• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: disturbing to the extent that many people think that Africa is a place where people do not eat and they suffer. We see emaciated children, parents and even animals. So, such images are really disturbing. It is an indication that something has gone wrong and we do not have enough food. That is why when this Bill comes to this Floor, we need to support it because it is a way of trying to improve the situation. Therefore, this would respond to the challenges that we have as far as food is concerned. It is important that when you look ... view

The money they will raise or whatever resources they will raise will be utilised effectively so that it is spread across affected areas. We know North Eastern is always suffering, but that does not mean that other counties do not suffer. They may be suffering, but in silence.
