Furthermore, agriculture has benefited, as every member of the National Assembly, including senators, received fertilizers last year, which were distributed to rural farmers across all constituencies.
“In health, the government is undertaking significant initiatives that have promoted the use of locally made goods. In commerce, many investors are coming to the country. When you consider all these developments, we must appreciate him. Progress takes time, and we are gradually achieving our goals.

“When it comes to agriculture, we have tractors and essential inputs available. In commerce, there are many ongoing initiatives. In the industry sector, improvements are evident, with efforts to empower youths and women to establish their businesses.
