In addition, Minister Gore further presented another cheque worth K250, 000. 00 to Anglican Church runned health services from the National Government through the National Gaming Control Board.
Minister Gore had prepared her
own celebration plans at her electorate (Sasembata village–Higaturu LLG) but the mood and atmosphere of the whole celebration prompted her to team up with David Arore to show the people of Popondetta that Sohe and
Ijivitari (the only two districts in Popondeta) are together on this special occasion.
The Sohe entertainment crew include, Taita -Maraga, B-Rad Productions, Baine (Twin Tribes) and local supporting bands like Daugos and TT- Rockz.
