KAPIT: Kapit is all set for Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg’s official visit to launch Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) Zone 11 at Rumah Robert Nyumbang, Nanga Sebatu, opposite Sungai Melipis, Batang Rajang here on July 28.
Bukit Goram assemblyman Jefferson Jamit Unyat recently chaired the organising committee’s final meeting held at the conference room of Bletih State Complex on behalf of Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr James Jemut Masing.
He said everything was set for the programnme.
Jamit pointed out that Rumah Robert had been chosen for the programme because of its strategic location at Nanga Sebatu, Batang Rajang which is between Kapit and Song district.
He added it would be very convenient for the people of the two districts to attend the function as the longhouse was accessible by road and river.
He added the 50-door modern and well-equipped longhouse would be able to accommodate a few thousand people who would come for the function.
He recalled the GPS road show was held earlier at Rumah Benggau, Nanga Sut last year.
After the meeting Jamit and entourage visited Rumah Robert Ngumbang to inspect the facilities available at the longhouse.
With Jamit were Deputy Kapit Resident Galong Luang, Kapit Divisional Engineer Anding Unchi, ASP Chiew Swoi Kee and Inspector Mackey Hirano.
Upon arrival, they were met at the longhouse by Tuai Rumah Robert Ngumbang and the JKKK chairman Watson Awan.
