The Speaker of Parliament Anita Among has appealed to the people of Teso sub region to reject politicians who have made it a habit to fight every government program.
Among made the call during a ceremony to ordain priests and deacons at Holy Family Parish Gweri in Soroti Diocese last week in a ceremony presided over by Soroti Diocese Bishop, Rt. Rev Dr. Joseph Eciro.
She said regardless of political affiliation, send to Parliament leaders who will best represent the interests of the people, not those that oppose every program at every chance they get.
Rt. Hon. Among who described the religious leaders as very influential in mobilizing the people, asked them to support government programs aimed at empowering Ugandans, such as the Parish Development Model
She asked the people of Teso to support Herbert Ariko in the forthcoming Soroti East by election.
Ms Among made a cash contribution of 100 million shillings towards the construction Regina Acheli Cathedral, and 100 million shillings for bishop’s house. END
