He warned that anyone arrested for corruption should not seek his intervention, emphasizing that leaders must work with integrity to ensure government programs reach the rightful beneficiaries, as more initiatives are still on the way.

Meanwhile, District Chairman Nelson Adea Akar also addressed mourners, expressing gratitude to President Museveni for increasing road maintenance funds from one billion to two billion shillings among six districts in Uganda.

Akar pledged to work closely with the President for the development of Oyam, even stating that he would kneel before him if necessary for the district’s progress.
