Communities in Ward 20 of Leron Wantaoat LLG in Markham District were praised for showing how public funds can be used effectively to deliver important services.

Parliament Clerk Kala Aufa who was present at the opening of two teachers' houses and one double classroom at Nariawang Primary School on Friday 26th July 2026,praised the locals for putting their public allocated funds into very good use by investing in their children's education.

Mr. Aufa said the achievement showed what communities could deliver when they take ownership of development.

He said many communities across the country continued to seek more funding, but Nariawang had shown that proper management of available resources could bring real change.

Mr. Aufa praised the community for transparency, honesty, and accountability in using the funds, stating that the project was an example other communities could follow.

The funding was provided through the Markham District Development Authority under the leadership of Markham MP and Deputy Speaker Hon. Koni Iguan.

Hon. Iguan thanked the Nariawang community for responsibly managing the funds: "If every community throughout Markham was honest and transparent like what you have demonstrated, by now we should have more and better accessible services right at our people's doorsteps,” he said.

He encouraged communities across the district to work together and ensure development funds were used for their intended purposes.

The delegation also witnessed the groundbreaking ceremony for a two-man aid post, which will improve access to healthcare services, the construction of the facilities will commence next month.

Mr. Aufa said the Nariawang example showed that development was not only about the amount of funding available, but how communities managed their resources.

The new school facilities and upcoming health facility marks an important milestone for the community.
