    "content": "households that cannot afford to buy a meal for one week, two weeks, one month or two months, depending on the period of the lock-down. Therefore, I am thinking that a lot more needs to be done going forward because we need to plan for the worst-case scenario. I feel the originators of this particular budget should have put their mind into that, so that we can protect ourselves going forward. Otherwise, I am glad that some money has been set aside for the elderly and the most vulnerable people in the community. But we are still hearing a lot of complaints down in the villages of old or vulnerable people who have been left out of this important programme. We would want to see that going forward in the next budget, more money is put towards this important programme so that we can protect and care for the elderly people especially during this particular period when there is very little money that is going into people’s pockets. I hope that this money will benefit the really needy people that we have in this country."
