I have indicated that the advances were purely to address the problems we were having within the sector. Yes, we have noticed that 12 months is a very short time.

• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the hon. Member is aware that, recently, we waived monies owed to co-operative societies. It is our responsibility, as a Ministry, to ensure that we look at some of those emergencies as they occur. Part of this money will address those emergencies so that farmers can be cushioned against some of the calamities that may occur. view

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, like I have pointed out, we are equally concerned that if you look at the litany of cases that have been reported, nobody has been apprehended to date. I am also requesting the police to do their job. It is not possible ... view
