Geoffrey Odanga","speaker":null,"content":"I attended a meeting in Kampala recently on the African Grain Trade. It was noted that we do not have enough grains in East Africa. We are importing them from war-torn countries like Russia and Ukraine, yet we have fertile soils and enough rainfall. Hon. Haji, what are we doing? We have a strong workforce which is idle; our youth. How do we put them to use? These are issues that we need to address to ensure that we have food security and good nutrition for our children."}
