“I want to assure Karamoja that we are ready and set to host the zonal championship. Participating schools should expect a successful competition and an even more vibrant atmosphere compared to previous host schools,” Emojong said.

He called on all participating schools to collaborate closely with the school administration to ensure a well-organized event. “We have everything in place. Our prayer is that schools come here and maintain total discipline during the championship, but everything is ready ahead of the competition,” he added.
