it has been termed that we want to participate in in a particular appeal and so when the food arrives. to g.a.o. where mr leto works issued a report which presented the problem to congress. president bush tried to change the system so that a portion of the food would be procured from local markets and arrive 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 and use 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 mean yes. yes it was i did however. was. that i was. very happy i was. like you i don't like depending on others with the work. all that much and all of them other than i but our land doesn't produce any saying and deprives us of soda. did a month ago was so to some wheat but it was aired in the sun on holland the mess the mist and the rubber.

met out on one and we appreciate that as our countries take care of us that are going to go 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 a method. 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. yeah . 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 through that part of the country. to be in. continuous form in their lives because that is literally true. because all. we breath we have to to know eighty nine percent of the people not going out today 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 people and those kind of communities in 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. in a 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 in tons of the same it becomes easier for you to skim over from that the food if it's not about food aid it could be about import food importation so it becomes easier to make more money in putting food. at the expense of course 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 put these 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 would top up so that you don't go at a loss because if you do if you go at a loss you will not. plan to the next season and the country would stuff and that is why in the name since it is a name hundred seventy s.

and there was among the 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 mean they 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 seeds and the entire a group that you know extension services were removed and this is a cinch and services now have to be paid and because people did 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 are a net food importing country. so what's up once you don't have enough to feed the people so you have to pay they import and if you don't have enough money to import you get food aid.

behind nairobi skyscrapers and 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. to roughly two dollars that is a must. and you have to pay for your room you have to buy water you have to pay for the toilet too good too you have to pay full electricity you have to pay for used

children's school fees you have to buy food you have to buy food with the food yes . there's no only delicious it's free market. we have some really really people can't afford the daily food because of the burden because. if we took each. war. for decades now the world food programme organization has been providing food to the pupils in canberra schools. i have to school three hundred children receive aid . some of these children sometimes it's the only mean if they did that they get so they going to school move so they have bad flu to me 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 fund. that is the cherries me is if my mom moved dad would come a tool we would do over to do street hungry but. this would that each year to fill much room that would eat i begged him to bring so much . hope assume much. maybe i've been too prudent in that i. just say i just got to play on that but i want to let someone know that i think a lot i just can almost make things i don't they teach and i just keep being

here so that even then they may just see that you fancy stuff love love and she's being with us when she has a good school. was. that it. was. old. technology innovation all billy's developments from around russia we stopped a few jerks covered. i would rather as lessons for people in positions of power instead of speaking on

their behalf and that's why i can find myself larry king now right here on r.t. question more. arguably our america's influence is much larger than that of iran so alone with power comes responsibility greater responsibility when you agree with that in every negotiation on a round table the parties are equal they maybe differ in the degree of that power but on this issue each side is negotiating with the out and trying to reach an agreement.

will be sharing. the children are very. very few. actually there was. a ever. a. new uniting. seriously very i was. a ever. had and i was in need to be in the right and giving me the unique. he. was. was.

was. food is many things is a life support it is saturday it is you. it is an economic issue is abodes rural development it is so many things and therefore as long as you of food dependent as long as you do not i was so brinton. an infrastructure using and distributing food. then. you cannot claim to be so free and not claim to be and. sixty percent of. our beloved in africa is come to that. and

and that tells you that only need is to then invest the sponsors but again because of baby pendency culture what we've seen is that the political elites are being silly and listen. to for us. we're not investing in farming us part of us to take 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 in food security in africa so he came here in the two thousand and three and denise this farm for twenty five vs and number twenty five vs renewable. was about 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. and i. feel like bussing to move 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. there would be great changes it would build schools it would 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 tamils coming. this thing timed out to be something. one. of. the communities agreed the company would take a 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 letting rice crops. but as the inhabitants claim this intervention caused floods. much he hates the water came during the day and got inside our home. the corn's one right now. and so they got completely ruined in the day. the house started leaning. and so we demolished and rebuilt this and you.

all when i walked my whole body was underwater i know only this pot 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 but there's many animals drowned everything i had was taken by the water. which is killing people. everything from people and. it is very visible who. we are not the course but what happens 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're 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 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 in favor here i was getting my vegetables from here i was getting my income in fact i was a cultivating underselling yeah i had some sugar cans here some yams groups under so many things and even on your arms under the models i was selling

those and maybe if not a bit about it i was almost getting one thousand a day. to manage my family and now i've got nothing. close to our own food no we can't have money to pay school fees for the children because of these not just you can plan the clothes you planned here today what i come from. the world going to work you 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 employment for myself and have a decent life like. after twenty five blocks of ways and one. i'm back when all is not lost you can hardly get a bag of maize so on demand noone has 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 swarm that it is 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 post and that was given to the investor. yesterday why don't they also go on a drain of a pot that is like bad. and our government is sitting in the offices and they will be as if 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 it still in colonial days. we have to strive to. make us you know after the. us was in the sources so it's ministries. and therefore we have to run proudly with it. in the next three years if the trend continues i think they can and community will really make appearance for more relief for depending on. the national 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. with 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 turkana food provided that they work on the project.

the dam may hold some of the rainwater and help the economy 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 about funding now for it is note about drugs it's about how we have money.

so to to help with the effort impulse. we need nor stop i guess delivering a few bugs of grain to the people he's telling we need to start intel getting the global food system and how it's been truly makes individual africans in their religious end up having no food at all.
