MICHAEL MAKUEI LUETH, MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND BROADCASTING: “The people who are displaced are very much affected by floods, and after the floods have subsided they need to be resettled in their areas of origin because they don’t have anything at present and all that they need is to be rescued now.”
