“No Plans To Rebuild Pakalinding Ice Plant”
SoS Fisheries
By Bubacarr K. Sowe
Yankuba Touray, the Secretary of State for Fisheries and Water Resources, has said that his Department of State has no plans to rebuild the Pakalinding Ice Plant in the Lower River Region.
SOS Touray was responding to a question from the National Assembly Member for Jarra West, Njie Darboe, who believed that the ice plant had been very useful to farmers in the Lower River Region.
“I would like to inform the august assembly that my Department of State has no plans to rebuild the Pakalinding Ice Plant. However, my Department of State is on the verge of developing a project document for possible funding from our development partners to establish cold storage facilities in strategic locations across the country, including Soma in the Lower River Region,” the SOS said.
Mr. Touray added that the Pakalinding Ice Plant could be revisited by the local government to revitalise it through the decentralisation process.
He also stated that the private sector can also venture in to rebuilding the plant.
