MEMBER of Parliament for Ngella Constituency, Choylin Douglas has reaffirmed her commitment to driving infrastructure and agriculture development in the constituency.

Speaking recently, Mrs Douglas said the long-awaited road project for Small Gela’s Boli District is expected to commence soon, pending final cost and scoping reports from the Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID).

“The road assessment was completed two months ago, and we are still waiting on the final reports. Once received, implementation will begin,” she said.

In the meantime, the constituency office has already purchased 10,000 nursery coconut seedlings, and Douglas is encouraging both existing and new farmers to begin clearing and preparing their land for planting.

“Our goal is to plant 20,000 coconuts this year. Our CDO and the team will be visiting communities to talk more about agriculture, including our plans to plant at least 40,000 cocoa trees,” she said.

She also announced that members of the CDC will soon begin screening project applications, including initiatives focused on improving water and sanitation services across Ngella.

Douglas, who also serves as the Minister for Culture and Tourism, emphasised that her top priority remains boosting agriculture and tourism as key drivers of rural development.
