"Why is an entity, in which the government holds the majority share, reducing staff salaries at a time when journalists are playing a crucial role in serving the nation during the lockdown? There is an urgent call for government intervention to protect these workers."
"It's likely that she was referring to nomadism rather than a primitive form of farming. If she recently visited Kiruhura district with other MPs, she would have seen that pastoralism is much more advanced than she may have thought.
