Traditional leaders in the country have expressed concern over the low number of subsidized farm inputs that are being distributed in parts of the country by the Malawi government.
Group Village Headman (GVH) Nzeru from Blantyre made the complaint after his subjects received 300 bags of subsidy fertilizer to cater for 5,000 households.
Speaking to the local media, GVH Nzeru said that even though this is the rainy season, the government has not yet provided the remaining inputs to the residents.
He added that he is falling to answer some of the questions that his subjects are asking regarding the Farm Input Subsidy Program (Fisp).
He further revealed that chiefs from other areas in the district are also complaining over the same issue. Commenting on the issue, one of the beneficiaries, Mary Phiri, described the Fisp inputs as inadequate saying they will not be enough for her land.
She explained that other people in the community have lost hope as they were told to wait for 10 days for another consignment of the inputs.
According to our findings, some parts of the country are also falling to access the subsidized items while in some parts where the inputs are available, they are being sold at a higher price than the government set price.
Malawi24 has also learnt that the program has left out a lot of needy people in the country.
More help is needed

Don’t despise the chiefs. Their words represent majority of malawians at grassroot, u will need them sometime in future. A piece of advice to chiefs, take care, some of u are politicians hiding in chiefdom u take sides too much in politics forgetting that gvt comes and goes out with time but ur chiefdom will still exist despite change of gvt.

Sometimes I don’t understand, opposition is saying subsidy must stop, the money wastage as reason these selfish politicians are giving, now see these chiefs are busy saying government is not helping because they have give a small number of beneficiaries,
