She indicated that her constituents are very dear to her heart and that she will do everything within her position to provide their basic necessities.

She disclosed there used to be frequent outbreak of cholera in the area but her outfit intervened and excavated garbages in the area which has brought the situation under control.

“A lot has been done under my watch. The priority thing I have done in health is getting rid of filth to evict cholera apart from the mobile clinic. I excavated garbages and the outcome has been positive,” she said.
