Moving the motion on the floor of the house, the member representing Mata State constituency of Ushongo local government area, Hon. Simon Gabo, stated that since the assumption of office, Alia has embarked on policies and programs that have revived the already lost confidence of the people in governance in the state.
In a statement issued by the chief press secretary to Governor Alia, Mr Tersoo Kula, the lawmaker said within six months in office, Governor Alia has stabilised the payment of salaries to workers and pensions to retirees, total rehabilitation of the dilapidated old Assembly Complex and the completion of some road projects.
He said Alia did all these within a very short time without borrowing funds from anywhere which was a clear manifestation that he was using the state resources judiciously.
Seconding the motion, the House Chief Whip, Hon. Peter Ipusu, said the governor has also purchased quality vehicles for members of the House and placed their welfare at the front burner, stressing that the Speaker also earned a confidence vote due to the impactful manner he has led the House within six months.
