Member of Parliament for Kasungu South East, Khumbize Kandodo Chiponda has distributed maize to 1200 families affected by hunger in the constituency.
Speaking to the beneficiaries on Saturday, Chiponda, who is also Minister of Health, bemoaned the tendency of selling farm land saying it contributes to food insecurity amongst households in the district traditionally known to be a food producing hub.
She, therefore, asked the families to get into serious farming and benefit from the good prices for agriculture produce being offered on the market.
Group Village Headman Chambwe lauded the legislator for the donation saying it will ease the food pressure amongst the recipients.
