It must although be noted that The Adanyi Committee’s inputs as he presented back to the plenary for adoption, didn’t affect the financial basics of the budget as initially presented by Hon Tseen.

Meanwhile, the PDP Chairman Kwande Chapter, Hon Terkula Adzua Ikyur has told KSN that the implementation of the budget of rural transformation is on course.

          The committee further observed that, there is every need for the construction of Health clinic at Dio Mbalumun in Agbaikyan  ward.

          Also, the construction of culvert on Mvaan, Ukpa streams on Mbaiwen axis of Adikpo ring road, on Ukuu stream and War II stream Koti-Apera Ihonam Mbainenge kindred should also be not left out as this would ease transportation from Agbaikyan Council Ward.

          Finally the Agbaikyan Council Hall needs renovation that would befit the status of our traditional rulers and should be given the deserved attention.

 

It must although be noted that The Adanyi Committee’s inputs as he presented back to the plenary for adoption, didn’t affect the financial basics of the budget as initially presented by Hon Tseen.

 

 

 Hon Edmund Tartsea Anshase moved that the motion be made into a bill and he was supported by Hon. Tyokase Augustine Aondover (PDP, Kumakwagh).

 

Meanwhile, the PDP Chairman Kwande Chapter, Hon Terkula Adzua Ikyur has told KSN that the implementation of the budget of rural transformation is on course. In an exclusive chat with KSN, he revealed that council has commenced construction of culverts around Adikpo town, The Amile bridge at Ichol, District Council Hall at Adikpo and many others in the villages. When our reporters visited the site of the Council Hall at Adikpo located at Mbaamandeev Clinic off Adikpo Koti Yough Road early this month, they reportedly saw work in progress.
