The Prime Minister has reminded the people of Naitasiri that the government will see that the poor people are assisted with food rations worth $30 every month which is currently handled by the Social Welfare Ministry.

Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama made the comments at the Naqali Bridge opening in Naitasiri.

He said people need to be aware that government is already working on the upgrading of roads, construction of bridges, assisting school children with their bus fares, school books from classes one to eight, rural electrification and upgrading water pumps.

He adds with this move, he is urging people to work hard and to not be swayed by some politicians who sweet talk and make false promises and who only think of their own pockets.

Yesterday Bainimarama officially opened the new Naqali bridge.
