#Zambia we're being ruled by puppets of mining corporations. We have closely looked at the UPND election manifesto, they never promised tax breaks to mining corporations, no open requests for tax breaks exist. So, where are these tax breaks coming from and what is their purpose?
#Zambia while you are paying very high prices on goods and services, your government has gone on to give tax breaks to transnational mining corporations. They have given away money the nation desperately needs to mining corporations that were paying very little or no taxes.
After giving tax breaks, the UPND govt have gone to the IMF to try and borrow money with very onerous conditionalities - conditionalities which will place more austerity measures on you. #Zambia let's wake up!
#Zambia Why has the UPND govt given away billions of dollars in mining tax breaks? Is this out of ignorance? No. They have sold out to transnational mining corporations. They are puppets of transnational mining corporations like Anglo & its foundation, the Brenthurst Foundation.
#Zambia, surely, we need to rise and oppose, challenge these tax breaks and force them to reserve them. Your members of parliament should also be forced to reverse their approval of the budget or else.
