By Mary Kachepa

Vice President MUTALE NALUMANGO says President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA has not appointed any party cadres to hold Constitutional office at the Electoral Commission of Zambia -ECZ-.

Mrs. NALUMANGO says President HICHILEMA has appointed Zambians who are qualified to hold the positions.

She says the President is extremely careful when he makes appointments to key positions in the governance of the country

The Vice President said this in response to Leader of Opposition in Parliament BRIAN MUNDUBILE who said the ECZ and the Judicial Complaints Commission are now run by party cadres.

This was during the Vice President’s question time in the National Assembly.

Meanwhile Mrs. NALUMANGO said there is maize that will go to the Millers in the country from the Food Reserve Agency -FRA- but she is not in a position to state whether or not it will mitigate the price.

Mrs. NALUMANGO said agriculture is a business and there is enough maize to be exported to neighbouring countries.

She said this in response to Mkaika Member of Parliament PETER PHIRI who wanted to know if government is aware that maize is being exported when the price of mealie meal is high.

And Mrs. NALUMANGO said she will engage the Ministry of Agriculture to ensure speedy delivery of inputs under the Farmer Input Support Programme -FISP.

She was responding to Petauke Member of Parliament EMMANUEL BANDA who said only ten beneficiaries are able to get their inputs per day in his Constituency.
