Musokotwane claims that no Chinese loan existed for the earlier project. That is factually incorrect. The Auditor-General records that a US$187 million credit facility was agreed with Jiangxi Bank in May 2019 to finance 15 per cent of the contract.

It was a Jiangxi Bank credit facility, not imaginary money created by the learned counsel.
