Constituency Development Officer Gravis Tahiri said that this is an ongoing support of the constituency office under the guidance of Hon. Ghiro, MP with water supply & sanitation amongst the constituency’s office topmost priorities.

“Guaranteeing our rural communities have access to safe and clean water is paramount. More than SBD$300K under the PRC support fund has been utilized towards this important program,” he said.

Mr Tahiri further explained that these tanks will be shared among families, clinics, schools, and rest house owners in ward 9.
