The people of Ward 14 in the Ihu LLG have received significant support from the Member for Kikori, Hon. Soroi Marepo Eoe with the purchase of a chainsaw.

Ward 14 consists of village; Belepa, Hiloi, Opuloria and Opa. Mr Moro Kivovia, a local leader representing these communities said “the communities have plans to improve their livelihood. Through this assistance, they plan to clear a huge plot of land to plant gardens as well as cut timber to build better homes and plant cocoa trees to increase income”.

Mr Kivovia further stated that “this chainsaw will further help the Opa Primary School as well as churches in the community. The chainsaw is worth more than K7,170.00.

The member for Kikori aims to assist communities that take the initiative to improve their livelihood instead of waiting on the government system for assistance. Initiatives like this enables communities to progress and enables further economic opportunities as well.

Mr Kivovia thanked Hon. Eoe and said “that this assistance would be a great help to the communities today and into the future”.
