Quotes

• I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone for constantly keeping me in your prayers. Honorable Songa, I want to tell you that when the issue regarding the commission was being discussed on the radio, some people exaggerated the situation. You know how it goes—when something happens to you, those who don't like you often make it worse. The news was all over the radio, claiming that Esther would be removed. But I want to make it clear that when your people send you off with blessings, nothing can harm you. I am especially grateful to you, MP Songa, because when the list came out to remove commissioners from parliament, you refused to sign it, standing by your sister. Thank you for your unwavering support.
