Commerce Minister Felix Mutati has been challenged to apologize for saying that Zambians don’t understand windfall tax. Chingola Central Member of Parliament Wilber Simusa has said that Mr. Mutati insulted Zambians for alleging that Zambians don’t understand windfall tax.
He said that it was unfortunate that the Minister of high caliber could issue such a statement on behalf of the government. Mr. Simusa believes that Zambians understand the windfall tax unlike what the Minister said this week.
He said that Zambians wanted to seriously benefit from the mining activities that were taking place in the country.
He said that it is quite unfortunate that the Zambian government had failed to clearly explain on the proceeds it made from the mining activities.
He added that it was a must that the Minister of Commerce Trade and Industry apologize for the comments he made.
