Kapoche Member of Parliament says people in his constituency are in urgent need of relief food.
Professor Fashion Phiri says though there was a marked increase in the amount of
maize sold to the Food Reserve Agency (FRA), most of it came from Mozambique.
He said people in the constituency had little or no maize to sell to FRA and are in
need of relief food.
Professor Phiri who is also foreign affairs deputy minister revealed this at a
consultative meeting with civic leaders in the area held at Petauke council chamber
today.
The Kapoche Mp said the Provincial Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit was
misinformed about the hunger situation in his constituency.
Professor Phiri assured the councillors in Kapoche that he was going to look into
the hunger situation soon.
