    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I just want to commend on a comment that was made that the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations needs to distribute relief food. Please, we should not distribute relief food. It is better to distribute cash to people. Research has been done by the organization that I used to work for and it was found that distribution of foodstuff is more expensive than distribution of cash. People are much more empowered when they get cash. Once you are given the cash, you determine your prioritization. Where I come from, people are sometimes given maize and they do not eat maize. They used to boil it and give it to goats. Giving of food as relief has been overtaken by events."
