Defense Minister, Dominic Nitiwul has announced that the government will increase security measures at all border towns throughout the country, with a particular focus on the northern regions, to combat the smuggling of grains into neighboring countries.

This decision is part of a broader strategy to address potential food shortages caused by recent drought conditions.

The deployment of security personnel is intended to enforce a new government ban on grain exports, aimed at ensuring sufficient food supplies within the country.

Nitiwul reassured the public that these measures are in place for their benefit and the overall stability of the nation. “It is essential for everyone to support these efforts and work together to avoid any unnecessary suffering due to potential food shortages,” he said.

The deployment of additional security forces is expected to significantly reduce illegal grain exports and enhance the monitoring of border activities. This move highlights the government’s determination to manage the current crisis and safeguard national interests.

Citizens are encouraged to stay vigilant and assist in maintaining the integrity of the food supply chain by reporting any irregularities. The collaboration between the public and security agencies will be crucial in achieving the desired outcomes and ensuring that the country remains resilient in the face of adversity.
