He used the occasion to appreciate God for giving him the opportunity to be their representative and emphasized that he was not doing it to earn any gratification from the beneficiaries.
“I considered it imperative to celebrate with this category of people in this yuletide season, I have a passion for them, besides giving food and beverages to the people who are hale and hearty, I chose to visit the hospital this time around unlike my usual way of celebrating Christmas”. Said the Lawmaker.
