Speaking to NewsDay Tuesday, an economic commentator Reginald Shoko called on police to double its fight against the smuggling of goods to protect local industry and jobs. Shoko said there is a need for a long term plan to deal with the issue of smuggled goods, especially commercial goods as the scourge negatively impact economic development. Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Minister Kazembe Kazembe recently said various State security organs were involved in joint border patrols to curb illegal migration and the movement of contraband. Kazembe also revealed that drones will be deployed at the country’s borders to curb smuggling, with reports suggesting that smuggling costs Treasury nearly US$1 billion a year in unpaid customs duty. *More: NewsDay* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
