A worried citizen has expressed his displeasure about how government relief food package is being distributed to the households across the country.

Thousands of bags of rice, sugar and cooking oil have been recently announced for distribution to 84% households of the country to curb the effect damage of coronavirus, but Alkali Cham, a native of Brufut, who spoke to The Voice, said: “I am not happy with the way, and manner things are conducted.”

According to him, the team tasked for registering houses skipped his compound and a compound next to him as he said. He disclosed “perhaps because we are living in good looking houses” adding that almost everyone living in his compound are tenants.

He said: “They skipped our compound maybe they thought everyone in the compound is financially stable or okay which is a very wrong concept, because the reason is still unknown to me.”

“They cannot judge the book by the cover because skipping people that are living in beautiful houses without knowing how they are living in that compound is wrong. Somebody may live in a fine house while the person is just a tenant or a caretaker you can’t know unless you go inside to find out their situations,” he said.

According to him everyone living in that compound are all tenants but the other compound are the right full owner of that compound, and that’s notwithstanding.

He said in this hardship time sensible person should not skip a compound because the compound is painted beautifully.

“I am indeed disappointed in the whole process and perhaps the government has given them such criteria to skip such houses but it is all wrong, you cannot judge the book by the cover at all,” he complained bitterly.
