She said, the people of Bale have always craved for a health facility so they should ensure that they make good use of the facility.
She appealed to the people of Bale to help maintain the facility for the benefit of future generations.
She said the Assembly is committed to ensuring that development gets to the grassroot level hence there is the need for the people to help the Assembly by protecting and preserving the facility especially looking at the investments that have gone into it.
Hon. Veronica called on residents of Bale to patronage the services of the Community based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound.
she therefore pleaded with the people of Bale to continue supporting the NPP government to develop the Bole district.
Mr. Nuurideen Yakubu, who represented the Bole District Health Director thanked the Assembly for completing the project and implored the community members to help in maintaining the facility to meet its desired results.
