Taiwanese Ambassador, Victor Yu, announced the release of the funds this yesterday.

A statement from the Taiwanese office in Honiara says the funding support, worth 11-point-two million dollars, is for 28 constituencies that delivered acquittal reports against the second RCDF payment last year.

Ambassador Yu said the funding will contribute to local development project and improve the quality of life for people in the rural areas.
