He said: > The transition or the movement from how we now fund agriculture is that rather than government funding directly through injection of money and treasury bills, we have said to the banks, we will give you guarantees. Play your traditional role as banks. He vehemently dismissed the possibility of having politicians abusing the funds saying that the scheme will no longer be funded from the national budget. Guvamatanga added that the newly introduced electronic voucher system will scare corrupt people away as beneficiaries are required to open bank accounts and be credit rated before being given an electronic voucher they take wherever they pick up the inputs.
