Kewanu delivers excavator for Upper Mendi roads

JOB satisfaction for a Member of Parliament is to deliver the services in areas that need it most.
“When you put a smile on the faces of the people in the rural areas or when mothers and children have tears of joy in their eyes in appreciation for what you deliver, that is what I call job satisfaction.”
This is according to Mendi-Muniuh MP, De Kewanu, who was satisfied when delivering basic services to the people in the area who acknowledge and appreciated them with tears in their eyes and smiles on their faces.
“My election motto as appeared on my election posters was the only words “For Real Change”, and was no election “gimmick”. I stand for what I believe in and what I can deliver, starting with the basics.”
He said a school teacher who walks for kilometers and villagers who cannot get produce to the markets watched in disbelief and literally with tears streaming down their faces in Upper Mendi when the district’s new PC200 Excavator drove onto their feeder road.
Mr Kewanu said it was something they have never experienced or seen in the last 30 years.
“A medical officer became emotional when accepting one of the three generator sets delivered to Munhiu Health Centre last month.
She was emotional because she will no longer use kerosene Lanterns as light to treat the sick in the night and will now be able to refrigerate most needed medical drugs. Now they are using a generator to light up the health center.
“This, for me as a leader and servant of the people, is what I call “Real Change”... and is the “real job satisfaction I get.”
District Administrator, James Embeap added: “The over 30,000 population will be direct beneficiaries of this machine that will open up roads built in colonial times by hand.
“The paramount priority for the MP and his Administration in the District are Roads, Bridges and Electricity.
Kewanu believes that better road accessibility will pave way for other developments and services to fall-in place.
This is where he has been putting his priority over the last four months when he obtained the financial powers. “We are committed in delivering much needed services in order of priority, so road rehabilitation is what you people get first,” he said.
