President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) presidential flag bearer, has hailed the gains of peace in Karamoja, calling it the foundation for the region’s development.
Speaking to thousands of supporters during a campaign rally today at Jubilee 2000 Secondary School in Karenga District, President Museveni reflected on the challenges, achievements and future plans for the area.
Peace, the President emphasized, has been the cornerstone of progress in Karamoja.
President Museveni further outlined ongoing infrastructure projects, highlighting road improvements as a key priority.
Despite development, President Museveni reminded residents that personal wealth must be actively pursued.
He urged locals to use government programs such as Entandikwa, NAADS, OWC, Emyooga, and the Parish Development Model (PDM) to lift themselves out of poverty.
The Karamoja region of north eastern Uganda is one of the most marginalized parts of the country. For decades, it has suffered from high levels of conflict and insecurity, alongside low levels of development. Pastoralism is a way of life and cattle-raiding is a common practice in the region.
