The male councilor representing Workers in the district, who is at the same time the secretary for social services Hon Dicky Alema appreciated the opportunity offered by Enabel organization to construct a Theater at Maracha health centre IV because the entire district of Maracha doesn't have a hospital, apart from St Joseph Hospital Ovujo which is a catholic owned hospital.


He appealed to the contractor to consider the issue of local content by employing some of the residents as local labourers and also buy tested local materials like Sands, Stones and Bricks from within the district so that the locals will also benefit directly from the project.

To avoid shoddy works and other technicalities arising after completion of a construction, the consultant of the project, Mr Musana Daniel, who is also the architect and contract manager for Enabel organization tasked the contractor to have sands, concrete blocks and aggregates tested in lab and approved before they are supplied to the site for the construction.

Maracha district LC V Chairperson Hon Stephen Obitre applauded the consultant and contractor together with other technical officials of Enabel organization  for enlightening them about the background of the project and he urged them to remain committed to their words and promises because whenever launching of projects are done like this, the best technical officers are brought to speak but when things get messed up, such officers disappear completely.
