Uncle Sally as the MP is affectionately called by his constituents, tasked the various group leaders to as a matter of urgency form sub groups to enable him assist them with a startup capital so they can immediately start making gains from the skill they have acquired.
“I have always maintained that my purpose in politics is to make life much better for all, and since development is a process I want to assure you all that I will do everything humanly possible to address all our developmental needs”; the MP added.
