I believe we will win.

I will make sure research and development is a top priority in agricultural development.

My government is going to deal with all forms of corruption. White-collar corruption will be high on the list and we are going to plug all gaps that are being used by corrupt leaders (and) business people.

To me, the most critical thing in agriculture is investing in the peasant agriculture, transforming peasant agriculture.

There were times when there were riots in Africa, demonstrations against the IMF because of the policy advice they were giving, the conditionalities they were imposing, and the difficulties that arose out of the implementation of those conditionalities.

If people want to get into leadership through corrupt practices, through corrupt means, I think that's detestable; we have to take action.
