David Mwalika","speaker":null,"content":"I like what the Government is trying to do - subsiding production. If you subside production, you create employment; if you subsidise at a consumption level, you reduce employment in this country. Some of these subsidies - like what we are seeing now, the fertiliser prices going down - only go to places where tea, coffee, sugar and maize are grown. I was just wondering when farmers from ASALs, like you and I are going to get subsidies."}
