ZAMBIA has rejected the fertiliser donation from Russia but will spend US$330million to buy it from the market, Socialist Party President Fred Mmembe has wondered.
Dr Mmembe wondered Why Zambia had not taken up the fertiliser donation from Russia which had offered a donation of fertilisers.
He said it was shocking that Mr Hakainde Hichilema’s government had not taken up the offer. Why?
“Malawi has taken up its 20,000 metric tonnes Russian fertilisers donation. And Zimbabwe has done the same. Russia has offered 260,000 metric tonnes of fertilizers to African countries,” he said.
Dr Mmembe said Russia had also offered to supply Zambia with oil at very low rates and on very favourable terms but Mr Hichilema’s government had not taken up the offer.
