Benjamin Anhwere the District Chief Executive (DCE) for the area was also not spared the spleen of angry residents who set vehicles of both of them ablaze in protest of unfulfilled litany of promises made to them
The MP and the DCE had promised to hook some communities to the national grid but failed to do so after several years indicating that their inactions has affected businesses, education as well as health care delivery, thus making life unbearable for them.
“We have been living in darkness for the past years and these MPs always come to our town to campaign and promise us but they end up deceiving us and not fulfilling their promises”.
“We can longer wait and so we are not going to allow them to campaign in our various towns because as we are getting closer to elections, they will be coming in their numbers. In fact, we will burn their cars if they dare visit our town”.
“This light issue has affected us so much because our children can no longer learn at night, our businesses have collapsed” one resident said.
