Obviously Universal Subsidy will not be for commercial farmers

If FISP is a burden, then Universal Subsidy is a mad man’s dream. Does Malawi have the resources to be subsidizing fertilizer for Mulli Brothers, Illovo, Mbabzi Estates, Chitakale etc? Chakwera should not be allowed to cheat Malawians like Bakili Muluzi did about “free fertilizers and free shoes.” Kenako azidzati anthu openga inu ine ndidanenera kuti zimenezi? Chakwera sadziwa kuti ma policy ngati amenewa amabweretsa economic isolation from bilateral and multilateral partners.

Well, Mr. Dausi, DPP and everyone who opposes for the sake of opposing, you keep saying Chakwera criticises but offers no solution’s or alternatives.

Here he is proposing Universal Fertiliser Subsidy which we all know will benefit every smallholder farmers, unlike FISP which is accessible to the elite few.

But Why call for IMMEDIATE stop. Is that advising or demanding. Nobody would be pleased with that approach.

@Basuta Banda, you only don’t follow better what LMC says in his statements. May be bcoz you don’t subscribe to his solutions when he argues. This time you seem to understand and follow simply bcoz you feel the same and you have an interest whatsoever. Most of LMC criticisms do carry with them solutions. Give yourself time from to understand his statements better than just listening from other people. You will end up being misled. @Be humane, Don’t show your ignorance here. You think you are more knowledgeable than LMC. You have just shown that there is nothing you know… Read more »

Much as what Chakwera has said may be good, I wonder where Malawi can find resources to finance the universal subsidy. As a leader, he should not make proposals for the sake of it. He should consider availability of resources given Malawi’s dependency on donors over the years and the current stand of donors. If the donors had objected to targeted subsidy programme as introduced by late Bingu wa Muthatrika, how can they accept universal subsidy now? Mr. Chakwera, tell the Government where to find resources to implement your “brilliant” idea while at the same time ensuring that other sectors… Read more »

Please check your facts first. Which year was a 50kg bag of fertilizer costed K500? Get updated when presenting your points. Mr. Chakwera we don’t need universal fertilizer subsidy but we don’t need the subsidy programme what we want is good and sound policies that will make every person have money to buy the fertilizer. Let us not cheerish poverty but fight its existence

Atsogoleri a DPP ndi atsankho komanso okondera. For the past two years I was working in the Southern region of Malawi – in rural areas – I would think FISP benefits the Lomwe belt where coupons are given to many families unlike in other regions, so the best is what Chakwera is pointing out chifukwa misonkhoyi si ya anthu a region chimodzi ayi.
