“I am alone as a Councillor, but there are those who are helping me to be able to mobilize more materials and funds for my community. I really thank my WDC and the alkalo and it is always appreciated,” he said.
The Ward Councillor assured his people that before the expiration of his term in office, he will make sure that whatever the people of his ward are crying for is achieved. He thanked Ebou Mala’s Children Charitable Foundation for the donations and assured them that the items will be put in to good use.

He also expressed the view and hope the donated items received by the Community will be put into good use.
Bah reiterated that the pandemic has hit every part of the country, adding that EMCCF and National Police Aid Charity have worked very hard to make sure they support students when they resume school.
The representative of the alkalo called for peace, unity and togetherness, adding that if the people are united they will always win in any situation they see themselves.
