invested in these funds but again because of the dependency 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. 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.

is an investment bank american mom 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 denise this farm for twenty five vs and number twenty five vs the renewable. we thank you both so 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. i. want to. thank you. for your advice you don't you have dominion came here through the church. because it couldn't get in contact with us it. use the priests. did promise 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 with. that there would be food for everyone it was for us was the biggest joy. so these multinational companies we thought big coming to transform our lives and we really celebrated at the time the middles coming. this thing turned out to be something. 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 loving rice crops. but as the inhabitants claim this intervention caused floods. not the case the water came during the day and got inside the home. the corn's one. and so they got completely ruined world and. the house started leaning. demolished and rebuilt.

my whole body was underwater and no need to 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 everything from people and. it is very visible who. we are not the course but what happened 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 inside 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 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 badly i was almost 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 all these not just you can plan the clothes you planned here today what i come from. those who are 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. after twenty five blocks 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're experiencing now. as never before.

the community is 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 communities always complaining about the potion that was given to the investor . yesterday why don't they also go on a drain of the other part that is lying back. and our government is sitting in the office as an arrow b. 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 my as well very very hard working 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 be just like us you know after the. us was in the middle of sources so it's us ministers. 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. appears for more really for depending on. good 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. 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 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 drought 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 very bad than even the drought but you know touch the saudis their own money is pleading for food aid. to the problem really about funding now for it is not about drugs it's about how we are monitoring all politics. so the tools to

help with the african pulse. we need nor stop just delivering a few bugs of grain to the people we see starving we need to type in tell getting the global food system and how it's been truly makes individual africans in their religious end up having no food at all.

what defines a country's success. faceless figures of economic growth. for a factual standard of living.

i would rather ask questions of people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on our t.v. question more. choose

your language calling because we know if the generals going to say still some of. us choose to use the consensus get closer to the opinions that invigorating good. excuse the stories that imply life choose me access to your office. news today. these are the images. from the streets of canada.
