Responding to the gesture, one of the beneficiaries, Mrs Kati Omo-ohwo, who got a sewing machine, expressed gratitude to their representative, noting that the package will transform their life for the better.
In the same vein, a leader of the party in the council, Chief C. Omo-nemu, commended the councillor for the gesture.
