She however wants locals visiting the facility to observe all the health protocols in a bid to combat the spread of Covid 19.

At the same time, Anderson Kilonzo, a Likoni resident, called on the government to address the challenge of unemployment amongst the youths.

According to him, the only way to address the challenge of rampant employment is by creating a lot of job opportunities.

“We are jobless not because we are not willing to work. The problem is that there are no job opportunities,”
