" There are a number of Government Programs for example the Youth Livelihood Program, the Uganda Women Enterprenearship Empowerment Program, Emyooga and now the new Parish Development model which are aimed at pulling the remaining 39% of the remaining population into the money economy. I would like to emplore you to form groups and benefit from these programs so as to fight against poverty," he said.

" The District Chairperson's speech has clearly laid out what has been done through out the Financial year, the projects are quite impressive and we ask them to continue with the spirit of working hard," she said. She also cautioned natives to be security alert noting that the recent attack in Bwera should not be taken forgranted.

" There is a section of people that hate progression, that is the same group making attacks and killing innoscent sauls, for that reason let us be extra careful," she said
