Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Hon. Nkaku Kabi has on Tuesday announced that the ministry is working towards settling the remaining debts of wool and mohair<\/p>\n

farmers. These debts had been allocated in the M10 million subvention, from which arrears amounting to M8 million have been settled. Kabi said the payments are expected<\/p>\n

to be completed between November and December this year. He said this follows the initiative by the government whereby it procured M10 million to pay the farmers after the broker Stone Shi failed to pay these farmers.<\/p>\n

Shi had asked the government to intervene in this matter earlier this year, admitting that he will owe the government of Lesotho thereafter. The minister further said they are still in the preparations for the payment<\/p>\n

process and once they are done, they will physically deliver the payments to the farmers\u2019 households. \u201cWe will make arrangements with the Minister of Defence<\/p>\n

and borrow a chopper to go to the remote areas and deliver the payments to the farmers,\u201d he said. He disclosed that these are the farmers who do not have bank<\/p>\n

accounts and live in remote areas where there is no network for mobile money. These are residents in five districts; Qacha\u2019s Nek, Quthing, Maseru, Thaba-Tseka and Berea.<\/p>\n
