Allan Owira, the LC3 Councillor of Tekulu Parish and a Christian of St. Mary’s Catholic Chapel, commended MP Peter Okot for his consistent contributions to the chapel’s construction since 2016.

He further pledged to engage with other leaders and lobby for their support to help complete the project.

“I pledge to reach out to other leaders and lobby for their support to see this project completed,”Owira noted.

On his part, Santo Okello, the chairperson of the church’s construction committee said Christians should elect leaders who prioritize the needs of voters, citing MP Peter Okot as an example.

Together, we can achieve unity and work toward a brighter future for our community,” he emphasized.
