The issue around the ban on quail birds is really sad. I don’t think Environment minister Oppah Muchinguri fully grasps the implications of her decisions.

There are banks that gave loans to quail farmers; banning their trade means those people will default on their loans another blow to an already sick financial sector. I think there is a better way of executing her policy framework.
Imagine the big companies that would have importated incubators worth tens of thousands on the pretext of a growing market. You see what investors like is a “boring economy”. They like things that are predictable. They want know tht their money is safe in the long run. When I say investors I am not only referring to foreigners by the way, but also local. Even if the government reverses this decision, which I am sure they will, the damage has already been done. It is not good for the economy.
Instead of saying let’s export this little bird to Europe, where they are so health conscious, we ban it altogether!
