ZNS Unleashed To Compliment ZAF in ‘Shooting’ Army Worms

President Edgar Lungu has regretted the absence of members of Parliament in the fight against Army Worms.
President Lungu says although largely under control, the pests still pose potential danger to the prospective good crop yield in the 2016-2017 farming season.
The President has since directed the Ministry of Agriculture to give a comprehensive assessment report on the operation in a week’s time.
He has also called on the Zambia National Service-ZNS to immediately join the emergency operation to help effective ground operation to complement the aerial spraying the DMMU will carry out with the help of the Zambia Airforce.
And President Lungu has directed that the procurement process of early maturing seed for purposes of replanting in the affected areas be completed soonest so that the seed can be dispatched.
The outbreak of Army Worms has since been declared a national disaster.
