“We might not have been able to address issues in the most appropriate ways so give us your feedback for us to improve,” Uggah, who is also the minister in-charge of the unit, said. Uggah said Abang Johari has also allocated a 1.3ha piece of prime land in Kuching for the construction of the unit’s office building, the New House of Epiphany.
Uggah, who is the minister of agriculture, native land and regional development, called on the Anglican church to encourage its parishioners from its 40 parishes state-wide to help in the state agriculture transformation programmes.
