Members of Parliament in the National Council supported the budgetary allocation of the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform, and appealed for an increase in order to meet its obligations of ensuring food security and equitable land re-distribution.

In his contribution, Okorukambe Constituency Councillor Rocco Nguvauva expressed concern with the resettlement programme saying some beneficiaries have not occupied their land while those who occupied are subleasing it.
