” I can confirm to you that we have indeed completed 31 kilometers in the last seven or so months. This can be verified.

” 17 kilometers of roads are also ongoing. These are in various stages of completion. We are speeding up work on those new roads to increase our completed kilometers before long.

“Aside the 17km, we have also listed out another 30 kilometers. The selection and survey process have been completed and we hope to start work as soon as soon as possible.

” You may also want to note that massive work is ongoing on bridge reconstruction, culvert upgrades and channelisatiom work across the state
