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 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 a good idea yes. i was very happy.

that. i don't like depending on others with the work. or not much and all of them other than i but our land doesn't produce anything and to prise us a soda. with did and months ago was so to some wheat but it was aired in the sun on holland. i missed. that one and we appreciate that other countries take care of us. and the government of kenya. knows that the drought causes problems but it ignores us. we could sustain ourselves and the government could build a water tank. and an irrigation system to water as fields.

but. it was one we have people who like to work. it's a myth. 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 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 literally. going on because all buckwild we are glad we have something to to you know eighty ninety percent of the people not going out today that night so it is a mental challenge for the country. we hoping that with a new constitution would up with will develop and those who put them up to it 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 grain. 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 send it to 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 such becomes easier to make more money in putting food. at the expense of the cause of the starving people as opposed to having opinions 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 one thousand sixties a nineteen seventies conomos among the wilds 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 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 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 you are buying me into fertilizer into seeds and the entire cultural 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 are a net food importing countries. so what happens 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 it. 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 farmer but i didn't always have 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 expenses. cheery it is better

because someone may pity and help you. 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 to. us that is a must. and you have to pay for your rent 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 to buy food you have to buy food to make the food this. is no only good mission it's free markets because. we have so many people can't afford to be the food because the. everything to each.

walk. i don't know. for decades now the world food program organization has been providing food to the pupils in kabera schools. have this school three hundred children receive aid. some of these children sometimes it's the only meaning of the day that they get so they get a school meal so they have baffler time meat and in addition it provides an incentive for children to come to school. i only skimmed maybe i could just grow up fast. and it made me have my fun. it is the terrorists me is is my mom no dad will come it will need food over to do is to leave hungry.

the food that each year to fill much more than we will eat and let them to bring some more. homes as soon manage. it maybe we have been prudent. in that. i just. i just got to say i know but i won't let somebody know that's on me our rights i just. made i don't need to tonight just keep being here so that then they may just see that defense is tough love love as she is being put as john says. wealthy british style. sometimes right on. target.

market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cars or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report on our. choose your language. of choice because without the federal subsidies still some of. us choose to use the consensus to. choose the opinions that invigorating to. choose the stories that impact the life choose the access to your office or.

ah. ah.

yes many things. i like the support. it is. issue. it is an economic is eel is a boat rural development it is so many things and therefore as long as you of food dependant as known as you not i was sober and in the means and the infrastructure using and distributing food. then. you cannot claim to be so free and cannot claim to be independent sixty percent of. utter bollocks in africa is contradicted. and and adept tells you that all we need is to then invest this pumps but again because of the dependency culture what we've seen is that the political elites have been

selling and listen to this land too for us. we're not investing in farming as 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 the lease this farm for twenty five vs and number twenty five vs the renaming. 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. for not. only what busing to move dominion came here through the church. because it couldn't get in contact with us it used the priests. you need to do 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 letting rice crops. but as the inhabitants claim this intervention caused floods. much the. the water came during the day and got inside our home. the corn's one run. and so they got completely ruined in the day. the house started leaning. and so we demolished and rebuilt you. oh well 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 but with as many animals drowned everything i had was taken by the water. which is killing people. people and. it is very visible who. we are not the course but what happens here 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 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 the arms and 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 money to pay school fees for the children because of these not just you can't plan the clothes you planned here today what it comes to and. those who are 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 saw or demand newness to get to the 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 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 mean it is always complaining about the person that was given to they invest us yes why don't they also go on a drain of a pot that is like bad. and our government is sitting in the offices an aerobic as in the american people help they do this to their. grads 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 this by tristan in colonial days.

we have to strive to. make us you know after the minerals. invest in the new sources so excess ministry. is productive and therefore we have to run proud to be with it. in the next three years if the trend continues i think they can and community will really make appearance for more really food depending on. nationals is known 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. with their own hands they also build a smaller earth and dam. for this project to happen the world food programme n.g.o.s and the government had 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

starting off or cans 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 effective julie 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 no it's about drugs it's about how we have money all politics. so the tools to help with the african person. we need nor want to stop delivering

a few bugs of graeme to the people we see starving we need to start interrogating the global food system and how it's been truly makes individual africans in the rural villages end up having no food at all.
