John Thasun told Adom News that they are not able to go to most of their major revenue collection points for revenue because of the deplorable states of the road.

He explained that some roads have been awarded to contract but contractors say they cannot work in the rainy season.

He said it is his wish that all roads in the Municipality will be constructed before his term of office elapsed.

Some residents also told Adom News that most of their farm produce have been left to rot in their farms due to bad roads because vendors no longer come to buy as they go through hectic time coming to the area.

Lack of potable water

Mr Thasun also lamented over inadequate access to clean water in the area.

According to him, the situation has compelled a lot of people to drink water with animals as others travel a long distance to look for water, a situation he describes as very worrying.

He says even though the Municipal has drilled some boreholes for some communities, some are still facing challenges due to insufficient budget.

He revealed this when World Vision organized a programme dubbed WASH to support the town.

He was, however, grateful to World Vision for supporting them with various intervention programmes, especially their WASH Programme.
