The regional administration of Region Six has estimated that over $75 million is needed to finance the necessary repairs to the region’s dams that were either damaged or destroyed by recent devastating flooding, which is still ongoing in some parts of the country.
Regional Chairman David Armogan, who was speaking at the region’s statutory meeting last Thursday, said, “All agricultural dams are in very, very bad state and that is why persons are not going into the cultivation using the cultivation dams. They are using the water ways and boats to get to the back area.”
According to him, based on the regional administration’s estimate, over $75 million will be needed to repair the dams. “So we have to see government to get help and see where we can get that money….”
