Rice for the poor

Rice for the poor

From Republika

The government should take proper action to overcome problems arising from the distribution of cheap rice for the poor, given that the rice has been diverted to the wrong targets. This practice will benefit only certain people and the poor get hardly any.

This should be openly discussed because the practice is comparable with corruption and must be eliminated. The government must take strict measures against the perpetrators as many of us still live below the poverty line.
