Ngariam County, Katakwi District, is buzzing with political fervor as Augustine Otuko, the influential Private Secretary to the President for Political Affairs, pitches camp to spearhead the National Resistance Movement (NRM) registration campaign. With the registration window open from March 13th to March 17th, Otuko’s presence has injected a new energy into the drive, urging citizens to engage in the democratic process.
From village gatherings to radio airwaves, Otuko leaves no stone unturned in rallying the NRM community of Katakwi District to participate actively in the registration exercise. As the former contender for the Ngariam County seat, Otuko’s impassioned plea resonates deeply with the locals, emphasizing the importance of civic duty and active participation in decision-making processes.
“I am using this opportunity to remind citizens of their civic duty,” Otuko remarked, highlighting crucial issues such as education, food security, and income generation. Stressing the significance of registering in the yellow book, Otuko empowers NRM members to safeguard the integrity of the process, cautioning against fraudulent practices and urging vigilance in verifying village membership.
The response from Ngariam residents is overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for Otuko’s leadership and dedication to their welfare. Okello Simon, a resident of Apeleun, praised Otuko for not only mobilizing the community for registration but also for educating them on the tactics of election fraudsters, empowering citizens to protect their democratic rights.
In Olupe, residents echoed sentiments of hope and anticipation, welcoming Otuko’s return as a beacon of change amidst challenges posed by corrupt and violent leadership. Women in Obuleyet Parish hailed Otuko’s support for food security and income generation initiatives, pledging to work alongside him to alleviate poverty and improve livelihoods.
As Otuko traverses Aliakamer, Getom, Akoboi, and beyond, his commitment to reaching every corner of Ngariam County underscores the NRM’s determination to strengthen grassroots support and ensure inclusive political participation. With Otuko at the helm, Ngariam stands poised for a new era of empowerment and progress, fueled by the collective spirit of its citizens.
