Coast Region — CHAMA Cha Ukombozi wa Umma (CHAUMMA) Parliamentary Candidate for Kibaha Town Constituency in Coast Region, Ms Khadija Rungwe has pledged to prioritise quality medical services for residents if elected in the upcoming General Election this October.

Addressing a campaign rally at Misugusugu Ward, Ms Rungwe described herself as a strong and capable leader ready to implement her party's manifesto, which focuses on improving healthcare services.

"I am well aware of the challenges facing pregnant women in this area. I will ensure that all expectant mothers in this constituency have access to quality and affordable medical services, free of charge," she said.

On the education front, Ms Rungwe promised that CHAUMMA will introduce special strategies to ensure that all students in the area can complete their studies without obstacles.
