President Museveni is today embarking on his three-day tour of the West Nile Sub-region aimed at popularizing government wealth creation programmes.
Among the programmes the President is popularizing are Emyooga and the Parish Development Model (PDM).
In his tour, the President is slated to be in Arua City today and tomorrow, and in Obongi District where he will address the people of Madi Sub-region.
The President’s visit in the West Nile today coincides with the day Uganda commemorates 44 years since former president Idi Amin was overthrown.
The son of Koboko, currently part of West Nile, served as the third president of Uganda from 1971 to 1979.
According to the NRM director of communications, Emmanuel Dombo, the President’s tour comes as just a coincidence.
The chairperson of West Nile Parliamentary Caucus, Biyik Lawrence Songa, said people of West Nile want the government to connect their region to the national grid for cheap, reliable power to contribute to the development of the economy.
