The Timber Producers Association of Zambia President has refuted media reports that he was found in possession of five trucks of Stolen Mukula.
Association President Charles Masange explains that the timber in question is Rosewood and belongs to Kappa Leadership University.
Mr. Masange tells Money FM News that his organization called Chichona was contracted by the university to manufacture desks and other school equipment using the timber.
He adds that commodity was forfeited to the state in 2017 at Chirundu border post and therefore has no illegality attached to it.
The Timber Producers Association resident has therefore called on Media houses to verify information from affected sources before publishing.
Mr. Masange says correct information is important if the country is to progress and achieve the much desired development.
