I will serve all the people
of Kisumu East as their next MP, Says aspirant
An aspiring Member of Parliament in Kisumu East constituency
on Orange Democratic Movement Party ticket has promised to serve all the
residents of the constituency if he will be elected as the next MP for the area
in the forthcoming general elections in August this year.
James Aggrey Mwamu, the former President of the East African
Law Society says he is ready to battle the ODM party’s nomination process with
those who are also seeking its ticket to vie for the seat.
The political parties’ nomination process will be carried
across the country for those seeking to vie as Members of Parliament in April
this year.
Addressing the residents of Rae-Kanyaika area in Kolwa
Central ward within the constituency when he met them after visiting
Rae-Kanyaika Secondary school, Mwamu said his desire is to fully serve the
residents of the entire five wards of the constituency.
Mwamu says his major focus will be in the improvement of
lives of the residents by empowering them economically, improvement of educational
standards by ensuring that proper infrastructure are in places within public
schools.
“Our constituency has been lagging behind in terms of
development in many areas hence the need to build public hospitals, having
access roads, security and improving educational standards and may aim is to
turn around this constituency to be a modern constituency,” he says.
Mwamu says he will campaign within his vision for the new
Kisumu East on an eleven-point agenda that include Proper utilization of the Constituency
Development funds, People’s Driven Constituency Strategic Plan, Improvement of
Educational standards as well as improvement of health facilities.
Others include recognition of Community Health Volunteers,
Creation of women Village Savings and Credit Cooperatives Societies to empower
women, investment in agriculture and food security as well as having a standing
committee responsible for the youth, sports, culture and persons with
disabilities.
He says if elected as the next Member of Parliament for the
area, he will fully represent the residents in Parliament, do an oversight role
and legislate on their behalf, adding that currently the area lack
representation in Parliament.
He urges all the residents to have their Identity cards and
the voters’ card in readiness for the August polls, adding that those who are
not yet registered as voters should register within the IEBC constituency office
at Mamboleo area.
He says his full
support is for the Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga who is vying for the
Presidency, adding that Odinga will emerge victorious in round one of the
polls.
Judith Oturi who also hails from Manyatta B ward within the
constituency says Mwamu has very clear policies to develop the constituency
when he takes over as the next MP after the August polls.
Oturi says Mwamu’s strategic plan that tackles on roads,
Education, Security, Women and Youth Empowerment is one of its kind and if
fully implemented within the constituency will greatly help to bring
development within the said constituency.
Ben Abok from Kolwa Central ward says Lawyer Mwamu has what
it takes to be the next Member of Parliament for the area.
“I want to plead with fellow residents of Kisumu East
constituency to consider voting for Lawyer James Aggrey Mwamu as our next
Member of Parliament because it has what it takes to be our MP. We have seen
him doing some development in schools where he has contributed a lot in terms
of development,” Abok says.
