The Livelihood Sector Committee (LSC) of the National Disaster Operation Committees (N-DOC) today condemn in its strongest term the action of certain individuals going around collecting $5 fees from households before they can receive food relief assistance currently distributed to households in Honiara’s Emergency Zone.
A community member of Lunga told the LSC food relief distribution team that certain individuals within the Lunga Community have been collecting five dollars fees from each household, that unless a household pays the amount, they will not have their names recorded in the list for the next round of food relief assistance from the Livelihood Committee.
In condemning this illegitimate act, The Chair of the Livelihood Committee Michael Ho’ota advised that LSC does not collect nor charge any one in order to receive food relief, neither does it appointed any community livelihood committee to represent and act on its behalf and collected money from households.
