• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister to confirm the specific roles of the agencies involved in food distribution in the country, especially the WFP, the role of the District Steering Group in determining the lead agency, and the relationship between WFP and the Ministry of State for Special Programmes.
