Utter stupidity of embarrassing and disgraceful scale. Go to the villages, people are hungry and dying.

You should distinguish between people who can pay and those who can’t afford to pay for them size.

Bwana Saukira do not cheat the president. The president is a listening person but do not take advantage to abuse your position. If you are following the weather pattern you have heard of Elninho. We might get less rains or excess which will affect 2015/16 production. If we export the maize in reserves of private business persons we will shortly run short of maize. We do not have Forex reserves to import maize next year, You should have been talking to these businessmen assuring them that government will buy from them next year. Mind you it is cheaper for NFRA… Read more »

Why did government have to buy maize from Zambia if our commercial farmers have surplus of the same commodity? I need to know.

Shocking story indeed. Firstly, why did gvt waste forex on maize importation if the country has more than enough. Secondly, going by what the president’s inconsistences, this statement can only be treated with great caution. What I am seeing in all this is poor communication between GVT and the NFRA. The strategic nature of maize in Malawi calls for seamless updates to the President and te nation at large. Perhaps this is the more reason the nation needs the Access to Information law to avoid this form of mediocrity.

I now understand we have a robot masquerading as a president. Malawi government has been asking donors to assist us with food and now you are saying Malawi has enough maize? For your own information Mr president, I failed to buy Maize at Kasungu ADMARC on 7th December because they are selling in quotas and the quota for that day had been sold. But the time was 10:00 am. Please have common sense sometimes the advice you get is for your own destruction.
