    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I announced to the country the management changes at the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB), and clearly stated then the basis of the changes that we had effected. We had looked at the operations of NCPB and realised that it is going to play a much more central role, especially in an era where there is food shortage in the country. There is a food crisis in the whole world, and because of the central role NCPB is going to play, it was necessary to re-organise it, so that its operations are in tandem with its mandate. We contracted the firm of Deloitte and Touche to give us an assessment. That was in October, 2008. They had to give an assessment of how restructuring could be done at the Board. When we received that report, and after consultations, we thought it was a good report and we went ahead and implemented it."
