The high chief of Rewa, Marama Bale na Roko Tui Dreketi, Ro Teimumu Kepa has raised concerns on the contributions that are to be given by different villages annually or the Soli ni Yasana because of their short fall last year.
While speaking at the opening of the Rewa Provincial Council meeting, Ro Teimumu says that she is very concerned about this.
Ro Teimumu says that the soli provides assistance to the provincial council to be able to fulfill its responsibility which is to look after the province.
She says the government funding which is called subvention, was $17,000.
Ro Teimumu says because the government only gave $17,000, there was a shortfall of $86,000.
She says because the province of Rewa was not able to fulfill the shortfall through Soli ni Yasana, their investment shares through FHL, ATH and Rewa Provincial Council Company limited was used to pay for the shortfall .
Ro Teimumu also called on the people of Rewa residing in urban areas to help contribute to their Soli ni Yasana as there is a lot of unemployment in the province.
