We’ll weed out undeserving FISP beneficiaries - Chasefu MP
I WILL keep a watchful eye on the Farmers Input Support Programme (FISP) to ensure that only deserving farmers are on the scheme, Chasefu Independent Member of Parliament Misheck Nyambose has said.
Mr Nyambose said previ ously, some ghost farmers had been on FISP thereby depriving deserving citizens from benefitting the subsi dised inputs.
He said working with rel evant authorities in his con stituency, he would ensure that only beneficiaries of FISP are served.
Mr Nyambose also dis closed that he had a meet ing with President Hakainde Hichilema last Thursday in Lusaka where they shared his vision for the country and Chasefu constituency in particular.
He pledged to work with President Hichilema be cause he was determined to help him develop his constituency.
Mr Nyambose also ex pressed optimism that the UPND government would improve the agriculture sector because President Hichilema as a farmer him self was concerned about the challenges facing the sector.
“I want to state on behalf of the people of Chasefu how committed and inclu sive our President is on his developmental agenda. I am very convinced that in the next five years this country and Chasefu in particular will not be the same again,” Mr Nyambose said.
He said the President had assured him that the Lundazi - Chama Road woold be worked on, and the stalled Chasefu Boarding Secondary School which is at 80 percent would be com pleted soon.
“Mr Nyambose said the conversation he had with President Hichilema was broad such that he felt ener gised and motivated to con tinue working and support ing him until he succeeded in his agenda to uplift not only the people of Chasefu but Zambia as a whole.
