Opposition Leader and Member of Parliament for Aoke/Langalanga constituency, Mathew Wale has been praised by his constituents for a seaweed project.
One of the farmers, Eddie Basikolo from Busu community, said the Aoke/Langalanga Constituency Office recognised their daily struggles and initiated a seaweed farming project for them.
He expressed that farming seaweed will benefit them in the future, especially by providing food and income as well as enabling them to cater for their children’s school fees and other essential needs.
“We are very happy that the Aoke/Langalanga Constituency office came up with this initiative. This farming project will surely benefit us in terms of generating income and creating labor opportunities for people,” he said.
“This will cease the unemployment issue in our constituency and support us in paying our students’ tuition fees and other essential basic needs,” he added.
In the meantime, Basikolo said their seaweed plants are currently in the nursery stage and will later be distributed to each family member when they are ready.
“Currently, we are still in the state of nurturing our seaweed, and when it is ready, we will transplant it to each of our families throughout the constituency.
“And also, at the moment, only selected farmers are looking after the nurseries,” he said.
It is understood that seaweed plants are known for their importance in providing food and generating income, and they contribute to the economy of this country.
