Four communities in the Matarkai sub-district in Region One (Barima-Waini) are now beneficiaries of tractors and trailers along with harrow and ploughs to further agricultural development and promote beautification within their respective areas.
The equipment was officially handed to the CDC Chairpersons of One Mile, Citrus Grove, Mainab, and Tassawini by Prime Minister, Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips and Housing and Water Minister Collin Croal at the RDC office in Port Kaituma, North West District (NWD).
Parliamentary Secretary Sarah Browne-Shadeek; Regional Chairman Brentnol Ashley and other local representatives were also present for the handing over.
However, both the Prime Minister and Croal urged that recipients practice responsible management of the equipment.
By doing so, they stressed that the residents would be able to derive maximum benefits from these resources and contribute to the positive transformation of their communities.
They also underscored the Government’s unwavering commitment to supporting the growth and development of Region One.
