THE people of Sasamuga village in South Choiseul, Choiseul Province, have acknowledged caretaker Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele for his support following the devastation caused by severe Tropical Cyclone Maila.
In a written message, Chairman of the Sasamuga Community Disaster Committee, Tani Kiko expressed gratitude to Manele for taking time to visit the people of Sasamuga after the cyclone.
He said the visit demonstrated that Manele and his government genuinely cared for the welfare of the people affected by the disaster.
“On behalf of the people of Sasamungga, we expresses deep appreciation for Hon. Manele’s leadership, service, and especially his solidarity visits to Sasamungga during a time of need.
“The South Choiseul Constituency Office is equally grateful for the support, kindness, and attention shown to our people through the leadership of Hon. Jeremiah Manele and our Member of Parliament, Hon. Tozen Leokana.
“May God continue to bless Hon. Jeremiah Manele, his family, his constituency, and his continued service to our nation,” Kiko said.
Sasamuga village was among the communities badly affected by the category five tropical cyclone, suffering extensive damage to infrastructure and properties.
Parts of the community clinic and classrooms were destroyed during the cyclone, while many families also lost personal belongings and other properties.
Mr Manele and his delegation visited Sasamuga weeks after the disaster as part of a solidarity tour to witness firsthand the destruction caused by the cyclone and to meet affected communities.
The visit was welcomed by villagers, who described it as a sign of support and encouragement during a difficult period of recovery.
