He emphasized that the government remains focused on strengthening healthcare delivery, improving access to quality education, and expanding access to safe drinking water across the constituency.
“Our responsibility does not end with awarding contracts. We must be present, monitor progress, and ensure that the people get real value from these projects,” the MP stated.
The District Chief Executive, Hon. George Lakoba Tanei, commended the President for his continued support for development initiatives in the constituency. He assured residents that the Assembly would intensify supervision and monitoring to ensure that contractors adhere strictly to project specifications and complete all works within agreed timelines.
The inspection exercise assessed the pace of work, quality of construction, and contractors’ compliance with contractual obligations. Contractors were cautioned to maintain high standards of professionalism and deliver projects that meet approved technical requirements.
Chiefs and residents of the beneficiary communities expressed appreciation to the President, the MP, and the DCE for responding to their needs and turning campaign-time assurances into concrete development projects.
