Residents of Somata and Pepesala estate on Russell Islands Plantation Estate Limited (RIPEL) says they are prepared to defend themselves in court regarding the unlawful shipment of copra as claimed by the RIPEL Management.
In a Service Message broadcasted via SIBC recently, the RIPEL management condemned the Somata and Pepesala estate residents for shipping unlawful copra produces last week.
But a Willie Tefoi said, Somata and the Pepesala estate residents are always faithful in complying with RIPEL management decisions.
