According to The Standard, economic data is raising questions about a government claim linking affordable housing jobs to milk shortages in the country.

The publication reports that the government has claimed that jobs created through affordable housing programmes have driven increased demand for milk, leading to shortages.

However, The Standard says economic data fails to support this link between the housing sector employment and milk supply issues.
