The Temotu Government in Unity for Reform and Advancement (TGURA), led by Premier Stanley Tehiahua, has prioritized SBD $3 million for the redevelopment of the Temotu Commercial Building in Lata, Temotu Province.
The funding comes from the Provincial Capacity Development Fund (PCDF), provided to the Temotu Provincial Government through the Ministry of Provincial Government Institutional Strengthening (MPGIS).
Speaking at the provincial full assembly meeting last week, Premier Tehiahua described the redevelopment as a key component of the government’s focus on the productive sector.
“The development of productive sectors remains central to the policy direction of the TGURA government.
“In this regard, the Temotu Provincial Government has allocated SBD $3 million from the 2022–2023 PCDF for the redevelopment of the Temotu Commercial Building in Lata, which is currently in a deteriorating condition.
“This project aims to revitalize commercial activities in Lata Township and create new economic opportunities for local businesses,” he said.
Premier Tehiahua also noted that the redevelopment will strengthen the provincial internal revenue, an area where the government continues to face challenges despite efforts to improve its revenue systems.
He reaffirmed his government’s commitment to enhancing governance, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and efficiency in public administration.
“We recognize the important oversight role played by the assembly and its committees, whose work contributes significantly to responsible governance in the province.
“Our government remains committed to ensuring that the provincial administration serves the people of Temotu Province with professionalism and integrity,” Premier Tehiahua said.
