Quality and affordable education
“Since the creation of the county, residents and nationals had suffered lack of improved education thereby, pushing school children to go to nearby counties for better education, something I think, should be brought under control,” he said.
He further noted that, recently the youth are focusing and blasting national leaders for not creating jobs for them, stressing that nothing comes on silver platter instead; young people should work hard with dream of where they want to be in the next five years then blaming leaders for short-live opportunities.
According to him, young people shouldn’t demand things they did not work for, stressing that many of the influential persons and leaders struggled to be where they are and it did not come as the result of quick- fix project.
Meanwhile, Koffa donated US $2,000 to the students’ government for their computer laboratory project undertaken by the council. The computer laboratory is expected to provide access to internet for over 3,000 students.
