He told the media after appearing before the Local Government and Rural Development Committee public hearing on the Internal Audit Report on Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) for the year ended 2024, that the road network in the district is bad and requires serious intervention.

“Our road network is bad, and we also have inadequate educational facilities,” he said. “Security visibility is so poor because we do not have a police command of our own. But I’ve written letters to the IGP and other stakeholders, and I believe very soon we will have a police command established.”

On secondary education, the DCE disclosed that the district had secured approval for a new secondary school at Daffiama, which he described as a major boost for education in the area.

“I’m happy to indicate that we’ve gotten approval for a secondary school for our district capital. We’ve written proposals, and the stakeholders from DBI helped a lot. The process is ongoing, and soon a contractor will be on site,” he said.

On internally generated funds, Mr. Wor admitted that the assembly is still struggling but noted that improvements had been made.

He also commended the Member of Parliament for the area, Dr. Sebastian Sandaare, for his continuous support toward development initiatives.

“The MP is doing very well,” he said. “Through his own initiative, he has drilled more than 40 boreholes in the constituency. He’s always been with the people, supporting both social and community activities — that’s why the people call him ‘Dola’.”

The DCE reaffirmed his commitment to transparency and accountability, promising to ensure that all development projects in the district are executed with integrity and in the best interest of residents.
