would be procured from local markets and a wry faster and cost less. they failed and they failed because of the lobbying efforts the highly successful and very sophisticated lobbying efforts of those who benefit from the status quo in u.s. food aid programs from the american taxpayers' money only forty percent goes for the purchase of food aid for the starving people in africa the remaining sixty percent goes to the shipping companies. that haven't yet. yet it was yes. that was. very happy for. me.

that. i don't like depending on others with a lot. of that much and all of them other than i but our land doesn't produce anything and to prise us a soda. out of what did and months ago was so to some wheat but it was aired in the sun on. the net i missed. that one and we appreciate that as a 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 as fields. but. it was one with people who like to work. it's emitted. 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. because for example we have no fields as a mother the 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 country. has been on continuous famine relief because that is a bitter bitter development going on because all. we'll be right if we have something to do to you know eighty ninety percent of the people not going out to be that night so it's a mental challenge for the country if we hoping that with a new constitution would up with will develop we've got a multitude of my generation people and the side of the country. it is only us of 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. it means opinion 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 myself 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 will be about import food importation so it becomes 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 a police cause 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's why in the name in sixty's the nine 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 kid less titian know

a country that east coast by locals has to sell and policy making that 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. asked us to actually that just meant the subsidies that were going into fertilizer into seeds and the entire a great cultural extension services were removed 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 need food importing countries. so what happens you don't have enough to feed the people so you have to able to import and if you don't have enough money to import you get food aid. behind 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 siren or 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 as

expenses. 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 computer 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 have to. school fees you have to buy food you have to buy food with the food yes. ms know. it's free market because. we have so maybe really people can't afford the billy food because the body. moved everything to each.

war. 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 meaning 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 fast. and maybe have my fun meeting. the things that share is me is if my mom know dad will

come a tool needs food over to do steve hungry but. the flip that e.t.f. to the much more than one who eats only defensive ring so much. holds assume. you maybe you haven't been to foods in that i'm. just. i just too good to say on that but i won't let someone know that i think a lot i just can almost make dance i don't need to say and i just keep going to hear them so that even then they may just see that you fancy stuff love love and she is being put as john she was a good one. was. that it. was.

you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard because the big picture. wealthy british style. market. can. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cons

wood loads. of coal on naughty. so many things. i lay some point. it. is you. it is an economic is evil is a bogus rural development it is so many things and therefore as long as you of food dependent as known as you not i was so different in the means and the infrastructure good using and distributing food. then. you cannot claim to be so free and cannot claim to be independent sixty percent of. our blood in africa is cultivated and

and adept tells you that all we need is to then invest this pumps but again because of the dependence of culture what we are seeing is that the political elites have been selling and listen this lot to for us. we are not investing in farming just part of us to take the security element for the country. 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 in east this farm for twenty five vs and number twenty five vs but he knew it. was too much what you would like. 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 do it promised to give us work so that no one would be unemployed or local 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 timed 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 he hates the water came during the day and goes inside the home. the corn's one right now. and so they've got completely ruined world and. the house started leaning. and so we demolished and rebuilt us and you.

know. when i walked my whole body was underwater i know only this spot stayed above the water level. then i'm a little 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 taking everything from people and. it is very visible who.

we are not the course but what happened see 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 cans 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. worth who own food no we can't have money to pay school fees for the children because of these not this you can't plan the course you planned here today what it comes and. those who are going to work here know. that time was a rich man and that's why i left the looking for jobs in a row be to come here and create an employment for myself and have a decent life like. 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 get back in days and yet now. more

poorer than we used to be because what we're 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 take us why do we have communities always complaining about the person that was given to they invest us yes why don't they also go on a drain of the other part that is flying back. with our government is sitting in the offices an aerobic as in the american people help what they do is to their. grants coming from outside the nation all over every time they need food. but 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 they suspect we have still in colonial days. we have to strive to leave. just like us you know after the minerals. the us was in the middle of sources so excess ministry's. is productive and therefore we have to run proudly with it. in the next three years if the trend continues i think the kenyan community will really make appearance for more relief for depending on. nationals is more truly 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 have to cooperate and all for the

trick on a 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 see drove us 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 a boat from enough with is no it's about drugs it's about how we have money.

so the tools to help with the african person. we need to know about stop just delivering a few bugs of grain to the people we see is telling we need to start interrogating the global food system and how it eventually makes individual up with guns in their religious end up having no food at all.

yes it will disappear yes the filters updated these along with the subpoena new.

so you know so. you know what he was getting at you know who is the one who wants to. wealthy british style sign some time to. time. markets why not come to find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to conjure reports

on our. real damage and complexity of this oil spill was not something you can grasp just by looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have a reported all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for business if b.p. is the single largest oil contributor to the the pentagon. warmachine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step for the it's a step forward. carex it is toxic is a look a lot like spraying and. it was a it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there i don't want dispersants to be the agent.
