He praised the good work done by the two area chiefs Charles Orenge and David Mageto for controlling the use of illicit beer, chang’aa and other drugs among teenagers by encouraging them to continue with their secondary education and joining Vocational Training Institutes.
Former Boochi Borabu Ward MCA Samuel Onuko asked the residents to evaluate leaders by their development projects on the ground and support them for reelection instead of depending on handouts from them.

The residents took a swipe at the area MCA Nicodemus Omwamba whom they alleged has never supported the construction of even a single ECDE classroom since he was elected in the ward.
They asked the MCA who was conspicuously absent in the meeting, to join hands with other leaders in the region for the quick development of Boochi Borabu Ward.
They asked him to bench mark with his counterpart from Bombaba Borabu Ward MCA Beatrice Makwae, whom they said has made good strides in the development of ECDE sector in her ward.
