UPND Chairman for Rural Reconstruction and Development Moono Mapani says government’s insistence that it will maintain the Maize flow price at K75 per 50Kg is disappointing and retrogressive.

Mr. Mapani says if this remains unchecked, it has potential to be source of reference for the private sector to exploit farmers.

Mr. Mapani says it is disappointing that government does not want to listen to the cries of farmers over this year’s maize floor price.

He says the same way they have rejected an innocent appeal by farmers to adjust the price upwards is the same way they will be rejected in a ballot.

Mr. Mapani says Zambians must be worried that they have a government that does not listen to their cries.
