The Member of Parliament for Gushegu, Alhassan Tampuli, has pledged to pay fees of all students in his constituency who are pursuing medicine, engineering and law.
Speaking at an event in the community, he said he has so far paid the fees of 45 students worth about ¢60,000, some in full, especially for law students.
Mr Tampuli considers this as his contribution to the development of the Gushegu Municipality.
The Gushegu MP said this when he donated a hearse to the people of Gushegu.

The hearse which serves the area currently is down forcing the people to carry the dead on a tricycle.

Mr Tampuli said he believes education is the right way to building a future for the area.
In the run-up to the election where he launched his manifesto, one key agenda was to develop the agricultural sector in the area which largely employs most of the people.
He noted at the presentation that they are working to support the people with agric mechanisation equipment, inputs, farm tools among others.

He added that the schools in the municipality do not measure up to the required standard and are inadequate for the growing population.
Thus, he and his team intend to renovate 50 schools in the constituency and also construct 20 new school blocks in 20 other communities, adding that two facilities in the Gushegu Senior High School have also been earmarked for renovations.

Mr Tampuli also noted that plans are far advance to link women groups in the area to micro finance schemes at low interest rates as a means to support their businesses.
He said with the government taking care of the fees of senior high school students, they anticipate a huge number for tertiary schools, therefore, he has set an education fund of which half of his salary will be put in to support students.

He added that by the next four years he envisages they would have connected 60 communities in the constituency to the national electricity grid.
He stated that although they have sunk 12 boreholes in the Gushegu township it seems not to have addressed the water problem in the area therefore they are considering other options to fine a solution to the water problem.
Mr Tampuli mentioned roads and a community centre as some of the works they intend to execute.
