“In line with our vision and passion for my dear people of AMAC, I will continue to say it again that bringing rural renewal project, such as this, to our communities will enable residents to enjoy the dividends of democracy and feel the impact of good governance and prosperity, which we are committed to promote,” Maikalangu stated.
“I wish to emphasis here that this project conforms with the campaign promises we made before our election,” the Chairman said.
“We promised development, development and more development across the 12 electoral wards of the Council in the best interest of the people,” he emphasized.
“I recall that during my election, I promised to run an open and inclusive government; an administration where citizens are entitled to contribute, especially on areas of deciding on the type and form of projects they desired.
“In that regard, most of the projects we celebrate today, especially road construction, falls within the preferences of the largely disadvantaged rural communities.” said Maikalangu.
He noted: “The need to provide basic infrastructures such as this cannot be over-emphasised. It makes life much easier as it facilitates meaningful lives, enhance commerce and enables residents to carry out their economic activities and improve their living conditions without stress.”
“To this end, we have focused more on roads construction and rehabilitation within one year of this administration even though we have also strived in the provision of rural electrification, water and educational development, among others,” he said.
