On agriculture, the Vice-President said Government will pay all farmers who supplied maize to the Food Reserve Agency -FRA.
She said Government had initially planned to purchase 500,000 metric tonnes of maize but had bought more than 2.7 million metric tonnes.
Mrs. NALUMANGO said Government has developed a funding plan to meet its payment obligations through the national budget, borrowing from commercial banks and revenue from maize sales.
She also advised farmers against selling all their maize, urging them to retain enough for household food security amid forecasts of an El Niño weather pattern.
