    "content": "When locusts get into cropland, they decimate it. So, there are key issues that we need to look at in this particular respect and advise the Government. Whoever advises the Government on the national disaster declaration process should do so immediately. They should advise the Government to declare the locust invasion a national disaster, put effort into quantification of what the losses are and start the process of helping people. We need to move with speed. Otherwise, we will not be able to support our people when the locusts ravage everything. When locusts get into areas that have trees and a lot of population, we shall be risking the lives of the people. The chemicals that are being used are at ultra-low volume rates. It is possible for the mixing of the chemicals to be mistaken and somebody can use higher volumes which will, therefore, lead to susceptibility where people are concerned and we might have other crisis coming in, in the process of trying to control the desert locusts."
