Kohima, March 4 (MExN): Participating in the discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the Governor’s Address during the sixth session of the 14th Assembly at the NLA Hall, Kohima on March 4, MLA Jwenga Seb emphasised the importance of a peaceful resolution to the ongoing political issue and underscored the need for every citizen’s voice to be heard in the process.
Jwenga also proposed measures to enhance livestock productivity under the Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Services (AH&VS) department, stated a DIPR report. He pointed out that while Artificial Insemination (AI) has benefited 4,590 farmers, the number remains insufficient. To address this, he suggested increasing the number of AI technicians to expand the program’s reach and support more farmers.
Addressing concerns on public service recruitment, Jwenga expressed that the current system may be contributing to social disparity. He proposed implementing reservations at the academic level rather than in job recruitment. Also, he called for a review of the existing reservation policy, suggesting that benefits should be based strictly on household economic conditions rather than community or tribe. He argued that the current framework favours the “creamy layer” rather than reaching the most deserving individuals.
