The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform, and Rural Development has suspended all Presidential Employment Stimulus vouchers, with immediate effect.
The department says it is reviewing, re-engineering, and redesigning its implementation after receiving complaints from PES beneficiaries and the public about implementation challenges.
Vouchers were meant to support any agricultural initiative to improve food security and create and retain jobs.
Beneficiaries will receive notifications on the updates.
