The Southern Highlands Governor William Powi has allocated the second batch of funding of K500,000 for the completion of the East Pangia Road.
He presented the cheque to Yau Contractors, a local construction company, last weekend at Apenda, Pangia witnessed by hundreds of people.
This brings the total funding allocated by the Provincial Government for the
Pangia Station to Apenda Village road to K1 million during Governor Powi’s short
stint in office.
The first K500,000 was allocated in December 2012 to Yau Contractors who satisfactorily completed the job. The 30,000 people of East Pangia and their community leaders commended the Governor for funding the deteriorating condition of the road.
East Pangia’s four Ward Councillors Pimi Taita, Tike Akowai, Paul Kilinga, Carlton Punupo commended the Governor to support their local MP and Prime Minister to develop key infrastructure.
They said they have never seen tangible services and developments in a place like Pangia and there has been nothing on the ground to reflect the existence of a good Provincial Government.

Councillor Pimi Taita of Pangia Station Ward 1 said though their local MP and
Prime Minister Peter O’Neil funded major infrastructure at the district,
Governor Powi’s funding assistance fully complimented O’Neil’s efforts.
“The Governor’s support and commitment to the people of East Pangia shows his unwavering support and commitment to work closely with the local MP to develop basic infrastructures.
“We haven’t seen the local MP and the Governor working together for the common good of the people,” he said.

Mr Taita said the people of Pangia can see the Governments presence and support
which isn’t another ground breaking ceremony adding to the many potholes they
already have.
The leaders also praised the Governor for the change of culture in Mendi where Governors are followed with convoys of vehicles and supporters are paid huge amounts of money for bogus claims at the expense of the people.
Mr Henry Yakura thanked and praised Mr Powi for having the confidence in his company and the quality of work he has delivered to award his company the contract for the second time.
