Covalima, December 26, 2024 (Média Democracia) – The Village Community Authority of Ogues, Suai, Covalima asked the government not to forget the promises they had made to the Ogues community regarding clean water irrigation and roads.
In an interview with the Head of Ogues Village, Febriano Atok Pereira said that clean water and roads are very important parts to meet daily needs, talking about water, the reality is that the Ogues community has long faced clean water constraints, they only use springs in the river to meet their daily needs, besides that, the community also has to walk with a very long distance from home to the water source, which is almost 2 km.
“Another problem that is also faced by the people of Ogues Village is the problem of clean water, besides that the road is also an obstacle for the people of Ogues Village to transport their produce to the market, for that reason we ask the government, especially the MOP, to speed up the tender process so as not to hinder the mobility of the people and transportation.” Said the Head of Ogues Village
He continued, other parties as the existence of the village community always demand the government, especially the ninth government, to be accountable for the promises that have been made to the community regarding community needs such as clean water and roads, because so far these problems have long been experienced by the people of Ogues Village.
The President of the Covalima Municipal Authority, Miguel Armanda Cardoso added that speaking of clean water and roads, there is a work of a city called Public Works that also has enough funds to respond to roads, so the president of the Municipal Authority handed over responsibility for these issues to Public Works.
“The roads are a problem or concern for the community and also all of us in Covalima, the roads that are connected to the posts and villages are not good, we have a plan that has been identified in the system that will be made but next year the rural roads will be handed over to Public Works to be responsible because they are already in the system,” he said.
He added that Ogues Village has entered the hope system that next year it can be implemented and also regarding clean water, they are still waiting for PNDS Covalima to pay attention to see both of these things in order to reduce community concerns.
