In her words: ’’Hon. Ahmed Ahmed is youth-friendly. Our children always run to him and he listens carefully to them. I personally called him to notify him of our meetings but he couldnt pick, he send a message that he would call back. I was surpried when, after one hour he called me back and apologise for not taking my call. I was shocked and only imagined if others could be like him. All he has been doing in the area of youth empowerment made us decided to come together to speak one voice. He has done enough.’’
