“In my constituency, the aged,
widows and widowers and orphans are being left out.
“Also, people that are challenged are also not benefitting from governance. There should be social and economic protection for all. It is not a crime to grow old.
“I promise to accord these sets of respected senior citizens their
rights during my tenure.
“The constituency deserves a high level of unity and concern where no one or group of people should be left out,” she said.
