yet it was. was already happening god. was. like you i don't like depending on as errors with the work. a lot i'm not all that much and all of them other than i but our land doesn't produce anything and deprives us of soda. did a month ago we sowed some wheat but it was aired in the sun on holiday i mean i missed and the problem. was that. we appreciate that other countries take care of us. and the

government of kenya. knows that drought causes problems but it ignores us. we could sustain ourselves and the government could build a water tank. and an air a geisha system to water us fields. but. it was one we have people who like to work. it's. rather than receiving food for which we have not worked. it is a good work but we don't like to be idle. they could help us by giving us work. imo because for example we have no fields as a mother when we proposed to our government to construct good water supply lines

for our crops it's like talking to defeat is. we have appealed to the government many times. the government of kenya has utterly abandoned this district there are no roads water or electricity the state of kenya has built absolutely nothing. so it is true that part of the. continuous famine relief because that is literally true development going on because all buckwild we are glad we have something to to you know eighty ninety percent of the people not going out to be that night so it is a mental challenge for the country. we hope in that with a new constitution would up with will develop and those who come up short of my generation the people and the side of the country.

it is obvious that the government of kenya prefers to ask for help from abroad in order to feed the starving turkana instead of doing infrastructure and development work in the area. millions of kenyan from us producing green. must it becomes difficult for a bureaucrat who wants to skim off ten percent to go moving from village to village asking that i need ten percent of the grain for my stuff but if it's food aid you can put it tonnes of the same into becomes easier for you to skim off from that the food if it's not about food aid it could be about import food importation so it's become easier to make more money in putting food. at the expense of the cause of the starving people as opposed to having kids producing more food for themselves

. however before nine hundred eighty kenya not only produced but also exported products. the government had police that caused guaranteed minimum returns g.m. are weak means that. if you. invest in one because. and they needed it's not enough to recover you a cost the government to top up so that you don't go at a loss because if you good if you go at a loss you will not. plan to the next season and the country would stuff and that is who i am the one thousand and sixty is the name hundred seventy s. when there was a mom. who was net food exporting countries. despite

all this kenya was immersed in debt which couldn't be paid without international help it's just a clear lustration no a country that east coast by global forces to surrender policy making that ought to be of strategic importance to its own citizens why was kinda so enduring because they need aid from the world bank because they need aid from the i.m.f. there were told if you don't change you don't get money from us. so everything including education health communication transportation energy and water follows the free markets rules. agriculture was

no exception governmental support was withdrawn and farmers were now on their own. us just actually that just meant the subsidies that you are buying into fertilizer seeds and the entire agree catchable extension services where you move and this is a cinch and services now have to be paid and because people do not have money to pay the never consulted extension workers so the food production just slumped and as we're talking now it is a basket case we have net food importing countries. so what happens you don't have enough to feed the people so you have to say they import and if you don't have enough money to import you get food aid.

by nairobi skyscrapers in the shadows of the kenyan capital's luxuries lies kibera . it is one of africa's largest slums. approximately three hundred thousand people try to survive here. many of them are immigrants from rural regions who came to the city to escape hunger. i was a farmer but i didn't always has

a crop. i needed money to feed the cows but i had none. when i had a good crop i needed money again. to pay the workers to plow the fields i couldn't live like this it was all too much for one person i couldn't cope with the expense says. cheer it is better because someone may pity and help here. without a welfare system the citizens of kabera must pay for everything even public toilets since houses don't have these luxuries. the average commuter is two roughly two dollars that is a must. and you have to pay for your room you have to buy a water you have to pay for the toilet to go to you have to pay full electricity

you have to pay for school fees you have to buy food you have to buy food with the food yes. there's no legal issue it's free market. we have so maybe many people can't afford to be billy food because of the burden because moved everything to each. ward. for decades now the world food program organization has been providing food to the pupils in canberra schools. at this school three hundred children receive aid. some of these children sometimes it's the only mean that they did that they get so they going to school move so they have bad flu to meet and in addition it provides

an incentive for children to come to school. i don't lose jim good to maybe i could just grow up faster. and maybe help my funding. to do the tourist me is if my mom modelled leukoma to school kids would do or to do is to leave hungry but with. this with the two each year to build much more than we would eat i begged him to bring so much it was a hoax assuming. you've moved out of the room to foods in that i. just say i just take that today on that but i won't let someone know that i'm on a lot so i just can almost make sense i don't need to tonight how about just

keeping him down to the tea and then be made to see that you fancy stuff love love and she is being fought as a child she has a good school. but it. was. wealthy british style. time to buy your target. market why not. come then. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max keiser there are no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on our g.

