MPIGI — Mawokota North Member of Parliament Amelia Kyambadde has asked her constituents to steer clear of divisive politics and concentrate on development efforts aimed at lifting households out of poverty.
Kyambadde said the political season is over and time for all actors to devote their energies to campaigns that help people escape poverty through practical support.
She made the remarks while distributing 50,000 coffee seedlings to village chairpersons and farmers in Kiringente and Kammengo sub-counties in Mpigi district today (November 11).
Kiringente received 10,000 seedlings, while the remaining 40,000 seedlings went to Kammengo.
Kyambadde first met farmers at Katende school playground in Kiringente sub-county before proceeding to Kammengo, where she was received by more farmers.

She cautioned beneficiaries against selling the seedlings, urging them instead to plant and nurture them so that the crops become a source of income.
Cossy Kiyingi, the Kammengo sub-county chairperson, encouraged residents to plant the coffee and take good care of it. He thanked Kyambadde for her support towards the community.
Other leaders, including Abdul Kasozi, the district youth councillor, and Robert Makumbi, the National Resistance Movement chairperson for Kammengo sub-county, also commended the legislator for supporting her people.
Kyambadde has previously supported farmers organised in various groups with small tractors and maize seeds, as well as fertilisers distributed to farmers under the Parish Development Model.
