Constituency Tour

CDO Constituency tour
In May the Office did a two weeks visit of the constituency. Accompanied by the YVS Coordinator, the CDO conducted awareness on the SMC development programs and activities communities in Asimeuri and Asimae, including the Highlands. They explained procedures for project applications and the SMC budget. The team also handed out leaflets on these activities. Many questions were raised but on the whole the people were grateful for the clarifications on many issues. They noted no such visit been made by former MPs. Budget allowing, follow up on projects will be done before the year-end: to assess implementation of all
projects delivered during the year.

Hon Rick Hou visited the Constituency in early June, where he spoke at three centres in Ward 23: Liwe, Rokera PSS and Riverside. This was used as an opportunity to meet community leaders and the people to discuss issues and matters of concern to them. He also took the opportunity to talk about the SMC development program and government policies. Many people attended the meetings. In early June, Hon R N Hou also attended the Southern Regional Youth Conventions which was held at Riverside. He was resource person at one of the sessions and took part in other meetings. This gathering which went for a week brought young people as far as East and West Kwaio. It was quite conspicuous that the meeting was not attended by any of the Church leaders in the region.  Hon R N Hou plans to visit Wards 21 & 22 before the end of the year
