"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, therefore, you cannot possibly privatise the NCPB. In the same manner, we know that we are having famine and drought in this country because we have messed up our transportation policy. As I stand here, for eight years, the Ethiopian Government has been trying to concession the railroad from Djibouti to Addis Ababa. That concessioning has failed because the governing party has a vested interest in transporting relief food by private means so that they can get money. This is finance politics! So, every time there is famine in Ethiopia, thousands of people die because moving food using road is very slow and cumbersome. If you were to use the railroad, it would be much faster, safer and cheaper. But because of the avarice of 2370 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 26, 2006 politicians, the railroad from Djibouti to Addis Ababa has never been improved so that every time there is famine, the ruling party can benefit from the misery of the people. This is what is happening in this Government."
