Scores of Kasama residents have bemoaned the reluctance by millers in the district to reduce the mealie meal price.
Speaking during an interview with ZANIS, Caroline Mulenga a resident of Newtown town ship said the cost of living is too high and the miller’s failure to reduce the price of mealie meal has greatly contributed to this.
Mrs Mulenga added that it is unfair for Zambians in other districts to buy mealie meal at lower prices while the people of Kasama are buying the same commodity at exorbitant prices.
She appealed to the millers in the district to reduce the price of mealie meal to cut down on the high cost of living currently being experienced by people of Kasama district.
Another resident, Musonda Mukuka of Central town said it is unfair for the people in Kasama not to enjoy the benefits of the price reduction of mealie-meal announced by government recently.
Mr Mukuka added that it is an offence to ignore government directives and millers in the district should face the law for failing to adhere to the directive.
He appealed to the authority in the district to liaise with the millers and take the necessary step to insure that the millers implement the new prices for the staple food.
Government last month directed all millers around the country to reduce the price of mealie meal.
However, millers in Kasama have continued selling the commodity using the old price.
According to a survey carried out by ZANIS, a 25 Kilogramme bag of breakfast mealie-meal is going at K70 while the same quantity bag of roller meal is selling at K54.
Well, izaminyokola njala lelo!
You’re the same people when elections come up, you vote for PF just b’coz of their slared cheap bacon strips & after winning they abandoned you then cry foul.
Next time vote wisely, for now face reality & consequences of voting for visionless PF. The economy & kwacha are rotting, the living embodiment of Zambians is in shambolic catastrophe of PF.
Wake up from slumber & vote wisely! First imi nyokoleko njala.
The Skeleton Key
~206~
Rubbish rants of a bitter person who always drinks and eats hatred.
…Spot on skeleton. The people are complaining like this today, when election time come, they still vote for the Paya Farmer party.
They are insane because they continue doing the same wrong thing everytime and they want to get new results, nonsense!!!
First, for the next 16 months lekani njala iminyokoleni that’s when you shall start thinking properly and try another party other than PF.
Vote for UPND, if it fails to deliver, then kick it out in 2021!
You think only HH can bring economic development in Zambia? What a shallow thinking. Thats why Zambians will not vote for your UPND coz your thinking is just dull to the least. Shame on you.
The food will be there soon no need to worry we are a working government.
