Since taking office, the Member for Mul-Baiyer-Lumusa, Hon. Jacob Kop Maki wasted no time to kick-starting the road projects in the District. This include the construction of new roads, maintenance of and maintenance of bridges.
The existing roads and bridges had no maintenance since Independence. Those have been overlooked by successive governments. Under the prudent yet visionary leadership of Hon. Jacob Kop Maki, MP, the DDA has identified vital road networks and and have commenced work already.

We also have a number of bridges that are being maintained. They include the following;

The reconstruction of the Gumanch Bridge was one of the first projects undertaken by the MP after taking office.
It was also made possible by the donations and support given by private firm, Island Mobile Hire Cars.
There are more development challenges ahead but everything is worth taking smaller steps.
The roads and bridges in Baiyer and Lumusa will also see similar improvements in the months and years ahead.
The MP, his DDA and the contractors urge everyone to work together in ensuring that meaningful services reach our people.
