BY  OUR OMORO REPORTER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catherin Lamwaka who will be the Omoro  district NRM woman MP flag bearer has thanked her voters for the big turn up and overwhelming support they gave her in the hotly contested NRM primaries .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lamwaka was one of the few NRM incumbents that registered landslides in the polls which were marred by violence , intimidation\u00a0 and alteration of results. Several incumbents were floored too for being insensitive to the voters needs an aspirations . But Lamwaka and the people of Omoro it was all joy and celebrations as the woman legislators received well over 100,000 votes .\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThe people of Omoro have spoken and in their message\u00a0 they have spoken very loudly and clearly about what democracy means,\u201d the MP stated\u00a0 adding that she took pride in dedicating the\u00a0 landslide victory to her supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c I don\u2019t take for granted the commitment and zeal the different groups were able to put in for us as to reap this great  success in the just concluded primaries .Gratitude to the youth and women  who offered their full support  from the onset of the election process,\u201d a jovial Lamwaka said in a message to her supporters urging them to come together and be ready for the 2021 general elections .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Lamwaka beat her rivals hands down<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several voters in Omoro have told this publication that unlike in other parts of the country where there were many absentee legislators , Lamwaka has not abandoned her people in Omoro . \u201c She is been there for us throughout her five year term. The district has benefited a lot from her leadership and lobbying in government especially for the benefit of the youth. Women and elderly ,\u201d a youthful voter noted .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others said that Lamwaka was a people\u2019s person who was not aloof and arrogant like other MPs who carried themselves like small gods . \u201c She is a down to earth woman and the support she has received shows that the people appreciate her . MPs should never forget that they are elected by the people.  Legislators should always serve the people\u2019s interests and be visible in the constituencies ,\u201d another voter said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others said Lamwaka had delivered on many of her promises and believe she has what it takes to transform Omoro into a very vibrant district .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
