-- Zambian fuel transporters have called on authorities to retaliate the measures taken by Tanzanian authorities to charge Zambian transporters 200 U.S. dollars for an entry work permit.

Benson Tembo, the association's general-secretary said the amount charged was too much and that it was affecting their overall income from business. He said it was unfair for Tanzania authorities to charge them when Zambia was not charging Tanzanian transporters. (Times of Zambia) Endit
