Masi: We are
working tirelessly

Speaking during a Southern Region sensitisation workshop in Blantyre, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development Aggrey Masi said his ministry is acting aggressively to ensure success towards getting rid of the army worms which he described as having negatively affected the farming season.

He said: “We are working tirelessly towards addressing this problem.”

Controller of Agriculture, Extension and Technical Services in the ministry, Albert Changaya, echoed the minister’s sentiments, saying they were trying to look at the best way possible to control the army worms.

In the proposed 2017/18 National Budget, government has allocated K135 million towards the fight against the army worms, with donors pumping in about K500 million outside the budgetary allocation for the cause. n
