KOTA KINABALU: Sepanggar member of parliament Datuk Jumat Idris has assured the people of Inanam that the government would continue to bring about development projects even though the area is now under the opposition.
He gave the assurance during the recent launching of healthy lifestyle campaign and roadshow at Kampung Keliangau, Menggatal, which was jointly organised by the Village Security and Development Committee (JKKK), Kemas and Menggatal Health Centre Advisory Panel.

Jumat said the government would continue with its programmes to bring about development to the constituency, particularly in upgrading the existing roads and the construction of rural and village roads.
Inanam constituency would not be left behind in terms of development even though the area is now under the opposition, he assured.
During the event, Jumat also approved the upgrading and extension of Kampung Keliangau community hall which would be implemented next year.
