As a former civil servant and a private sector employee in Gelephu, I have gained tremendous work experience and understanding of the country’s overall development process.
In addition, being based in Sarpang has made me understand the pressing needs of the general public.
At a national level, I shall endeavour to address macro socio-economic issues such as youth unemployment, rural-urban migration and rising national debt.
I will closely work with national assembly members in resolving these challenges.
Capitalizing on Sarpang’s strength will be the top-most goal at Constitutional front. Given Sarpang’s proximity both internally and externally, agricultural potential and the landscape which best suits infrastructural development, I shall strive harder to ensure continued inclusive growth in Sarpang so that the spiral benefits are felt and shared by the state and other neighbouring dzongkhags.
