Nkhatabay West parliamentarian Chrispine Mphande has proposed the legalisation of Indian Hemp also known as chamba.

Mphande told Parliament that Malawi is losing out as the crop attracts huge returns on the international market.

He said the traditionally grown Indian Hemp would replace Malawi’s major forex earner, Tobacco which it’s sales have dwindled.

The legislator argues that most Malawians cannot grow industrial hemp as it attracts a huge investment.
