A member of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Natural Resources, Mike Venaani, is of the opinion that much still needs to be done to develop Gam settlement and its surrounding areas.

Venaani remarked on this after a visit to the area.

Venaani acknowledged the government's efforts in developing Gam but said the provision of potable water and human-wildlife conflict remain daily challenges.

He wants parliamentarians to intensively discuss the development of places like Gam and others around the country, which he said lag behind in terms of development.