was. was. food is so many things it's just a life support. issue. it is an economic is eel is some bugs rural development it is so many things and therefore as

long as the use of food dependent as no less you do not i was so brinton in the me and the infrastructure producing and distributing food. then. you cannot claim to be so free and not claim to be and. sixty percent of. our beloved in africa you come to britain. and and that tells you that only need is to then invest this pumps but again because of the dependency culture what we've seen is that the political elites are being silly and listen this is not true for us. we're not investing in farming us part of us to take security element for the country.

if. the american company dominion among other things builds prisons in the united states in kenya it is rented seventeen thousand hectors and produces food like rice dish and bananas mostly for the capital's big supermarkets. this farm. is an investment by an american man called mr cullen by this and his family they had some money but they thought should be put towards helping him put security in africa so he came here in the two thousand and three and the lease these farm four hundred five vs and number twenty five vs renewable.

was about what you would like for the american investor introduced himself through the church claiming that he wanted to help eradicate poverty by offering new jobs and food. in my. view like bussing to new dominion came here through the church. because it couldn't get in contact with us it used the priests. to use it promised to give us work so that no one would be unemployed. there would be great changes it would build schools and it would give us part of its harvest look at that within the school but there would be food for everyone it was for us was the biggest joy.

so these multinational companies we thought big coming to transform a lack and we really celebrated at the time to minerals coming. this thing turned out to be something. one. of. the communities agreed the company would take the swamp and transform it into fertile fields while simultaneously undertaking projects for the public's benefit. drainage works began and a cement dam was built in order to control the river gelis flow for the irrigation of the water loving rice crops. but as the inhabitants claim this intervention caused floods. much the key to the water came and got inside our home.

the corn's one. and so they got completely ruined in the. the house started leaning. and so we demolished and rebuilt this and you. know. when i walked my whole body was underwater i know only this spot stayed above the water level. carried away by the water and we just did what can you do with a cal which you can't feed because the water has covered it completely willing to

put as many animals drowned everything i had was taken by the water. which is killing people killing. people and. it is very visible who. we are not the course but what up in ca is when when people start to think politically when the river floods they think we have opened the gates and sometimes they come to us when we are not doing we're not even using we're not even in growing rice so there's a season when people came in and say we have floods down there they don't understand that the source of the river was flooded so the river would be flooding here so then they think it was a problem to do with us we have nothing to do with it we were just doing our things .

i was cultivating inside here i was getting my vegetables from here i was getting my income in fact i was cultivating underselling yeah i had some sugar canes here some yams groups under so many things and even on ian's under the models i was selling those and maybe if not very bad i was an almost a getting one thousand a day. to manage my family and now i've got nothing. to own food no we can't have the money to pay school fees for the children because of these not this you can't plan the clothes you planned you have today what has

come sunday. that was going to work you know. that time was a rich man and that's why i left. looking for jobs in a row be to come here and create an employment for myself and have a decent life life. you could face up to twenty five bucks of ways in one day. i'm back when all is not lost you can hardly get a bag of maize saw or demand newness to get to the back bays and yet now. more poorer than we used to be because what we are experiencing now. as never before. give the communities one to use part of the this one this one is about six hundred thousand acres it does not belong to us we only have seventeen thousand acres why

do we have communities always complaining about the potion that was given to the investor. yesterday why don't they also go on a drain of a pot that is like bad. but our government is sitting in the office as an aerobic as in the american people help what they did to their. grants coming from outside the nation all over every time the need and. what we have found by as well very very hard work so we are not being taken as human beings in fact i hate to say this but we are still in colonial days. we have to strive to be just like us you know after the minerals. the us was in the middle of sources.

and therefore we have to help people with it. in the next three years if the trend continues i think the kenyan community will really make appearance for more really food depending on. nationals is known treaty sustainable for these countries. today is a joyous day in this community of the turkana region. the

people are harvesting their crops from the communal field. but their own hands they also build a smaller earth and dam. for this project to happen the world food program n.g.o.s and the government how to cooperate and all for the turkana food provided that they work on the project. the dam may hold some of the rainwater and help the turkana gather water for the next drought. when our screens are again flooded by images of starving africans and the international community asks again for humanitarian aid then we will know that the drought is not the real culprit. in my view

is seed drought that's just an excuse that we use in order to you know make the aid in the street appear to be fair to chile the horn of africa receives more rain than soda rabia than even the drought but you know tides the saudis their own money is pleading for food aid. to the problem really about funding now for is no it's about drugs it's about how we are monitoring politics. so the tools to help with the african pulse. we need nor stop i guess delivering a few bugs of grain to the people he's telling we need to start getting the global food system and how it's been truly makes individual africans and their over the

ages end up having no food at all.
