looking at. is in 25 minutes. it's not an overnight. it's not. joining me now is nick government spokesperson hadi welcome and thanks for your time why did you decide to visit mr. sometimes when you'll hear him and went to dinner with a case. far away from each you need to be able to look at the to rain see the geography but more importantly see the agra process in that was and that is in place it farfalle i wanted to see for myself why are we saying this is very productive business where we saying this is an export oriented business and way are we saying these fits very well in the narrative is open for business so this was the peoples of the his it ok now i don't know if i can link up their post to this question and it's up to say that if if you went there and you found out that it
8:39 pm
didn't meet what your head that it met then what would have been ok that his farm was taken away from him. no that wasn't when i change the outcome because when the when the cabinet. position or a decision it becomes policy saw that decision that was passed on the 28th of may was in sync with the with government policy government policy is pronounced by the president in these inaugural speech on the 24th of november 27th in and subsequent statements that have been made and the actual police have passed by a cabinet on several occasions to the effect that. the land issue is no longer a rasho issue it's no longer a question of race and more importantly. no productive land will be taken but we're taking land anyway except that land which is too big for one person and when
8:40 pm
we have such a 100 population for land ok those ones will be downsized and people that it would have multiple farms these so-called multiple. lead on us those ones will may lose some of them in terms of the land or to those who are carrying out but does that is what is the government policy is concerned the. phrase fitted well into the police ok sound science doesn't require complicated some times the land will be taking and given to other or spread out to other farmers also but but but back to the main issue for discussion when all the off we were drawn so that you can actually own is own farm that's that's that's definitely a bureaucratic process they offer later that was given to mr mills and he's going to put it drawn and. as for mr. liviu he has to apply for it or more to be given that i mean for the lease agreement in terms of the government
8:41 pm
directive saw it's a matter of we're talking we're really talking of administrative issues here i mean certain issues are not police issues once the police has been pronounce we may you know it may take long to draft of these documents get into that office to be signed with the other but as i say it's administrative i don't think we should be very much bogged down bad message of issues ok so ultimately he can relax because things are going to go smooth he's going to still be in control of his own farm that's a yes right that's a yes that's a definitely yes now finally or you know whether to continue waiting that's good finally before you go what is the government's doing about other farms facing similar threats what we pronounce on the 28th and what you pronounce it now is a policy police the police is that no productive land will be taken away from somebody who is producing. no of reprocessing will be taken away from old price to anybody. lands and we'll also or not all property rights is paid all constitution
