According to Allen, he engaged with many community members who listed a number of complaints regarding the system and paperwork at the department.
"Some people have not been able to claim a grant for the past 3 months due to system crashes, lost paperwork and just lack of communication from the government," said Allen.

"People are hungry and people are going to start doing things in desperation, and that is the truth!" exclaimed Allen.
