“I hope the President would make his appointment soon, as the caretakers DCEs are not prepared to do anything because they do not know their faith, because their own colleagues who they do not expect to contest them are now contesting them”.

He further noted that, as a first time MP, he does not have a Common Fund and does not know when it would come. “When you go to DCEs, they say they cannot do anything, they are caretakers. The Assembly does not exist”, he said.
