Local contractor Kaia Works Limited has delivered a comprehensive progress update to the Dei District Development Authority (DDA) and local media, confirming that 80% of the contracted road networks and bridges in the district are now complete.
Godfrey Umba, the owner and Managing Director of Kaia Works, personally led a project site tour for Dei DDA Chief Executive Officer Raphael Koldop and members of the DDA board, which included the three local-level government (LLG) presidents. Umba stated that the joint inspection allowed all stakeholders to witness the infrastructure progress firsthand.
Project Scope and Rapid Timeline
According to Patrick Namba, the Superintendent of Dei Projects and Senior Roads Engineer for the Department of Works and Highways, the overall infrastructure package is nearing its final stages.
The scope of works includes:
- Upgrading and sealing the Balg Kuk road, Ambra Muglamp road, and Mogla Kerakori road.
- Constructing the new Namaliu and Moga bridges.
Engineers on-site revealed that the final road sealing phase is on track to be fully completed within the next three weeks.
