Editor,
Mwananchi Newspaper,

Dear editor,
WATER PROBLEM AT BUSEGWE VILLAGE.
I would like to take this opportunity to appreciate the good work your Newspaper has been doing in keeping the public informed and educated on different socio-political and economic matters.
Although I am a regular reader of Mwananchi newspaper, it is my first time to appear in this column to express my deep concerns on the problem of water in our village Busegwe. Busegwe village is located just a few kilometres from Lake Victoria south of Musoma municipal. Nevertheless, since independence the problem of water has never been solved.
In my opinion, if really the leaders were serious enough about the welfare of their citizens, there is no way they would fail to supply piped water to the village which is located just few kilometres from the largest lake in Africa.
I would like to advice our MP his excellence hon. N.E. Mkono to stand up for this and see to it that water is supplied to our Village or else we are not going to re-elect him in the forth coming general election.
Yours faithfully,
Jamila Michael
A peasant
