KAPIT: Kapit MP Datuk Alexander Nanta Linggi and Bukit Goram assemblyman Jefferson Jamit Unyat recently paid a working visit to Rumah Empawi Anak Sawa, near Ulu Sungai Yong, Jalan Ulu Sungai Yong here.
One of the aims of their visit was to inspect the recently completed RM200,000 cement road from the junction of the Jalan Ulu Sungai Yong link to the longhouse.
In the evening, Nanta and Jamit attended a ‘Leaders and the People’ dialogue session held at the verandah of the longhouse.
Jamit told the press that the cement road was constructed under his Rural Transformation Project (RTP) fund.
He said the access road needed to be improved and upgraded because the longhouse folk had vehicles and many of them were working in Kapit.
“I would like the people here to know that all development projects are funded by the GPS state government led by Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.
“Our focus is to expedite infrastructure and amenity development in the rural areas to improve the quality of living of the people in the rural areas,” said Jamit.
Speaking on behalf of the people, village chief Empawi pledged their undivided support to Jamit and Nanta as their political leaders in Kapit. He thanked Jamit for approving their request to cement the access road.
Present were Kapit District Officer Cerisologo Sabut, state administrative officer Wan Shukri Mohamad, Kapit District Council deputy walikota Watson Awan, councillor Liew Hui Hua, penghulu Sia Shui Poh, heads of departments and community leaders.
