Receiving the food items and cash on behalf of the Clans, the Superintendent of Grand Cape Mount County, Aaron B. Vincent lauded BMMC Management in fulfillment of the MOU, which he said has established a stronger relationship between the Citizens and the Management of BMMC, thereby putting smiles on the faces of the elders.

He also called on the citizens to see this gesture as goodwill for the upliftment of the elders and promised that the issue of violence will no longer exist under his administration but rather use the dialogue approach to resolve issues.

Speaking on behalf of the Chief, the Paramount Chief Mr. Momo Thomas assured the County Superintendent and the Management of BMMC, to do away with violence protests and always use constructive engagement to settle disputes.
