikikiki
Zambians should learn to be nice to one another!
Why are Zambians so vindictive and wicked these days, crucifying one another day and night?
Not fit to be called Christian Nation!
No wonder we have too much high blood pressure pa Zed!
You stress each other too much!
Law must not be used as shield to do wrong .Similarly,kack of guidance from ourvconstitution should not be an advantage to do wrong.I should not insult because police will arrest me but i should not insult because it is wrong and unechical.
Parastatal means government-owned. Mopani was ZCCM-IH-owned. At law, ZCCM-IH-owned is not the same as government-owned. You cannot own a legal entity that has its own personality because its existence is separate from the shareholders. What you can own are shares in it but owning those shares is not the same as owning the legal entity. That’s the law for dummies.
