    "content": "We can delay solving this problem and be in a more serious situation than we are right now. I would like to join my colleagues who are calling for a declaration of a national disaster because locust invasion at this point in time should be looked at as a national disaster. We need to mobilise resources from the strategic resources that have been kept for emergency response. To declare it a national disaster, we need to assess the levels of destructiveness which they have done over time. We need to know the intensity and the effect thereafter since we are facing a crisis. We are a food insecure country. Locusts will eat all our food and our fences. They have eaten all our pasture. Animals and people will die at the same time. So, we do not want to face a food crisis while we could control this by declaring the locust invasion a national disaster early enough and using the resources to control the locusts."
