Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the hon. Assistant Minister confirm and convey the bad news to this country that we do not have adequate SGR. He has confirmed that we do have approximately 30 per cent and the funds in place are approximately 15 per cent. What can be done in the short-term, even if it means stopping everything else, so that we are prepared for the impeding drought, and have eight million bags of SGR? Can anything be done from your side or who is sitting on his job?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This country has a tradition of having food shortages that end up being mega scams in terms of food supplies. Is the Assistant Minister in order to sit there and confirm to this nation that as we enjoy the heavy rains and bumper harvest, we are still at 30 per cent of our projected quantities of SGR and further that we sit here and wait until our people start dying in North Eastern Province and other places?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you heard that Mr. Wesonga is a very sick man. Could the Assistant Minister take it as a special case to ensure that he gets his benefits now, because there will be no good if he is dead?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I presume that this is one of the photographs that has been laid on the Table. It shows a grey-haired man bleeding profusely. What actually agitated the formerly very successful co-operative in dairy farming? We are interested that such a model has now been scuttled. Who are the other people involved in this scam and what has the Government done to uphold peace and stability in that co-operative.
