The National Resistance Movement (NRM) secretariat leaders have asked the people of Lango to support the ruling party in the next elections to enable the government to complete the ongoing projects.
The team led by the NRM Electoral Commission Chairman, Dr. Tanga Odoi made a plea yesterday in Dokolo district as they traversed the subregion assessing the implementation of government programs like the success of the Fisheries Protection Unit(FPU), the Parish Development Model, Emyooga, road construction among others.
Dr. Tanga who was impressed by the steady progress so far said works shall go on uninterrupted in the next five year if the current government is given a new mandate.
“Government has started many new projects in this area and I can assure you much more will be done if President Museveni is voted again,” Tanga said.
On the confrontation between the army and fishermen on Lake Kyoga, Dr Tanga urged the two sides to cooperate and together provide a lasting solution to the illegal fishing practices.
“We all agree that fishing should be regulated because substandard nets and gears deplete the lake,” Tanga told the locals.
Hon. Emmanuel Dombo, the NRM director for Communication commended the population for boldly speaking about the many achievements and the existing challenges hindering success in other areas.
“The population is happy, and we are happy too with the reports. We shall return here with the technical people to explain the progress of the government projects,” Mr Dombo said.
He also noted that as leaders, they always seek for the opinions of the population before fronting any project for implementation.
The Dokolo Resident district Commissioner Barbara Akech requested the Secretariat leadership to take up the cattle compensation concern and extension of electricity into the villages.
“Once addressed, the people here will overwhelmingly vote this government in the coming polls,” Akech said.
Mr. James Otoo Apii, the Dokolo LC5 Chairman said the government should build more classroom blocks to accommodate the big numbers of the pupils.
“Every child should learn in a conducive environment if they are to be competitive with those in urban areas,” Otoo said.
