He also spoke on the long-standing ancestral relationship between the communities and urged them to remain in harmony.
The presentation was made on his behalf by elder statesman Simon Shango. The relief items include 200 bags of rice, 200 bags of beans, mattresses and cooking materials. The materials will be handled by the pastor in charge of NKST Asukunya, with a committee to be drawn from the affected kindreds for onward distribution.
