Mahaicony farmers complained that they continue to be hampered by seasonal flooding and they need help to rehabilitate the koker and stelling, when Prime Minister Samuel Hinds toured the Region Five community last week.
Residents told the prime minster that despite lodging several complaints at the drainage and irrigation division, nothing has been done to alleviate their woes, at a meeting hosted by the Central Mahaicony Perth Village Farmers Association. They also said that they need assistance to fix the Mahaicony koker and stelling and land clearing equipment.
According to a Government Information Agency (GINA) report, the prime minister pledged to alert the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority about the flooding problems. He then lauded the progress pig farmers have made since they were last given assistance. The Institute of Private Enterprise Development donated $150,000
