I believe that, for the first time since this whole saga of maize erupted in this country; a saga that has captured the imagination of the country like no other because it touches on the matter of food--- For the first time, we have been granted a platform and an avenue through which such matters can be interrogated and investigated with the seriousness that they deserve and not purely running on the rumor mills!"}
