“I’ve grown up seeing my people in my constituency look like orphans on the national cake level, Bungokho central has always been let down because we are always sending people who don’t understand the real needs, we voters want.

Most of them think of us when it is time for elections and that’s when they bring for us “lukumi lukumi” asking for a vote”- Said Hellen Neboshi.

She further noted that Bungokho needs to make a change and have young blood with new ideas and connections.

“We the youths are aware of the problems in our communities, I am not here to promise heaven on earth but at least I can do much better than those men who have been sleeping in parliament”- Neboshi Hellen.

According to her, she claims most of the MPs who have represented Bungokho, enrich themselves than doing service delivery to the voters.
