COUNCILLOR for Mataniko ward, Eric Tema has been providing assistance to community members in his ward recently.

The financial assistance has been distributed to families and community groups.

This is part of Tema’s ongoing assistance to his ward from the ward grants received for the first quarter of this year.

“By giving back to the people and community is one of my priority and as a leader, I am pleased in doing so. Though it may not be enough, I believe it can assist them with their plans,” he said.

Tema further added that those who have not received their shares, will be able to get them in the next grant allocation.

One of the recipient, Alice Kalota from Marble Street in Mataniko ward said it is such a timely assistance for her and family for the beginning of this year.

“I’m really grateful to Cr Tema for his continues support to those of us in the communities. It shows his concern for us who are always struggling to make ends meet, to support our families.

“It is not the first time he has assisted us, and for this I applaud him for his continues support,” Mrs Kalota added.
