Solidarity Helping Hand to take govt to court over food distribution
Solidarity Helping Hand says it is preparing to take legal action against the government for allegedly centralising food distribution to the poor.
“It would be a sad day for the country, and people in distress will suffer if the distribution of food is centralised and controlled as a result of so-called government ‘regulations’,” it added. He added it would hold discussions with the relevant authorities in the meantime to get clarity on the matter, adding it had created confusion and “does not serve the purpose of caring for people”.
Legal advice obtained by the organisation indicated it was unlawful to implement these requirements, Noëth said.
