SUAKOKO, Bong County – The Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) through its Rural Economic Transformation Project (RETRAP) has presented a brand new 75 Horsepower tractor and three Yamaha motorbikes to the Central Agricultural Research Institute (CARI) in Suakoko, Bong County. Receiving the equipment on behalf of CARI, the Administrative Assistant to the Director General Sundesco Clarke extended gratitude to the Ministry of Agriculture through the project, noting that the donation was timely. To compound that dilemma, the only tractor at the institute is facing a serious mechanical fault that has caused a major breakdown in our operations. Currently, the lack of electricity for scientists and their families residing in the CARI compound is a serious challenge that affects research activities after the closure of the administrative office each evening. The provision of solar systems will complement continuous work by the scientists who are engaged in a lot of research activities beyond the usual working hours.
