District Disaster Management Team in Leribe is preparing to distribute food packages in villages to be identified starting from next week.
The District Disaster Manager Mr. Mare Keketsi said, the district has been allocated 2400 bags of maize meal and 2400 bags of beans and they are to be distributed to 2400 households in the district, saying the list is limited so much that it will not cover all the community councils.
He indicated that they are to interact with other ministries and non-governmental organizations with the intention of verifying interventions as not to duplicate the processes of giving to the same residents.
Keketsi said they managed to buy 2728 bags of maize and 303 bags of beans, adding that, compared to last year, the number of bags for the beans has declined by a 1000.
