ZACA calls for a complete overhaul of FRA

The Zambia Consumer Association (ZACA) has called for a complete overhaul of the Food Reserve Agency (FRA).

ZACA Executive Director Muyunda Ililonga says an overhaul of the institution is needed in order to seal loop holes, stop maize thefts and ensure transparency in its operations especially during the maize marketing seasons.

Mr. Ililonga’s comment comes in the wake of a crackdown on the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) maize thefts.

Joint investigative wings of government recently seized 10 vehicles worth millions of Kwacha and arrested three men and a lady in connection with the FRA maize fraud.

The three men and a lady are being investigated for having received payments from different FRA depots for maize which they never supplied.
