“This initiation symbolizes the commencement of much-anticipated relief for our community.”
“I stand here today to answer the people’s request, now translated into tangible reality. Commencing immediately, this 1-kilometer road is projected to be completed within 12 weeks, by the grace of God,” he affirmed.
