One of Mashonaland Central Senators, Senator James Makamba, has built a senatorial office in Mount Darwin where people can bring queries and complaints.
It serves as a communication platform between the electorate and their representatives. In the past, voters found it challenging to reach their representatives, often resorting to approaching them at public events or visiting their homes.
However, the newly constructed office is set to transform the way voters and their representatives interact.
During the official opening of the Mandave House, Senate President Mabel Chinomona lauded the construction of the office, adding that it exemplifies leadership that unites people.
She commended Sen Makamba for prioritising the needs of the people and stressed the importance of elected representatives staying connected to their constituents.
“You selected a leader who values people and puts them first. Some elected representatives forget the electorate and what was done here is very important,” she said.
Cde Chinomona donated two sewing machines for a women’s garment-making business.
Sen Makamba said he was committed to serving people in his constituency with dedication and integrity.
“As your Senator, I am here to listen, to understand and act on behalf of this community. My vision is to work tirelessly to address the challenges we face and seize opportunities for growth and development,” he said.
“Together we will focus on improving the quality of life, better access to health care, advancing education opportunities, infrastructure development and enhancing food security.”
He pledged to work closely with the four National Assembly representatives in Mt Darwin District adding that his dream for a modern Mt Darwin was underpinned by President Mnangagwa’s philosophy of leaving no one and no place behind.
The district came up with a Mandave Constituency Development committee, whose motto is: “Strength in unity, empowering our community for development.”
Its role is to identify areas that need to be developed.
Mt Darwin South Member of Parliament Cde Kudakwashe Mupamhanga expressed gratitude for the office, which he said provides a conducive environment for meetings.
Cde Elizabeth Shongedza said the office had made life easy for people in the district who wish to engage their representatives.
Chief Kandeya said the office provides an opportunity for chiefs to meet the Senator and discuss challenges and economic development issues in a comfortable environment.
