District or Tikina representatives from the Lau Province were reminded of the important roles they play towards holistic development.

Speaking to them at the Southern Cross Hotel in Suva yesterday, the Minister for Agriculture and Waterways, Honourable Vatimi Rayalu, stressed the need for them to first understand their role and responsibilities.

"All the information about your Tikina should be at your fingertips. Gather all information from community members and approach the right Ministries and organisations for assistance and advice. Ensure that you are well informed of the communities that you serve,” said Hon. Rayalu.

He reminded the representatives that the issues faced by the people of Lau living in the urban centres are also their concern.

"The Ministry of Agriculture and Waterways is working very well with the rural communities and settlements to develop their land and assist those in need,"' said Hon Rayalu.

“This is all in a bid to raise our standard of living and ensure that we have three meals a day in our own family units,” added Hon. Rayalu.
