A group of Karimojong from north-eastern Uganda travelled to Ntungamo district in the south, and requested voters to re-elect the First Lady Janet Museveni as member of Parliament for Ruhaama.
The Karimojong, mainly from Moroto district, said Janet’s re-election would enable her carry on development initiatives for both Ruhaama and their region.
Speaking at the launch of her campaign, held at Rukoni Primary School Playground on Friday, the group hailed her work in their region, describing her as a “God-chosen mother.â€
Janet is also state minister for Karamoja Affairs.
Janet, who was accompanied by her daughters and sons-in-law, pointed out her achievements in the last five years as MP, which included improving household incomes, drilling 34 boreholes in various schools, putting rain water collection systems in seven schools and setting up gravity flow schemes.
Others are renovating Itojo Hospital and Kitwe Health Centre and providing ambulances and assorted medical equipment and supplies to the hospital.
She added that classrooms, teachers’ houses, offices and latrines had been constructed in some primary and secondary schools which had poor infrastructure.
The first lady also supported agricultural mechanisation, distribution of coffee seedlings and study tours. She also planted 96,000 trees in Itojo, Rweikiniro and Ntungamo sub-counties.
She requested the residents to ensure that the National Resistance Movement (NRM) party wins both the presidential and parliamentary elections in order to consolidate the gains achieved.
Mrs. Museveni said NRM was committed to building a prosperous Uganda.
The party vice-chairperson, Moses Kigongo, who was the chief guest, applauded the first lady for being sincere and accountable to her electorate and urged other politicians to emulate her.
