Amupanda demands explanation for nationwide FMD livestock restrictions
Job Amupanda, an Affirmative Repositioning MP, has given acting agriculture minister Charles Mubita seven days to explain why nationwide livestock movement restrictions were imposed following detection of foot-and-mouth disease on a commercial farm in the ||Kharas region. Amupanda's lawyers question why the restrictions apply across the country when the disease was detected at a single farm near Karasburg, and warn that failure to respond in writing could lead to legal action or parliamentary intervention.
