Zambians have a right to know how Zambia National Oil Company (ZNOC) "lost" US $100 million, Lusaka Central FDD member of parliament Dipak Patel has said. Patel said it was inherently wrong for the government not to cause an inquiry as to why and how ZNOC "lost" approximately $100 million. "By simply appointing a liquidator the government is attempting to cover up mismanagement and corruption that took place at ZNOC," Patel said.
