PF govt wont buy maize if voted into power – Chanda

Share

Patriotic Front (PF) aspiring ward councilors have disclosed that their party will not be in the position to purchase maize next year if it is elected into office in this years presidential and general elections.

Aspiring ward councilors said the party will not purchase 2011/2012 agricultural produce because MMD government would have exhausted funds and that the new government will have no money to buy the agricultural produce from peasant farmers’ country wide.

The ward councilors accused MMD government of spending huge sums of money in order for PF government to find it hard to carry out its functions if elected into office next year.

Speaking on behalf of aspiring councilors, Kanfinsa ward aspirant Moses Chanda said Rupiah Banda’s administration has embarked on infrastructure development this year aimed at crippling Patriotic Front (PF) if it is elected into office.

He said, following the misuse of government funds by MMD government, it is automatic that the new government will not purchase maize from peasant farmers, if they (farmers) decide to intensify their farming activities this year.

It is a known factor that the MMD government has deliberately begun a vigorous infrastructure development country wide which will require spending huge sums of money leaving the country bankrupt.

Mr. Chanda, however, appreciates government for embarking on infrastructure development saying even if MMD loses the election people will benefit and that the standards of living will be uplifted especially in remote areas.

He said Luwingu is one of the districts which has also benefited in these infrastructure development especially in health, education, and the tarring of Kasama Luwingu road.

Mr. Chanda further appealed to the government to speed up the construction of lupososhi high school situated in chief Chabula area and the tarring of township roads.

  8. #13 Didn’t Guy Scott say recently that pf dont have an agriculture policy? If farmers were not happy with the govt’s policies, they certainly would not have produced the BIGGEST BUMPER HARVEST in our nation’s history. It is these same people who will ensure that it is MMD nafuti, nafuti.

WHY DO THEY WANT TO BE VOTED INTO POWER IF NOT FOR SIMPLE REASON LIKE MAKING SURE THEY SELL ALL THE AGRIC PRODUCE AND RAISE FUNDS. SURELY THEY DONT PAY CASH WHEN THEY BUY FROM LOCAL FARMERS……WHY NOT THEN EXPORT, GET FUNDS, PAY THE LOCAL FARMERS AND ………HONESTLY IF THEY CAN PLAN TO FERRY CADRES TO RALLIES THEY MAY AS WELL COME UP WITH EVEN BETTER PLANS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE THAN MMD. VIVA KAPONYAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!VIVA PA FWAKA!!!!!!!!!!!!
