She expressed her hope that the equipment will support the efforts of the electoral areas in ameliorating the effects of the rains on residents.

Speaking to the media, Dr. Rawlings added that as an ex officio member of the Assembly, the concerns of the Assembly are her concerns as well, and it has to do with the constituents too.
