    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is shameful for this country to have people dying in some parts of the country while there is excess food in other parts. In my constituency, we have so much rice that is stocked by Ahero Irrigation Scheme farmers. They cannot sell it! Where is the Minister of State for Special Programmes? Could she have her people buy the rice so that it can be distributed to the needy people? What about the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB)? Why can that institution not buy that rice so that it can be availed to the other people who need it? People are dying of hunger. When you talk to the officers of the Ministry of State for Special Programmes, they say that they are importing food. Why should they import food while ours is not bought by the same Government? It is the same Government that used resources to help in the production of this food. It is very embarrassing! It is shameful for this country."
