Government not listening to rice farmers

Dec 07, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
Rice farmers in the MMA district and probably other parts of the country are planting on lands rented from lessees.
These lands were leased to persons, some of whom know nothing about farming.
Some of these people do not reside in the country and this was done during the previous administration.
These lands should be taken back from these people because their leases did not say that they can rent it.
They should not be sitting at home and profiting from hard working people sweat.
The rightful occupiers should be the ones who are producing the bumber crops for which the Government is taking all the praise.
I do hope that the Government do the right thing by transferring those lands to the real rice farmers and go after the phonies who were robbing the revenue department for years.
