“Govt didn’t Directly sell Maize to Tanzania”

By Patricia Banda

Vice President MUTALE NALUMANGO has clarified that the Government did not directly sell maize to Tanzania.

Mrs. NALUMANGO has also explained that there has not been any negotiations between the two countries on the sale of maize.

She disclosed that the maize that was sold is from farmers because they had not been paid by the previous administration.

Mrs. NALUMANGO was responding to Pambashe Member of Parliament RONALD CHITOTELA who asked the Government to clarify if there were negotiations to sell maize to Tanzania.

This was during the Vice President’s question time in Parliament.

Meanwhile, Mrs NALUMANGO has advised Members of the public not to riot over challenges of electricity and other economic challenges as the government is working hard to solve them.

She said this in response to a question from Mufulira Member of Parliament GOLDEN MWILA who wanted to know what the Government is doing to address economic challenges.
