ESCALATING COST OF MEALIE MEAL IN THE COUNTRY WORRIES MSONI
Written by Mafken FM Newsroom on 23 July 2023
The opposition All Peoples Congress Party President, Nason Msoni says the escalating prices of mealie meal should be a source of concern for all political leaders in the country.
He says the rise in prices of the staple food on the market has effectively overtaken the capacity of the overwhelming majority of the Zambian people in affording its normal cost, adding that, at the current cost many citizens are going without food.
Mr Msoni points out that the role of government should not be about issuing of unsolicited warnings on the possible looming of a food crisis in the country, but must be about intervening on the food crisis by helping to find a lasting solution to the problem.
