HON ADOW'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND SUCCESS IS A TESTAMENT OF HOW LEADERS ARE SUPPOSED TO SERVE  Hon Mohammed Adow's accomplishments and success as the Wajir South MP has put to shame those who were salivating for the position.

From infrastructure to education to healthcare to empowerment. His leadership has been uplifting and his development projects life changing.  That's why his approval ratings among the great people of Wajir South has been exceptionally high. 2027 is a walkover for Adow. ATT is the real deal.
