Producer of ginger mixed coconut chips, Martha Wuo, is calling on nongovernmental organizations to provide her support to enable her produce more of the consumable commodity.Madam Wuo began her production in 2014 in Gbarnga, Bong County and the commodity is the first of its kind which is gaining popularity in the country.She said, “I use local materials to grind the coconut and it is time consuming.”She noted that materials like grater, hammer mill, dryer, and sifters are what she would need to increase production.“I want to produce more of the commodity, but I do not have the money to buy these equipments and that’s why I am appealing to non-governmental organizations to help me in this venture,” she said.Madam Wuo said they are now four in the business and she believes that if they are empowered, they would have more people joining them.She said she learned her trade when she was in school in Ghana and later in the Ivory Coast.She disclosed that what prompted her to do the business is because she noticed that majority Liberians chew coconut but don’t swallow the fruit which she said is very helpful to the human body.“Coconut and ginger are very helpful to the body in terms of fever, cold. I don’t want what I’ve learned to be buried in the ground so I must empower others and make a living from it,” Madam Wuo said.She said her products are accepted with a growing number of customers and is hopeful that with support she could make her country proud.The local producer however encouraged Liberians to promote products made in the country to encourage other business owners to showcase their products.She disclosed that her next target is to bring the product to Monrovia and other counties. Coconut locally can be grinded and mixed with flour to fix fried or roasted cookies.The new initiated by Madam Wuo, however, takes into consideration grinding the coconut and then mixing it with ginger, sugar and patched into crispy chips.The chips are bottled for sale for LD$100.00.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

The Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG) has labelled the $20 across-the-board increase in minibus fares, expected to be active by September 1, a burden on the beleaguered working people.Dislocated minibuses parked outside Ashmin’s and Silvie’s Variety Store on High Street, GeorgetownThe union on Monday expressed its dissatisfaction over the fare hike, expressing that “it was disheartening for us that the Government, it seemed, did not take cognisance of what impacts the increases would have on the pockets of the working people.”According to FITUG, although it accepts that the operators have found themselves in a difficult position, taking into consideration the ban on used tyres and increases in the costs of licences and fitness in addition to other increases, the new increases, depending on the route, could work out to as much as a 25 per cent hike in fares.The Union pointed out that it believes the new fare structure would now require workers and their families, depending on the number of buses they would have to take, to fork out as much as several thousands more per month on transportation, though promised a ‘Good Life’ by the ruling Coalition Government.“Naturally, we expected the Administration would have sought to see what assistance the State could have lent to easing the woes of the bus operators, without placing additional burdens on our people. This is the approach any responsible Government would take as it seeks to protect its people’s well-being,” FITUG stated.Moreover, the Union asserted that it had high expectations of the Government to do ‘what is right and decent’. “Certainly, the Coalition had several possible fiscal measures at its disposal, but rather ‘uncreatively’ passed on the increased costs to hapless, overburdened Guyanese”, the agitated Union noted.In addition to the hike on minibus fares, FITUG also complained of the impending hike in water rates, which it said are being saddled on to the backs of our overburdened working people.The union added that while the administration boasts of high economic growth, “we find many of our people cannot cope with the pressures of life. This is not a healthy situation, and one we urge the Administration to pay careful attention to.”About one week ago, the Business Ministry announced that minibuses in the various routes would be benefiting from an additional $20 from each passenger, beginning on September 01.According to the Business Ministry, a new fare structure would be made available to minibus drivers, who would then be responsible for displaying same in their buses.President of the United Minibus Union (UMU), Eon Andrews, has said he is satisfied with the Ministry’s decision to implement a $20 increase. He said, “It might not be a lot, but we are satisfied.”The President of the Minibus Union had in June submitted a proposal for not only a fare increase, but for several other requests to ease the pressure on minibus operators.Although the call for a fare increase came at a time when fuel prices were constantly escalating, Andrews had noted that the call for the additional money was not only due to the fuel prices, but to several other issues. Because of this, the Union’s President said, even if the fuel prices were to be lowered, he would not be willing to drop the transportation costs.
1 Southampton striker Shane Long Southampton are likely to be without Shane Long for up to six weeks after the forward suffered fractured ribs during Saints’ FA Cup exit to Crystal Palace.The 28-year-old forward was forced off just 14 minutes after his introduction in the second half of Saturday’s fourth-round defeat at St Mary’s.The collision with Palace defender Joel Ward during the 3-2 loss saw Long taken to hospital and it is understood he now faces between four and six weeks out of action.The Republic of Ireland international fractured his ribs but did not sustain a punctured lung, contrary to reports, with his absence another big blow for Champions League-chasing Saints.Toby Alderweireld, Victor Wanyama and Morgan Schneiderlin are all unavailable at the moment through injury, joining long-term absentees Sam Gallagher and Jay Rodriguez in the treatment room.International commitments mean Sadio Mane, Emmanuel Mayuka and Maya Yoshida have reduced Ronald Koeman’s options further.
SACRAMENTO – People who collect signatures to place initiatives on the ballot would have to be California residents under a bill approved Thursday by the Assembly that Republicans criticized as a move to empower union campaigns. Legislation by Assemblywoman Jenny Oropeza, D-Carson, would strengthen state law to ensure that signature collectors are legitimate California residents. Lawmakers passed the bill along a party-line vote, 41-31. “They go from city to city collecting signatures and dollars,” Oropeza said of paid workers, who played a role in the 2003 recall of Gov. Gray Davis and other initiative drives in recent years. “They have no connection to our communities, to this state’s laws. They simply do it to collect a buck.” The bill is an attempt by some Democrats in the Legislature to tighten the initiative process so it is less susceptible to outside interest groups. 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

He said Oropeza’s approach does little to empower citizen voters because current law sets a 180-day limit to gather signatures. Oropeza said her bill was narrowly crafted to close legal loopholes in existing law.

Finn Harps have indicated that a ‘significant announcement’ will be made regarding their new stadium ‘inside weeks’.Harps supporters have long since feared for the embattled project, first mooted at the AGM of the Finn Harps Co-Operative Society as far back as 2004, to relocated the club across the Finn to Stranorlar.Finn Harps secretary John Campbell, manager Ollie Horgan and vice captain Keith Cowan. Picture by Joe Boland, North West News Pix Work has stalled on the development since late 2014. Four years ago, the skeleton of a stand was erected and can be seen from the Railway Road, but work halted and has yet to resume.At last year’s AGM, Harps announced former Sligo University Hospital General Manager and ex-North West Tourism Chief Executive Paul McLoone as their new Stadium Liaison Officer.The delay in the contract work is said to centre on issues with the drawdown of funding, but club secretary John Campbell says that all may not be lost.“There has been significant progress on it,” Mr Campbell told a press conference in the Mount Errigal Hotel, Letterkenny. “It has been frustrating at times. It has moved on.“We have had it said many times that it is going to happen. We are very hopeful that, inside weeks, that there will be a significant announcement on the stadium.The site of the new Harps stadium.“There have been a lot of false dawns on this, but in fairness to the people working on it, under Paul McLoone, there has been progress and it has progressed significantly. It is awaiting a decision to progress further.”Harps’ ‘matching funding’ for the ambitious development is in the form of the existing stadium on Navenny Street, Ballybofey and the club currently requires a derogation from the FAI to play at Finn Park.Despite playing in the First Division, Harps were granted a Premier Division licence for 2018.
