Wageningen University & Research opens outpost on Marakei
The Dutch university WUR has completed talks with the MELAD, which have resulted in various measures to boost the productivity of agricultural industries going forwards, as well as protect this industry from the effects of natural disasters. The first undertaking is a stronger examination of the methods used to drain farmland after events like the recent tsunami. These moves are expected to make TKB more popular among farmers.
However, many have criticised the specifics of the decision, pointing out that Marakei is the constituency of the Minister of MELAD, Ruateki Tekaiara. Not only standard political enemies like the BKM, but more neutral figures have denounced this as a clear instance of a minister placing the needs of his constituency above those of the nation. Furthermore, it has damaged the earlier popularity boost among farmers, many of whom on other islands lament that theirs was not chosen for this opportunity. On the other hand, it has been noted that his popularity within his constituency has reached new heights, particularly off the back of his quick and decisive measures regarding the tsunami, which averted major harm to the populace.
