She therefore hailed the organisation for responding to the request for a wheelchair for Fatima who is standard five learner
The parliamentarian asked youth clubs in the area to interact with Fatima and ensure that she comes to participate in various interactive activities at the youth clubs.
“I would want to see youth clubs coming to interact with Fatima so that she should not feel lonely and rejected,” Kwelepeta added.
