The State Minister for Economic Monitoring, Hon. Peter Ogwang has urged the youth to take advantage of the available government programmes to avoid being misled by self-seeking politicians and to also be productive in their activities.
"The Government has availed several programmes to enable you to engage in productive income-generating activities. Take advantage of them to avoid being lied to by these politicians who don't have your interests at heart," Hon Ogwang said.
The minister was today meeting a total number of 800 youth from the four sub-counties of Gogonyo county at Kaukura Primary School playgrounds in Kaukura sub-county accompanied by the NRM Director of mobilisation Hon Rosemary Sseninde.
Hon Ogwang urged the youth and the people of Gogonyo County to stay focused and support the government since their main objective as the party in leadership is ensuring that every Ugandan joins the money economy starting from the household level.
"As far as development is concerned am here to entirely support the NRM party and am happy our flag bearer invited us to talk to the young people, of which I am well conversant," he added.
On her part, the NRM Director for Mobilisation, Hon Rosemary Nansubuga Seninde said that the National Chairman who also doubles as the President of the Republic of Uganda, H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni had directed the Party maintains Hon Derrick Orone as the flagbearer for Gogonyo County to enable him to complete his five-year term.
"What we have to make very clear, is that we have come to fight for the flagbearer, we have come to fight for NRM to win this election. We, therefore, do not want to divide our people. we can’t afford to leave our people divided that’s the reason the Chairman of the Party met with Issa Taligoola to step aside and give way for the current flag bearer so that he can come in 2026." Hon Seninde stressed.
