In a televised address to the nation, Malawi President Lazarus Chakwera fired Agriculture Minister Lobin Lowe and his deputy to immediate effect for “incompetence and gross negligence.”
Chakwera did not mince his words on Tuesday evening as he described how Lowe allegedly failed to supply Malawi’s 3.3 million smallholder farmers with inputs and fertiliser from the Affordable Imputs Programme (AIP).
