He said
immediately he was sworn in as mayor he started opening up roads which was an
unavoidable first step towards realizing this dream of transforming his
municipality from a big village to a modern city. He was speaking in an
interview he granted Edev Newspaper recently in his Bambili
home.
He however
concedes that with the advent of Ghost Towns, it was very difficult to realise
many of his projects. “I feared when the year began but I ended up realizing
90% of my ear marked projects. As I stand here, I am proud that my council does
not owe salaries to its workers. In the development of my municipality much has
been done. If you move round my municipality you will notice that there are no
plastic papers around. Last summer holidays I recruited 125 students who
brought 550 Kilograms of plastic paper bags. That’s what we are using now and
converting into bricks for building.”
He
further states that his plans for 2017 were covered and that together with his
councilors they had noted that the roads they started bulldozing in 2014 were
getting old. This is the reason why one of his aims in 2018 will be to put
these roads back in their original state.
The
ambitions of Mayor Tanjong Martin are further brought forth in the following
declarations. “In order to transform Tubah from a Sub Division to a modern city
like I promised to do, there are some things that must be done. When I took
over on the 29th of November 2013, before the 15th of
December I was already dis-enclaving. I had to open roads in the whole
municipality not only in Bambili. With the presence of the University, this was
needed to open up the area to facilitate movement in Bambili. This past year we
constructed classrooms and provided electricity to about a third of the
municipality. We did it in Kejomkeku, Kejomketungo, Bambili and Bambui though
that of Bambili is not entirely concluded. We keep on subsidizing water
organisations like that of Bambui and providing materials like pipes and other
accessories that help in the continuous provision of water. My main objective
for 2018 is that all roads will be back to normal.”
Mayor
Tanjong Martin also extended 2018 Special New Year wishes to the staff of the
Tubah Council, the administrators of Tuba, his own close collaborators, his Deputy
Mayors, municipal treasurer and his family which he said was always there to
support him in all his endeavors.
