Bishop of Karonga Diocese of the Roman Catholic Church Martin Mtumbuka has called on the Malawi government to address the food crisis that citizens are facing.
Mtumbuka argued that Malawians are struggling to access the staple grains in Admarc depots of the country.
The Catholic leader further expressed sympathy as people spend days on long queues to buy 20 kilograms of maize.
The development follows media reports revealing that most Admarc depots across the country have run out of maize to sell to Malawians who have been affected by hunger.
Meanwhile, Chairperson of Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture, Felix Jumbe, has disclosed that logistical problems are affecting maize delivery in Admarc depots of the country.
Jumbe however said authorities are working around the clock to ensure people have maize for their families in the country.
According to a Malawi Vulnerability Assessment Committee (MVAC) report, about 3 million citizens are food insecure due to devastating floods that hit the country early last year.
