Access to clean drinking water is a blessing.

This was highlighted by the Minister of Lands and Mineral Resources, Filimoni Vosarogo, while commissioning the borehole project at Karoko Village, Tunuloa, and Cakaudrove yesterday.

Vosarogo highlighted that Karoko Village is so fortunate to have access to water compared to other villages in Fiji that may not yet have access.

He says Suva is currently facing a major drought since there has been no rain for the past few months, and Karokos borehole should be able to see them through such periods.
