President: Embrace change

SOUTHERN Highlands deputy governor Andrew Kenoa recently presented pigs and money to relatives of those who died in a tribal fight in Sugu Valley, Kagua.
He presented 70 pigs and K60,000 and told the people to change their attitudes, embrace development and live in peace this year.
Kenoa, who is also a local level government president from Kagua, made the remarks at the presentation on New Year’s Eve.
“Children in other districts are attending schools without fear and intimidation,” he said.
“Many of the children from Kagua-Erave have left school and are in the village.
“They need to go back to school in February when the academic year starts.”
Kenoa said tribal fights and other law and order issues hindered the flow of vital Government services resulting in innocent people suffering.
“Development takes place when there is peace, it attracts investors, donors and other organisations to work with the provincial government and district development authorities to bring tangible development,” he said.
