The Member of Parliament for East Makira constituency, Franklyn Wasi, has expressed his gratitude to the People’s Republic of China for its ongoing support through the Rural Sustainable Development Program (RSDP) in his constituency.
The latest contribution comes in the form of Outboard Motor (OBM) boats. Of the targeted 30 boats, 24 have already been successfully delivered.
In a recent social media post, MP Wasi thanked China for its continued partnership with East Makira.
“To date, 24 boats have been successfully completed, with six more to go to reach our total target of 30.
“This steady progress demonstrates the effectiveness of our partnership and the tangible impact of this program on our communities,” he wrote.
He also confirmed that 30 engines were procured and collected from Y-Sato in February this year, ensuring that all necessary equipment is in place for the full completion of the project.
MP Wasi highlighted that this initiative reflects the constituency’s strong commitment to supporting rural communities.
“This progress reflects our shared commitment to strengthening rural livelihoods, improving transportation access, and expanding economic opportunities for the people of East Makira.
“We deeply value this partnership and look forward to the successful completion of the program and its lasting benefits for our communities,” he said.
The constituency office will soon advise on arrangements for transporting the boats and other items to the constituency.
