THE State Government should consider additional spending to finance rural projects that bring good and great impact on the rural communities, said Nabawan Assemblyman Datuk Abdul Ghani Mohamed Yassin.
He said more funding be given to rural projects that provide basic amenities or infrastructure that benefit villagers.“For example, on the issue of supplying clean water, the government can do research to explore tube well systems and gravity pipes that can be developed in rural areas to overcome insufficiency of water and as an effort to ensure the rural communities get clean water supply.
He said the Government should allocate a certain amount of funds to maintain or upgrade former logging roads, which have now become the main access roads for rural communities particularly in the interior.He said such roads have become main routes for the villagers and a necessity as they could not wait for the government to provide proper roads to them.
“Seeing this situation, I feel very sad and I request that this matter be looked into and refined by the State Government so that there are additional provision for the purpose of dealing with these issues,” he said. “What is the current status of our Rural Electricity Supply and Jendela projects? Are these projects still going ahead or how?” he said.
He said AET is not exclusively for rural people to venture into but communities in the suburbs and cities could also be given the opportunity to explore AET.
