Mayor Tanjong Martin addressing farmers
The tools he added include 10 wheel narrows, 10sprayers, 20 bowls(38litres each) and 20 hoes. Considering that his population is principally involved in agriculture, the municipal head noted that the times are hard but the farm still remains a destination for many of them. The farm he noted is one of the safest places to be and so they should continue working so as to ensure food supply for their families, municipality and beyond.
He has acknowledged the limited quantity distributed but has promised to ensure more is available during the the 2021 subdivisional agro pastoral show when he hopes the coronavirus pandemic would have given way for normalcy to return.
The farmers have expressed gratitude to Mayor Tanjong and the council for thinking of them at such a time as this. The say using the tools properly is the better way to say thank you. The yields they added will be proof of their appreciation.
