NTUNGAMO- Political and civic leaders have been challenged to empower and support talented young Ugandans in order to spur social-economic transformation across the country.
According to Ruhaama sub county councilor Ahabwe Bernard Mupenda, young people must support and involve them in planning and decision making if the country is to have competent generational leaders.
Councilor Mupenda made remarks on Saturday while officiating the handing over of the relief items to the beneficiaries at Ruhaama sub county playground donated by the Mwonyo’s Heart a charity organization started by students of Uganda Christian University Mukono.
He challenged all leaders to always have charity organizations aimed at lobbying for their constituents especially to the less privileged people. Mupenda hailed the Namanya Violah Buroko for the initiative saying that it is a shocker absorber for the other Ruhaama people in diaspora.
