I am David Bitrus Kasuwa. You call me Barji, a son of Pankshin, twenty years inside the National Assembly. Now I am bringing that experience home to Bokkos, Mangu, Pankshin, Kanke and Kanam.
Before I asked anything of Plateau Central, I came to the people. I sat in their compounds, walked their farms, and listened in their churches, mosques and market squares, then wrote down what I heard.
"I came to you before I asked anything of you."
For twenty years, I have worked within the National Assembly, learning how laws are made, how the national budget is written, and how government can be made to serve ordinary people. I did not gather that knowledge for myself. I gathered it for this moment: to bring it home.
Not a manifesto of slogans. It is a covenant, sealed before witnesses, that I ask to be measured by every year I hold in office.
A true accounting from security agencies, community based policing, and the rebuilding of homes for every displaced family.
A public accounting of funds already spent, and a fight for the road to finally be built end to end.
Finishing the reticulation that carries water from the Gindiri dam into the homes of Pankshin, Kanke and Kanam.
From the market squares of Bokkos to the pulpits of Pankshin: moments from the campaign, moving with the people.
