Government says it has put in place measures to control the reported outbreak of army warms in Eastern province.
Agriculture and livestock Minister Wylbur Simuusa says the spraying of insecticides and the installation of army warm traps among others had been done in Chipata’s kasengengwa constituency to effectively control the situation.
Mr. Simuusa said so far no area had been infested with army warms aside from Chipata.
The minister said this in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka today.
He stated that government was adequately prepared to prevent invasion of crops by pests during the farming season.
Mr. Simuusa said his ministry was ready to move in and control any possible outbreak of army warms in various parts of the country.
And the minister said armyworm traps had been installed in selected agriculture camps in Northern Province for early detection of the pests during this farming season.
Each european citizen is entitled to use its mother language in the european parliament, the european commission, in their public speech and correspondence with their public administration.
Except Ethiopia, and the arabic countries, all african countries are using european colonial languages as the only official languages for public administration.
abambo aChipata,
mukamba kamba chani kansi imwe? Icho chizungu ise sitimvela. Kambani mu chiNyanja kapena.
On a tiny continent like Europe, every small ethnic group like the French, the Germans or the Dutch keeps their language, and are entitled to use it as a working language, why on earth on a continent like Africa we won ’t use our own language?
If Europeans were lazy and ignorant like Africans, they would simply say “It’s too complicated.
Here is my call to all Africans who want to fight the colonial languages in our education and public administration.
– Let’s starting forcing our governments to use our languages in public administration.
If for convenience only your government included any native language in your country official languages, start sending letters, and requests to government in that language.
– If you go to public administration refuse to be served in colonial…
…….language, and speak in any of the other official languages which are local.
– If the government or the public administration refuse to serve you in an official language, bring them into court, and have them condemned for refusing to serve citizen in an official language of the country.
– If you have a company start using your native language in your invoices, orders and receipts, and slowly upgrade to make your local language the conversation language inside your company. Do not hire people who can not speak in their local language properly. Slowly upgrade to writing.
@CHIPATA, …… your hypothesis in combating Army Worms by adopting to local languages sounds like a you are at the verge of a huge scientific breakthrough. But I have to admit I do not understand the actual science behind it. Perhaps you can enlighten some of us slow learners? How does this jaw-dropping phenomenon actually work?
