The Chairman House Committee on Public Accounts (Local) at the Assembly also disclosed that the beneficiaries will receive training and be equipped with a containerized meat shop.

He noted that the shops, to be situated in Mushin, will be outfitted with modern amenities including air conditioning, freezers, cooling fans, cutting tables, generators, water tanks, electronic scales, and display freezers.
