Malawi Vice President Jane Ansah told people at Kaporo Primary School Ground in Karonga District that anyone caught flipping government relief maize to vendors will get prosecuted, along with whoever buys it from them. She dropped the warning while handing out food supplies under the Lean Season Food Insecurity Response Programme, and she told folks living in flood zones to bounce because heavy rains are coming this season.
Paramount Chief Kyungu backed the government handout but called out locals who skipped farming to drink beer instead. DoDMA Commissioner Wilson Moleni stressed that the maize needs to hit actual struggling households and not get wasted.
Karonga District has around 14,000 people getting assistance, and 540 families from Kaporo grabbed their share during the event.
