to share and that gave the people hope to vote for you. Some of you have
invested in the people, hope of development and that made them elected you to
be their leaders.

Because of this, you
need to learn more and cooperate with other stakeholders and heads of
departments within the District so that you can learn from them,” he said.

“Know how to
speak to the elderly in order not to abuse your office else after serving your
term, the thumb will speak against you.
