Olekina","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":407,"legal_name":"Ledama Olekina","slug":"ledama-olekina"},"content":"Look at what is happening today; there is war now in Ukraine and Russia where we import a lot of wheat from and sanctions have been imposed to Russia. There is no way that this war will not affect our people. Very soon - whether we are in a political season or whether we want to agree and separate facts from fiction - the price of unga will go high; the price of unga ngano will make eating chapati or bread a luxury because it will become too expensive. I do hope that the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Irrigation, when formulating its own budget, can be able to try and invest in local solutions to improve our food security."}
