Speaking to our Reporter in Paynesville, a mother of five children who is a cook food business woman, Mary Flomo said she was only able to send one of her children out of five to school this year due to the lack of money.
According to her, the business is not improving due to the lack of money in the country, stressing that most of the time her business food cannot finish, thus affecting the business .
Madam Flomo said those who she can purchase her cooking ingredients from in the market are expensive and those who buying from her are unable because of the economic situation.
“The Market hard these days, if you buy the food materials expensive, you will not be able to make profit so how will we as parents get money from to pay our children school fees,” she noted.
Madam Flomo also wants the Government to seek solution stressing that more parents are unable to send their children to school within their community in Paynesville.
“You can see plenty children just playing in the community because their parents are unable to send them to school just like me, it is not easy; the Government needs to do something about this money business,” she said.
Also was a single mother of two children Ruth Kollie who said she was unable to send their children to school due to the lack of cash.
She further disclosed that the government free primary education is not working because a parent who is not working is unable to send his or her children to school .
“The only thing the government needs to do is, do something about this money business thing not easy; we are suffering under this CDC Government “ she said.
Madam Kollie said things are so difficult that she is unable to get food for she and her children; indicating that not to talk about her rent.
“I am only depending on God for his intervention in my life because I have nobody to help me and my children,” she lamented.
She however expressed hope with a strong conviction that one day things will get batter but did not indicate under which government that things will improve.
