The Minister for the Presidency, Hon. Milly Babirye Babalanda, appealed to the youth to unite and pledged full support towards their development. While officiating at a youth meeting held in Nawanyago sub county, Kamuli district, organised by the Kamuli Youth Leadership, the minister urged the youth to also support available government programmes and contribute to meaningful development. According to her, if the youth leadership becomes united and organised, the government will not hesitate to invest in them.

The minister, who is also vying for the Budiope West seat to represent the people of Budiope West in the 12th Parliament, urged the youth to love their country and support the President of Uganda in strengthening the current regime.

At the pivotal event, the National Youth Chairman, Mr Eyeru Jacob, challenged the youth leadership from Busoga to avoid infighting and focus on development. He also pledged support to the incoming leaders who will succeed them.

This comes at a time when many are looking forward to new positions in the youth leadership, such as Isaac Doka Mawerere, who is vying for the Kamuli Youth Leadership seat and the position of Finance on the national level. He painted a vivid picture of the importance of youth leadership for both the youth and the community, promising to work hard for the best outcomes if entrusted with votes. Mawerere is the son of the Minister for the Presidency, who is also contesting for the Budiope West seat.
