Emurua Dikirr Member of Parliament-elect David Keter, popularly known as 'Dollarline', stated that among his top priorities once he assumes office is to build roads.
Speaking on Friday, May 15, Keter noted that he had 'inherited' a poor road network and promised to resolve the matter.
He made the promise when members of the press questioned him about his plan for the people of Emurua Dikirr.
"To be very sincere, Emurua Dikirr, as you have seen, because I know you have moved around the constituency, I have inherited a very poor road network, which is a very big challenge," Keter stated.
The MP-elect added that he would also work on improving the lives of his constituents, the majority of whom live below the poverty line.

"The poverty level in Emurua Dikirr is very high. I have a very big challenge in trying to improve the lives of youth and women in Emurua Dikirr,' he added.
Keter revealed his plan to bring the people of his constituency together and vowed to work for all, including those who did not vote for him.
He claimed that the locals had been divided along political lines since 2013, and said that he was confident that he would bring them together.
