Local maize was mopped up, hoarded then shipped back

The presidential vote on August 8 is increasingly becoming a question of conscience. It is no longer a simple matter of political affiliation and preference. The voter’s choice easily finds itself on the weighing scales of conscience, making it a moral question. The voter is invited to reflect on the uprightness of the candidates on offer.

Moral foundations are, of course, supposed to be weak in politics. That is why we have been told politics is a dirty game. And so I have watched and listened to government with shock and disbelief on the matter of maize imports “from Mexico.”
