Cotton farmers stranded at Admarc's after Atupele promised market during campaign

The campaign promise by Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)-United Democratic Front (UDF) Alliance runningmate, Atupele Muluzi in which he told cotton farmers in Chikwawa district to immediately bring the cash crop to the Admarc as money used for buying was readily available has plunged dozens of farmers into a stranded situation, as nobody is coming in to buy their commodity, nearly two weeks after they adhered to the young Muluzi’s call.

 

 

Farmers we visited at 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.
