Vice Minister for Mining and MP for Chuave Wera Mori
was in his electorate to open the sealed Chuave/Movi road at Pira
Primary School in the Siane LLG of Chuave district, Simbu Province on
Tuesday.
A bumper crowd packed Pira Primary School to witness
the opening of the road funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and
an initiative of Mr Mori.
Essential government services with other developments
will reach the people if there is a proper road network system in
place, Mr Mori said. The ceremony coincided with the independence
celebrations of the country.
Chuave has three local level governments, last year
the independence celebration was held at Elimbari and this year at Siane
LLG, Chuave will host next year’s celebrations.
“We can only talk about receiving other basice
government services if there is a proper road network in place otherwise
people will continue to suffer so priority must be given to roads,” Mr
Mori said.
Some prominent businessmen in Chuave commended Mr
Mori for giving priority to roads and pledged to donate 10 diesel drums
each. Mr Mori said as the MP for Chuave, he would play a vital role to
captain the district positively to another level.
He said he has made a presentation to ADB to secure
funds to link Movi to Ungai in the Eastern Highlands Province and has
put K250, 000 for counterpart funding.
Mr Mori hinted that he would continue to work and ADB
would intervene later. Former National Planning Secretary Peter Kora
said this particular road may become the exit road for Highlands Highway
