“We are about to form a new government upon which we call to include tobacco farmers, and fishermen in the National Social Security Fund and to increase the selling prices in a manner that goes along with the rising cost of living and the growing cost of agriculture. We also call on the government to offer agricultural loans without interest and to adopt a comprehensive national agricultural plan that restores the position of this important economic sector and brings back the people to their land.”
