      @MForstater @alieholder @DiarmidOS It's entirely your right to question FT accuracy. Do let us know if you make progress there.

      @alexcobham @alieholder @DiarmidOS avoidance of $2bn on $6.9bn mining exports seems large to accept on hearsay, even if it was in the FT

      @MForstater @alexcobham @alieholder @DiarmidOS Maya, it is worth raising this with @FT. What is their source?

      @vijramachandran @MForstater @alexcobham for some reason this argument has just popped up in my timeline. Multiple sources for Sampa quote.

      @martinhearson @vijramachandran @alexcobham right, but is one politician saying something the same as a 'government estimate'

      @MForstater @vijramachandran @alexcobham it'd be nice to have more to go on than a throw away remark, but the remark is there nonetheless

      @martinhearson @alexcobham I agree he said it. But it is unfeasibly big , basis never published or backed up & not a govt estimate

      @MForstater @alexcobham @vijramachandran i happen to think that the finance minister of Zambia is a better authority on this than you or me

      @MForstater But if you don't like something a govt minister says and can't Google the working, can't just say "so it's not a govt figure"

      @martinhearson I think it is fair enough to tentatively assume something not a govt figure if u find no reference for a govt doc as source?

          @MForstater It's often impossible to find African countries' basic budget docs online. If you want to rule it out you'd need to go there.

          @martinhearson I've looked at budget speeches, budget highlights, ZRA docs. I haven't found it. Its a huge sum. But I can't find a mention
