Give the cows to the people that really need them
Editor, I never knew that the Girinka was so controversial. I thought that it was a matter of giving the neediest people in society the means to improve their lives. That’s why I was shocked to find out that people who shouldn’t have been able to get those vital heads of cattle were the ones with them. That is why I’m totally supporting the Government’s issuance of a final deadline to individuals who are accused of illegally benefiting from the ‘One Cow per Poor Family’; they must return the cows not later than February 1 next year.
The Girinka project is supposed to help the most vulnerable people, not the local leaders. Inset, Minister of Agriculture, Agnes Kalibata
