Speaker Among praises M7 for restoring peace to the Teso, Lango & Northern region

The NRM’s Second National Vice Chairperson, Rt. Hon. Anita Among has praised President Museveni for restoring peace to the region.

“You would sleep one week on the road because of insecurity caused by
Kony–Lakwena rebels,” she said. “But we want to thank you for
sacrificing yourself and bringing peace.”Rt. Hon. Among also introduced the massive gathering of 15,000
leaders from the ten districts of Lango—Apac, Kole, Otuke, Alebtong,
Kwania, Oyam, Amolatar, Dokolo, Lira, and Lira City.

She applauded President Museveni for increasing LC1 chairpersons’ pay
from Shs 10,000 to Shs 100,000 and requested that they be made
ex-officio members of district councils so they can directly monitor
government programs.

“People keep saying, ‘Don’t vote for President Museveni.’ Do you own the voters?” She challenged critics.“This country belongs to all of us. For me, I can assure you, we are going to deliver.”

Rt. Hon. Among emphasized that candidate Museveni’s trust in Lango,
is reflected through key ministerial appointments from the region,
including the Ministers of Health, Gender, and the Government Chief
Whip.Among made the statement while addressing more than 15,000 NRM leaders gathered at Lango College in
Lira City on Sunday, December 7, 2025, she acknowledged
concerns raised about regional connectivity and pledged to review the
issue of eastern access to ensure fair and balanced infrastructure
development across the entire sub-region.Hon. Obua, who earlier welcomed President Museveni to what he termed a
historic gathering, said no similar meeting of such magnitude had ever
been held in the history of NRM. He urged the President to replicate the
same model in Acholi and West Nile, arguing that such engagements
energize grassroots structures.

Hon. Obua outlined President Museveni’s achievements in the region,
including, establishment of Lira University, the upgrading of Lira
Hospital to a Regional Referral Hospital (RRH), the development of Akii
Bua Stadium, and the progress on four strategic road projects, including
the Dokolo–Kaberamaido–Namasale and Abuke–Bobi roads.After the Lira meeting, the President is scheduled to resume his
campaign itinerary on Monday, December 8, 2025, with visits to Kamwenge
and Kyegegwa districts.
