Tales of food shortages for the delegates at the national
confab continued to be an issue, yesterday. Monday, the actual first day of
plenary recorded the worst day. Food was in drastic short supply.
Members of the conference complained and murmured among
themselves. Luckily, their murmuring reached the ears of the secretariat that
at the resumption of plenary after the lunch hours; the secretary of the
conference, Dr. Valarie Azinge formally addressed the issue.
“Honorable delegates, it has come to our notice that most of
you did not get food to eat. We are very sorry about that. We promise that it
will not repeat itself tomorrow.”
Tuesday, the second day, was supposed to witness adequate
food supply but to the chagrin of some delegates, the food still didn’t go
round again.
A delegate who felt bad over the issue couldn’t hold it back
to herself alone. She told Vanguard that “the food didn’t get to me again.”
But Wednesday proved a bit better for the conference as food
was said to have gone round for the delegates. Some members however attributed
it to the departure of many members who opted to have their lunch outside the
conference venue. Their departure was necessitated by the early lunch break
which the conference observed due to a special session held by the chairmen and
some nominees to brainstorm on the voting pattern.
