On Thursday, 22nd October, I raised the lack of primary schools in Nyarachu and Alivu Wards on the Floor of Parliament, asking when they would be coded. I also called for urgent Government intervention at Pokea Primary School.
Every child in Ayivu West deserves quality education

I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and Lugbara Kari community on the passing of Agoge Yuma Manase Abuku, a respected elder of Ayivu West. His legacy in preserving our culture will live on. May God comfort the bereaved and grant his soul eternal rest.

I join the people of Ayivu West in mourning the late Rev. Canon Alfred Jeth Adiburu, a spiritual father who touched countless lives through his ministry in Madi Okollo, Kuluva, Mvara and beyond.
Let us unite to give him a dignified sendoff. His legacy of faith n service lives.

THE TRADE LINK UGANDA AND KENYA DESERVE!
Yesterday, I had the honour of joining the people of Samia Bugwe South as Chief Guest at the thanksgiving ceremony of Hon. Julius Wandera Maganda, held at Butenge Primary School in Lunyo, Busia District.
In my address, I took keen interest in the long standing call by our elders, including Justice James Ogoola, who have been asking for the construction of the 12-kilometre stretch at Mulwanda. Their request is a fair one.
I therefore took the opportunity to direct the Ministry of Works and Transport to work on this road immediately, to ease the movement of our people.
The road will run through Lumino Sub-County and open a third border connection between Uganda and Kenya. It will decongest the heavily used Busia and Malaba crossings and give our traders a faster, cheaper route for cross-border business.
As leaders from the same region, Hon. Maganda and I understand the aspirations of our people. Our communities continue to raise concerns about the condition of roads, railway development and other infrastructure needs that affect their daily lives.
Those concerns deserve action. The Mulwanda road is a practical place to begin, and I look forward to seeing the Ministry of Works and Transport move quickly so that our people can feel the difference.

[Yoweri K Museveni @KagutaMuseveni]

Yesterday, I met with medical interns and leaders of the Uganda Medical Association, led by their President, Dr. Frank Asiimwe, at State House Entebbe.
I committed to supporting the UMA SACCO to enable health workers to access affordable credit, upgrade their skills and create opportunities to employ themselves. This is a practical way of empowering our medical professionals.

I also directed that the policy requiring medical students to complete internship before graduating be corrected. Graduation and housemanship are separate processes, and we should not waste time by mixing the two.
On interns’ allowances, we shall continue consultations while ensuring that our decisions are guided by affordability and sustainability.
I also support the proposal for tax relief for health workers and improved access to essential, life supporting items.
Our goal is to build a strong health sector with skilled, motivated and empowered professionals who can deliver quality healthcare to all Ugandans.
