Agriculture’s Failure Again: Are We Determined to Continue Importing Our Food?Here we are now, little more than a year after she left office and Dr. Moses Zinnah now in her place. Only last Wednesday the Joint Committee of the National Legislature, not the Daily Observer, is blasting the Ministry and Minister Zinnah, for failure to use even 50% of the donor money given for the nation’s agricultural development.
And there was Dr. Zinnah, in the face of his Ministry’s glaring ineptitude (incompetence), scrambling for answers to the lawmakers, and even apologizing for its failure to utilize money allocated to it by both donors and the government. Of course, there was someone to blame—the contractors, who allegedly failed to do the work expeditiously.

Another totally unnecessary but dismal failure! In Dr. Chenoweth’s own county, Grand Cape Mount, the fisheries project, though well- funded with reliable donor money, is stalled after nearly three years of operation—why? Because the Ministry has failed to focus on and follow up on the work! As a result, while the Chinese contractors have nearly completed their part of the contract – the fishing project building – a Lebanese contractor, who has already gotten paid to pave the project grounds and build the fence, was nowhere to be found on the site. The ground is still laden with mud and the fence has not been built.
