In his Statement, he said that the Ministry of Agriculture is going to distribute seeds and fertilizer to drought-stricken areas. What is the point of distributing seeds and fertilizer to drought-stricken areas, instead of distributing the same to areas that are not drought-stricken like Kinangop, so that we can produce and feed the drought-stricken areas? Also, I would have expected to hear from the Prime Minister in respect of trees like blue gum, which have caused drought; there should be a Government decision to uproot them immediately."}
