Over 2,000 Region Two cash and livestock farmers who were severely affected by the massive flooding in May will be receiving promised flood relief payouts from government on Tuesday. 

Cheques will be given to each farmer in amounts based on the assessment conducted by extension officers within the region. Farmers will receive aid based on their scale of production whether commercial or kitchen garden.
