KUCHING, Oct 14: Murum assemblyman Kennedy Chukpai Ugon has urged the Sarawak government to prioritise the development of a 167-kilometre agricultural road network in Sungai Asap, stressing that fertile farmland cannot be fully utilised without proper road access.
He said the project would provide access to 1,969 agricultural lots, enabling farmers to transport equipment, cultivate their land more efficiently and bring their produce to market.
“I hope the implementation of Phase One would proceed more smoothly, while Phase Two should also be given priority,” he said while debating the Sarawak Budget 2027 at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUNS) sitting today.
He expressed appreciation for Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg’s attention and commitment in helping to find solutions to challenges affecting the project’s implementation.
