Madam minister, as I put this into writing, I feel disturbed, as the situation I am in, has made me curse myself a thousand times for having been born and brought up in this filthy surrounding.
I cannot blame my parents in any way what so ever, for that is what they could afford. But I blame the government, especially this ministry,they started rationing water, where I live, our taps ran dry a year ago, people are dying as a result of cholera, typhoid outbreaks yet the government has decided to give a deaf ear to our pleas.
It hurts to see innocent children dying as a result of dirt they consume on a daily basis, yet the government is not keen on taking any action. Countless number of lives have been lost in slums and we are yet to lose more if drastic measures will not be put in place on time.
We are tired of empty promises this ministry keep on telling us that soon our taps will have running water or is it a vision 2030 plan?
It is a high time the government came in to issue a lasting solution to this problem.
Madam minister, when should we expect a response to this issue from your ministry?

I care, U care and the community cares.. The government seems so busy and not really bothered.. We need to ask ourselves, what can we can do to salvage the situation? We need to rise above our challenges, no matter how gigantic they may look. Good blog!
