POLITICIAN CHANGES.THE SYSTEM DOES NOT CHANGE.

Time and again we the people of Goilala has blamed our politicians as the sole culprits behind the decay and breakdown of basic services in our District.

To a certain, extent we are correct with this notion.

Politicians are the people who are supposed to be leading from the front line.

Ensuring they come up with the correct practical policy framework to be implemented in Goilala over a 5-year…

GOILALA DISTRICT'S SHARE FROM PSIP UNKNOWN

GOILALA DISTRICT’S SHARE FROM PSIP UNKNOWN

Under the Laws and Guidelines governing the distribution of PSIP by Provincial Governments amongst each District in the Province, each District is supposed to received K5million each yearly.

Central Province has 4 Districts – Abau, Rigo, Kairuku and Goilala. Going by the PSIP allocation per Province, Central Province gets K5m x 4 Districts = K20million.

DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Act 2014. PART II. – MAIN PROVISIONS FOR DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITIES.

5. FUNCTIONS OF AUTHORITIES.

(e) to determine and control the budget allocation priorities for the Local-level Governments in the district; and

Going by the District Development Authority Act 2014, Goilala District Development Authority under the watch of Hon William Samb and his District Administrator Mr Titus Girau has blatantly and deliberately breached the DDA Act 2014  by funding the road maintenance work in sections of Goilala Highway deep within the Kairuku Hiri District.

Central Province has 4 Districts. Abau, Rigo, Kairuku Hiri and Goilala District, with Kairuku Hiri been the largest in land mass compared to other 3 Districts.

Abau District people when they want to get to Abau, have to pass through Rigo District. So does the Goilala people. Goilala people drive through Kairuku Hiri District.

The tricky bit comes to the forefront in the use of DSIP fundings [District Service and Infrastructure Project]

In the case of Goilala people, Goilala Highway passes through a fair deal of Kairuku Hiri District before reaching the border of the two Districts at Utalama bridge.

Isn’t it logical for Kairuku Hiri DDA to allocate funding for repair, upgrade, maintenance of the Kairuku Hiri section of Goilala Highway? Or since its Goilala people’s Highway, Goilala DDA will have to solely fund the repair, upgrade, maintenance work on Goilala Highway?

The state of the Goilala Highway has deplorable and is a death trap – an accident waiting to happen.

At the start of 2015, Goilala DDA has allocated K3million to 3 reputable companies to work on Goilala Highway. Kaia Works, TRB and Construct Oceanic were this 3 contractors engaged to work and they completed the job as expected

The contractors did the repair, maintenance and cleaning of the roads within the Goilala District borders as is prescribed in the DDA Act 2014.

With the deteriorating state of the Goilala Highway in the Kairuku Hiri District, Goilala DDA has recently approved and used Goilala people DSIP funds to repair, maintain and clean up this Kairuku Hiri section of Goilala Highway between Utalama Bridge and Baba bridge. The distance covered is close to 20km.

Hence the question – Is this legally OK? Or this is a clear breach of DDA Act 2014?

Honorable William Samb and his District Administrator Mr Titus Girau and the entire DDA Board needs to explain why Goilala people money is now been used in Kairuku Hiri District? Photos here shows MP Goilala visiting TRB contractors working on the Utalama to Baba Bridge section of the Goilala Highway.

The issue of cross-border project funding has been raised on this Blog before and is now been raised again. Kairuku DDA must Complement Goilala DDA on inter-border Projects

Goilala DDA and Kairuku DDA needs to work together to address this issue. The issue must not be addressed by Goilala DDA only. The issue has to be addressed by both MP for Goilala Honorable William Samb and Kairku Hiri MP Honorable Peter Isoaimo.

In the meantime, Goilala DDA, under the watch of Honorable William Samb has literally breached the DDA Act 2014 and is liable for investigation by Office of Rural Development and Department of Planning and Monitoring.

Can someone alert the ORD and Department of Planning and Monitoring about what the Goilala DDA is doing in Kairuku Hiri District with Goilala people’s DSIP?

A Ten million kina submission for Tapini SHHS to be upgraded to Secondary school knocked back due to concerned stakeholders not committing their share for COUNTERPART FUNDING.

And I believe that this is the first time a submission of such forwarded by Bereina Dioceses Project office was overlooked.

This is a total let down for District and the Agency because of Government of the day including the Provincial, District, and the Prime Minister’s office.

Information from a close source of Diocese project office stated that our school submission was in the final list for funding but dropped.

If only we had that 20percent of the ten million we would have the first Grade Eleven next year 2017. Source: Post by Albert Alex Kaita  on Goilala District Discussion Forum Facebook group.
