Other issues raised included the designation of Wakura as a horticulture zone, improvements to irrigation canals, ensuring seed availability at the agriculture office, and addressing staff shortages at the animal husbandry office, particularly the absence of a veterinary doctor.
The public also demanded upgrades to playfield infrastructure, creation of employment opportunities, establishment of a Skill Development Institute, and the development of a recreational park for children.
