At every pay-out, the pyrethrum farmers used to buy new pick-ups. Today, even to afford a bicycle would be a miracle, because they have not been paid for more than a year. When we used to visit pyrethrum farmers those days, they had the most beautiful wives. These days, I am not very sure whether they can get those beautiful wives because they have not been paid for one year."}
