I was informed by the caller to tune into the radio and listen to the good news�. �I was filled with extreme joy because I never expected this. All my colleagues can testify that because I am a new MP, I had all my concentration on doing my parliamentary works. I never expected to be called to work directly for the president through a ministry. I couldn�t sleep and as at 2 a.m, my eyes were still not shut. I was filled with joy�, she revealed.
