Give a short history of the leader | Previously, political leaders or government officials, did not want to be involved in KCs initiatives because they were indistinguishable from opponents. Despite the perceptions towards the KC members, still theystrive to share their identity and culture with leaders across the ward, and finally captured their attention hence joined them to pursue the desired outcomes together. |
