The Jukumu Langu project book , is good in educating the citizens especially the youths on how resources are being shared in our county levels.
I would like to applaud this as a way of bringing civic education to the ground levels, one needs not to travel distance places to acquire the information in the book, and as we all know information is power, then the Jukumu Langu book is the power.
Thank you and may God blesse.
