Mzalendo Vox Pop: Cheruto from Aldai

We are launching a new feature on the Mzalendo blog, something we are calling Mzalendo Vox Pop where we invite Mzalendo users / constituents discuss issues affecting their constituency in more detail.

Our first featured constituent is Cheruto from Aldai Constituency. Her MP is Dr. Sally Kosgei.

Name: Cheruto

Current Problems/Challenges in Aldai: Aldal constituency has a large number of youths and most of them are idle and have resolved to alcoholism...Jua Kali sheds has never been brought up in the place,now what about the fish ponds there is no such initiative in the constituency. Kazi kwa vijana initiative... the youth does not know even what its all about. Why can't some of the CDF funds be allocated to sponsors sports for the youth? Another problem is access to bursary funds. The disadvantaged students have been subjected to hard times in getting them as you are given in accordance to who you are. Thanks to a newly appointed female chief, at least there is a slight change.

How effective is your MP? On rare occasions does our MP visit the constituency to address the wananchi...unlike the former MP.

If you could meet your MP what would you tell her: Madam, your people need to see and hear from you. We need more institutes, polytechnics, colleges and moreso a university for that matter. It is great Madam that you have boosted the state of women groups in the constituency but what about us the youth? We are the future but where are our priorities,where have you placed us ???????? Sorry to say so but former MP could hear the youth for instance at the press of the button of your mobile phone he could assist you. Madam why cant you get us a contact number for the constituents so that we could be able to share with you the issues affecting you constituency and also the progress?
