President Nandi-Ndaitwah told northern farmers they need to work hard for good harvests because food aid will shrink soon. From June onward, the government plans to give drought-relief food only to people badly hit by floods. Many farmers across the country already expect good crop yields after recent rainfall. The president spoke about these changes during her visit to Ehenye Relocation Centre, where over 1,300 flood victims stay.
She made clear that food distribution won't stop completely. She explained that areas received good rain this year, which helped most farmers produce enough food. Thanks to these harvests, people probably won't face hunger. Starting in June, only those whose fields were underwater will receive food assistance. Constituency officials must register all severely affected residents for them to qualify.
The president gave clothing, blankets, and food to people at the center as personal gifts. She believes nations must grow their food to earn respect from others. She pushed citizens not to depend completely on government help. With plenty of rainfall, she urged everyone to use water resources effectively. She wants people to become more self-sufficient through farming their fields.
