Presenting the items on behalf of Danfa William Kabia currently based in the United States, coordinator Abdul Osaio Kamara said "the young man has deep interest in improving the health status of his people, hence his focus on cleaning the environment".
According to him, malaria and typhoid cases were very much common in the area due to poor sanitation. He said youths in the constituency were finding it difficult to undertake such an exercise as result of many challenges including lack of tools and finance.
Kamara noted that the gesture was geared towards complementing the President's agenda for change and one that would benefit the society as a whole. He described Kabia as "a development-oriented young man with the zest to maximize the status of his people".
The items donated included shovels, rakes, wheelbarrows and aprons. They were received on behalf of the constituency by a youth group known as 'Real Friends', which is undertaking the cleaning exercise in the community.
President of the group, Lahai B. Swarray, expressed his total appreciation for the gesture, saying, "We were faced with lots of challenges to go about cleaning the community but we are happy that the young man has come to our aid and this will take us a long way in actualizing our dream."
Swarray encouraged the All People's Congress to award the party symbol to Kabia to enable him contest the 2012 parliamentary election. He pledged his group's total support for the proposed candidate when the time of voting comes.
"These are the type of leaders we are yearning for. We have been deceived by other politicians but the young man has proved beyond all reasonable doubt that he is ready to champion the cause of his people," he said.
