Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says these are challenging times and only the right people should receive the assistance.

While delivering the food rations to the residents of Vunivau in Labasa, Sayed-Khaiyum has urged people to be honest adding that the Advisory Councilors are making sure that the right people will get the assistance.

He also highlighted a case whereby a lady claimed she had not received any help but this was not true.

Sayed-Khaiyum and other government officials have been distributing food rations and other relief items in the Northern Division.
