As campaigns for the Serere County Parliamentary seat heat up, our Flagbearer Philip Oucor has promised to take the lead in the war against poverty, as well advocate for effective service delivery for his constituents.
Oucor says, bad leadership has for long been the main cause of failure and frustration of government programs on poverty alleviation.
"We've discovered that the biggest problem has always been bad leaders who don't bother to follow up on the different government programmes. This leads to misappropriation and corruption, hence, many of our people end up lagging behind in terms of development.
The NRM government has introduced several poverty alleviation programmes like the Parish Development Model (PDM), Operation Wealth Creation (OWC) and Emyooga, however the money has not reached the intended people in the community." Oucor says, vowing that the practice will have to change.
The NRM party candidate spoke to voters at Obur village, Kyere Parish in Kyere Sub-county while canvassing for votes on day Six of his Campaign trail.
