Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Socialist Party President Fred M\u2019membe has reiterated his challenge to the United Party for National Development(UPND) government to explain why it single-sourced Maurice Jangulo\u2019s Alpha Commodities to supply 37,000 tonnes of fertilizers at $1,407 per tonne while the general market price is $1,000 per tonne \u2013 stealing an additional $15.059 million from the Zambian people in in what he described as super-profits.<\/p>\n

In a post on Facebook, Dr M\u2019membe said that Nitrogen Chemicals of Zambia (NCZ) was given to supply 13,000 tonnes of fertilisers at $1,000 per tonne and on top of this Jangulo had no stocks of fertilizers and started going around trying to source the commodity from his competitors whom he had discredited in an audit he had initiated and influenced.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe challenge this government to explain why Jangulo was allowed to control, direct, manipulate and falsify a fertiliser audit under its supervision and control. This is pure corruption that this government and the state agencies \u2013 ACC, DEC and the police \u2013 under its control have failed to deal with. Why?<\/p>\n

\u201cOur simple and only explanation is that Jangulo is too close to the key leaders of this government to be touched. He is their partner \u2013 he works and eats with them. Clearly, this government\u2019s fight against corruption has gone down the drain,\u201d the statement concluded.<\/p>\n
