Economic Freedom Fighters President Kasonde Mwenda anticipates that the 2024 National Budget will reflect a further decline in mineral royalty due to government’s continued mismanagement and poor policy direction in the mining sector.
Mr Mwenda says the alarming decline comes despite promises of increased copper production and sound policy direction in the mining sector.
He has since demanded that the mining sector be managed with sound policy direction where mineral resources are utilized to their fullest potential for the benefit of all Zambians.
And Mr Mwenda has advised government to pay attention to fiscal management which has demonstrated a lack of transparency and accountability to ensure a smooth budgetary process.
