Cotton farmers in Chikwawa have expressed concern after what they were promised by Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)-United Democratic Front (UDF) Alliance running-mate, Atupele Muluzi during campaign two weeks ago has not come to pass.
The young Muluzi assured the farmers in the district to bring the cash crop to the Admarc as money used for buying was readily available.
This has brought anger among the farmers and has left them in stranded situation as nobody is coming in to buy their commodity, nearly two weeks after they adhered to the young Muluzi’s call.
Farmers who visited Ngabu Admarc Market have openly expressed their anger and disappointment, as they believe authorities are taking them for granted after they joyfully responded to the authoritative call by President Peter Mutharika’s official partner in the forthcoming Presidential polls.
Chamanga Valeta, who is the Chairperson of the farmers said “there is no-one around telling us anything concrete not even the top most boss Jumbe whom we have called several times is telling anything convincing”.
