He reassured citizens that measures have been put in place to safeguard lives and property, urging them to report suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.
Reflecting on the significance of the festive season, Kefas encouraged residents to embrace the lessons of sacrificial giving, compassion, and love.
“The world is going through a lot, and we all need to show each other compassion and love, even as God loves us.
