He words: “I represent my people at the National Assembly. They will decide what they want and I will go to the Assembly to make a case for them.

“Every Community has different needs. Some may be suffering from polluted water while some may not have water at all. So there are peculiar problems associated with the communities.

“To solve these problems, I had to engage stakeholders in each Community to be part of what we are doing.
