I thank the Almighty God for the privilege of leadership and service to the country at large.” Bahati acclaimed.

Over the years, electricity has been extended to all sub-counties and in some cases to parishes. There is no sub-county without electricity. In areas which could receive telephones signals and was not uncommon for people to climb hills to find a signal, we have worked with telecom companies to erect masts and can now receive signals and we are working in areas that still need them.
“Regarding safe and clean water, we have since extended piped water from Lake Bunyonyi, Mwendo parish to Kitooma in Rubaya sub-county. This project was worth billions of shillings. We shall ensure that each and every village in the constituency has easy access to safe and clean water. Water is life,” he remarked.

From this joyful day of swearing-in, we hear the same call we heard in 2006, a call to service. And now, each in our way, and with God’s help, we must answer that call. And today I say once again,” he concluded.
