The Region 10 Regional Democratic Council (RDC) held its latest statutory meeting, focusing on key issues including health and infrastructure within the region.
The ongoing fight against dengue was a priority topic, with Regional Health Officer Dr. Gregory Harris reporting a significant reduction in cases.
The first phase of dengue prevention measures has been effective, with the region recording only two cases.
A second phase of the campaign is expected to begin this weekend to continue combating the spread of the virus.
Infrastructure challenges were also highlighted, particularly the delay in completing the Bamia Primary School project.
Despite receiving three deadline extensions, the project remains incomplete and is not expected to meet the current September deadline.
In the education sector, the reintroduction of music in schools was a prominent discussion point.
Additionally, the council is considering hiring a crop assistant officer to manage school farms during vacation periods, ensuring that agricultural activities continue even when schools are not in session.
This issue will be discussed further in upcoming RDC education committee meetings.
