Government has urged Malawians to report anyone found selling subsidised fertilizer at a higher price so that such culprits should be dealt with.
This is coming at a time when there are reports that some traders are selling fertilizer under the Farm Input Subsidy Programme (FISP) at a higher price than the set amount of K7,500 per 50Kg bag.
Minister of agriculture, irrigation, and water development George Chaponda said anyone found doing such malpractices must be fired immediately.
The minister said this during a visit to Blantyre Agriculture Development Division where he went to inspect crops as well as appreciate how the subsidy program is fairing.
“We understand that some traders want to make profits but the price being administered is not the one required and if anyone is found they must be fired,” said Chaponda.
He added that some traders are even having two receipt books so that they sell the subsidised fertilizers at a higher price which is for their benefit.
Chaponda further said that such a price is not good for Malawians and such acts must not be condoned as they are not in the best interest of farmers.
Other reports show that traders are selling the subsidised fertilizer to vendors while turning away actual beneficiaries.
This year Farm Inputs Subsidy Program distribution was delayed of which experts in the country said it would affect farmers in a way that they would plant late as well as harvest late.
The banks have themselves to blame. One of the institutions that I bank with is OIBM. Due to the nature of my business, I make daily deposits and regular withdrawals. Recently the bank has started charging MK500/withdrawal. This mean I stand to be paying MK10000 to MK15000 per month in withdrawal charges only. Does the Bank expect me to stick around with these charges?
Where can I report chaponda?

Chiponda is the one.
Why not those selling maize at ADMARC at a higher price.Should they be not reported for arrest?
Can a fifth arrest another fifth.? No way.let them smuggle and use them we want to have our own maize. You have robbed us for so long. Its Zambia maize story every where a rest them please we want to see that.
Ironicaly, it was caponda himself who made this call. Shameless, has no feelings for malawians.
