Some fertilizer guy is about to have a really bad time. A regional official just threw the book at a trader accused of screwing with farmers' supplies. Songwe Regional Commissioner Jabiri Makame ordered cops and fertilizer regulators to finish their probe fast. He wants the Tunduma District trader in court immediately for allegedly cutting his product. Makame called this a national security issue during a warehouse inspection. He said messing with fertilizer directly threatens the country's food supply.
Investigators laid out the sketchy details. A quality control officer, Enriko Enrico Renatus, explained the operation. They found the warehouse was repackaging fertilizer into different bags illegally. The place held a type of D-Compound fertilizer not even approved for use in the country. Authorities also seized bag-sewing machines from the site. The trader did not get caught alone. Officials arrested him together with a truck that was hauling the fertilizer from Dar es Salaam.
