DEFENSE Minister Ambrose Lufuma has disclosed that Government will prioritize the welfare of the Zambian people by ensuring that no genetically modified organisms-GMO mealie meal is offloaded on the Zambia market.
Addressing the Media on Thursday afternoon after a tour of the Kazungula Border, Lufuma noted that Government has put up strict measures to ensure that no imported mealie meal gets to the Zambian boarders.
