CCM candidate for Ukerewe Constituency, Mr Joseph Mkundi admitted that the anticipated ferry in Irugwa will be like a saviour to people of the area, whose children have never come across a car within the island.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Minister Majaliwa pledged to purchase a ferry for Gana islet residents, in Ilangala Ward of Ukerewe District if his party wins the forthcoming general election.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the residents during in campaign trail yesterday, the PM said the ferry will provide services between Kakuru and Gana Wards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore than 3,000 residents in this area need an enhanced ferry that will provide them with opportunities to engage in fishing and trade activities to earn a living.
