Parliament asks gov’t to reassess poverty eradication programmes
Parliament has directed the government to reassess the emyooga program before it can implement any new initiatives intended to eradicate poverty in the country. Responding to reports by several MPs Deputy Speaker Anita Among expressed disappointment with the way the entire emyooga program was mishandled. The programme itself arose out of government’s failure to put in place a proper frame work to guide the program’s implementation.
