President Yoweri Museveni will today comb Tororo district for votes. However, he had unfished business in Pallisa.
He addressed rallies in Pallisa yesterday, but still has to go to places he was not able to reach yesterday. Thereofre, on his mind is Pallisa county where he will address a rally in the morning before heading to Tororo.
In Tororo, he will begin with Tororo South, then head North before going to West Budama. The President addresses an average of four rallies a day. Therefore, other parts of Tororo that will not have been reached will be catered for tomorrow.
Residents are already moving to the venues of all the rallies he will address.
A recent Vision Group poll showed the top five concerns for voters in this district as:
- Poverty
- National security
- Roads
- n Health
- Unemployment
FAUSTINE ODEKE asked the people of Tororo district what they expect from President Museveni today.
Stephen Olele Mande, bodaboda rider: We need the President to address the issue of unemployment among the youth, which has led to increased crime in the society. It is a big problem in Tororo.
Fred Wateya, youth leader: I hope the President will talk about how he plans to foster unity, focus on agricultural mechanisation and lobby for regional and international markets for our produce.
Harriet Namakwa, secretary: Let President Museveni tell us how he will improve the living conditions of slum dwellers. We need the Government to improve housing and capital development.
Jane Emojong, distiller: I want a president who will respect human rights and offer freedom to every individual to exercise their constitutional rights. Let the President tell us how he will ensure this.
Kauda Bagamoyo, elder Amagoro A North village: We need the President to address infrastructural development in Tororo. Other towns are growing, but that is not reflected here. Let him also tell us how he plans to attract investment into our locality to address the rampant unemployment.
