Professor Luo says the PF is on the right track to save the mining industry which was disturbed by privatization saying some investors were arm twisting government so that Zambians do not benefit from the mines.

Professor Luo was speaking in Chingola when she addressed former miners and assured them that the PF is concerned about their plight.

She urged the former miners not to be cheated by some politicians who were behind the privatization of the mines saying they have nothing to offer them.

And Professor Luo’s campaign manager Given Lubinda urged the miners to take advantage of various programs undertaken by government so that they can venture in other activities such as agriculture.
