“I will not segregate people in all the development I am bringing to the people of Alebtong, irrespective of party or religion,"

The legislator also visited Abia Seed Secondary School, where she addressed young female footballers participating in an inter-school competition. Urging them to prioritize education.

To boost their morale, she donated two footballs and Shs 500,000 to support the tournament.
Acen’s message centered on unity, education, and self-reliance, urging the youth to take advantage of government programs and her personal initiatives aimed at uplifting Alebtong.
