CHRISTMAS a time that people from all over the world celebrate
the birth of Christ, Son of God born into this world more than 2000 years ago to
save all mankind from their sins and give them hope.
It is also a time when individuals, friends, families and people from all walks of life get together and reflect on the past and look into the future with great hope and expectation of a brighter future.
Upon this basis, the Member for Mendi Munihu electorate De Kewanu used this year’s Christmas occassion to announce his plan of hope for his electorate - that he intends to see that all roads in his electorate are fixed.
After more that 30 years of living and accessing a deteriorated road network this is a great relief to his people.
Mr Kewanu is allocating K450,000 as an emergency response to address the deteriorating roads in his electorate, starting off with the Upper Mendi area.
Mr Kewanu announced this at Mogol Secondary School ground as a Christmas gift to the people last Saturday.
Mr Kewanu said road upgrading and sealing in the electorate was a priority for his government and administration.
“Road upgrading and sealing in Mendi Munihu electorate is my priority. For so many years, we have been deprived and suffered from accessing better roads despite the greater revenue our province generate from the resources in our soil.
“Therefore, my government is giving priority to all roads that are accessible or not accessible to be upgraded and sealed,” he said.
Mr Kewanu said the road projects in the electorate would be managed and inspected by the project managers, a newly established management group comprising engineers, accountants, managers and other required professions that was set up by his administration.
He said the project managers would make sure money or funds that were put into the electorate by his government or provincial government, National Government or donor agencies for projects in the electorate were implemented with money value.
“The project management group would comprises sons and daughters of Mendi who are professionals in various fields and who are transparent, accountable and have good testimony in their careers.
“I am putting together this project management group of professionals because many past years’ funds were released but the actual projects on the ground were not implemented.
“Mendi and Southern Highlands Province are known for giving contracts to companies who deliver the projects half-way or projects are not of money value.
“This time nothing will be served under the table. Projects will be given to reputable companies but will be managed by the project management group in making sure the projects are delivered and implemented with the value of money,” Mr Kewanu said.
He said the upgrading of the Upper Mendi road would commence early January 2013
