And speaking at the same event, Director for Community Development, Mrs Patricia Muyamwa, encouraged the beneficiaries to commit to paying back so that more life changing opportunities are created for them.

She emphazised that the money which they pay as recoveries is theirs, and meant to be used to improve lives and create more opportunities apart from the empowerment they get from government through the Ministry.

Mrs Muyamwa said the pay backs have facilitated for the procurement of life changing agricultural equipments, and should therefore be implemented in other parts of the country in order to have rounded development.
