She claimed that because of complaints from the populace that government-sent supplies had not reached the average person, her employer, the President, had instructed her to pick up and deliver the goods herself.
“When the president comes to your towns, I want you to show him the gifts from his office and explain how you have used them to fight poverty. Take careful care of these chicks and superior-breed goats; if you succeed, we will add more to you; if you fail, the opportunity will be taken from you and given to someone else,”she said.
