    "content": "It is also a shame that the food that was feeding the school-going children was withdrawn because the Government said that we have food. However, we do not have it. There are very many children who are not going to school now because there is no lunch at school, they do not eat breakfast in their houses and there is no supper at home. What are we supposed to do as a country? If we cannot take care of the children who are going to school and the elderly, what are we saying? We need to borrow a leaf from the countries that are deserts like Israel and dig big dams to get water for irrigation. I wonder where the water goes. It goes to the Indian Ocean, which is not begging for more water. We should tame that water and irrigate our shambas so that we can get food to feed our people. It is always a shame that when it rains in the north eastern region, cows and cars are swept by the water and there is drought in the next three months. What are we saying? We are saying that we do not know how to plan. If we are planning, we are only doing it on paper and putting it in drawers to rot there. As a country, we need to wake up and do much more than we are doing."
