Amid protests by Port Kaituma residents over treacherous roads, the Ministry of Communities yesterday announced that it will be dispatching a team to the area to discuss the situation and firm up a community development plan.
In a Ministry statement, it was noted that the visit would be a follow-up on a previous trip taken by officials to the area last week to meet with residents and gather their input on a Local Area Economic Plan (LAEP). The ministry said that the turnout at the first meeting was “dismal and far from encouraging.”
The team will comprise Ministerial Liaison Mark Crawford; Principal Regional Development Officer Surendra Khayyam; Project Manager Naeem Khan; Member of Parliament (MP) Richard Allen and officials from the region.
