Generators Will Power Services In Rural Communities, says Minister Seruiratu

They are important for government stations also, minister adds.

The importance of providing services to our rural commu­nity was highlighted by the Minister for Agriculture, Rural and Maritime Development, Na­tional Disaster Management and Meteorology Inia Seruiratu.This was during his visit to the North­ern Division recently.

He said the Ministry of Infrastruc­ture and Transport (MOIT) had supplied two generators to provide power supply for rural communi­ties in Bua and a key government station.

“Government has hired two gen­erators from Suva which will be running for as long as they're re­quired,” Mr Seruiratu said.

He said the generators were im­portant because they would service part of the rural community in Bua, and a key government station.

“They depend on the generator for power supply, particularly the hos­pital in Bua.

“As minister responsible for ru­ral development, I wanted to make sure that services are not affected and I acknowledge the work done by MOIT in providing the genera­tors,” Mr Seruiratu said.
