At a campaign rally in Atiira, Serere District, FDC presidential aspirant Nathan Nandala Mafabi heard residents’ frustrations over a local fruit factory that allegedly favours imported produce over local farmers. One resident, Charles Ocen, urged Mafabi to prioritise local raw materials to create jobs for Ugandans. Mafabi later continued his campaign to Kamod Trading Centre in Kasilo.
