Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has urged traditional leaders of Matuku Island in Lau to support and cooperate with government efforts in the distribution of relief items to those affected by Tropical Cyclone Harold.
This is in response to requests for proper housing as many houses were destroyed on the island of Matuku.
Bainimarama reassured the people of Matuku that government will provide all the necessary rehabilitation works on the island.
He spoke to the traditional leaders on the need to ensure that government officials serving on the island are properly accommodated, and for the villagers to assist in the building of homes that were destroyed during TC Harold.
Bainimarama also officiated at the launch of the sawmill machine that will assist in providing materials for the construction of these homes.
Prime Minister visited the Ratu Mocevakaca Memorial School earlier and is expected to visit Makadru village this afternoon before departing for Kadavu.
