Good afternoon , Kalikiliki!
I stand before you today not just as a candidate, but as someone who cares deeply about our community, our families, and our future. My name is Joseph Kumbukani Phiri , and I am humbled to seek your support as your next counselor.
Kalikiliki is more than just a ward; it is home. A place where dreams are nurtured, where children should feel safe to play, and where every family should have the opportunity to thrive. Yet, we know there are challenges we faceโchallenges that need solutions, not just promises.
If you give me the honor to serve you, I pledge to:
1: Listen to YOU: Your concerns will guide my actions. I will be your voice in the council, making sure every decision benefits our people.
2: Focus on Youth and Skills: Our young people are the future of Kalikiliki. I will work to create training opportunities, mentorship programs, and safe spaces for youth development.
3: Improve Infrastructure and Services: Roads, water, sanitation, and community spaces matter. Together, we can ensure Kalikiliki becomes a ward that thrives.
Kalikiliki deserves leadership that is approachable, honest, and committed. Leadership that works not for power, but for people. I am ready to be that leader. But I cannot do it aloneโI need your trust, your support, and your vote.
Let us stand together, as neighbors and as one community, to build a Kalikiliki we can all be proud of. A ward where opportunity is everywhere, and no one is left behind.
Thank you, Kalikiliki. Together, we can make the change we want to see.
