The last time rice was donated for school children, that time by China, Maada Bio's right hand man, David Francis who was then the Chief Minister, stole the rice. He is obviously no longer in office and that may have been the reason, but he remained in office for a long while after that and no public mention was made of him being punished for it. Obvious corruption, he admitted to it, he said he sold the rice so he could buy a school buy for a football team, but he was never charged. Who will Bio let steal the rice and deprive children of food this time?
