Some unscrupulous businessmen have invaded Shangombo deceiving villagers to sell their animals at cheep prices telling them that government will soon slaughter livestock due to the swine and bird flu (H1N1))in the country.
The businessmen have been going round Shangombo villages deceiving people to sell their domestic animals at cheaper prices for fear that government would kill them due to the presence of the flu.
Speaking in an interview , Shangombo District Block Extension Agriculture Station Officer, Joseph Chipoya confirmed that villagers were being deceived by unscrupulous businessmen who wanted to buy their domestic animals at cheaper prices.
Mr Chipoya said the villagers blocked him at one time from collecting data in the field because they thought he was a government worker who had gone to kill their animals.
And Shangombo District Commissioner Misheck Kabayo has said that he would instruct police and relevant authorities to investigate the matter because there was no such information on the ground from government.
Mr Kabayo noted that the businessmen are just up to exploiting the villagers.
He has since warned villagers to be careful with such people because they would end up losing their animals.
The unscrupulous businessmen are taking advantage of the villagers’ ignorance on the swine flu situation in the country and deceiving villagers that government will fine them K50, 000 per animal found with the flu.

This is what happens when things are left to ‘the market’ and there are no regulations on that market. Hard working people get ripped off and stolen from.
There should be internet and pricing available in local councils, where people can read national prices. There should also be a guaranteed minimum prices, guaranteed by the state.
Farmers should never be discouraged from farming, because the production of food is a national security issue.
Imaging writing a software program, and someone coming along and stealing your work and selling it at a higher price. What could be more discouraging for you as a developer? Farmers must be protected from such charlatans.
