In his address to the affected farmers, the MINAT boss said contrary to rumours that the money was to be deposited in the bank accounts of the beneficiaries, the Head of State has decided that the farmers should be paid in cash and no dime should be deducted from their money. He said it was a special birthday gift to them, given that February 13 is the birthday of the Head of State.

He cautioned them to avoid chaos, preach peace and living together, requesting the leaders of the various communities to always use legal and administrative means to present their problems.
