Receiving the award on behalf of his brother, Mr Francis Modey said that Hart is a kindhearted, skilled and courteous to both young and old.
“Chief Hart is a man driven by love, he identifies with the down trodden in the society, as he has faced similar challenges growing up. It grieves his heart seeing people suffer as a result of hardship, lack of jobs, hunger and social vices.

These form part of the motive for his demonstration of love for the society by way of training and engaging the youths and empowering the Elderly for self-reliance” he said.
