TAMBUNAN: Deputy Chief Minister-cum-Rural Development Minister Datuk Joseph Pairin Kitingan said the Government spent RM783,140 to implement various development projects in Kirokot, here, between 2005 and 2006.

He said it is the Government's aspiration to see that every village in the state enjoys the benefits of development.

However, he said the Government would not have been able to resolve the rakyat problems in general.

"The allocation of project is based on priority and that other problems would be addressed in phases," he said at the Unity-cum-Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration at Kirokot on Thursday.

On other developments, he said the open house concept would forge stronger bond including unity among the people irrespective of religious beliefs.

Later he announced allocation to construct six Bailey bridges, two at Kampung Libang Laut worth RM14,250, two at Kampung Rumuyuh Geras worth RM20,000 and two at Kampung Kumawanan worth RM20,000.

He also presented six mock keys for Hardcore Poor Home (PRT) to Saineh Aranting, Teresa Edal, Liah Undahal, Waini @Aisah Kinsui, Tiah Justin and Hellen Kangui.
