Nathan Nandala Mafabi, Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) presidential candidate, has pledged to involve the people of Teso in coffee growing, a move seen as a game-changer for the sub-region’s economy.
Addressing rallies in Serere District, Mafabi outlined his plans to revive cotton growing and provide support to small traders and fishermen, promising to lift Teso out of poverty.
Mafabi criticized President Museveni’s government for neglecting the needs of Ugandans, citing the lack of electricity and poor roads in Teso.
“The current government has failed to deliver,” he said. “We will prioritize infrastructure development, including roads and electricity, to open up the sub-region and boost economic growth.”
The FDC candidate promised to provide fridges to small traders and fishermen to help preserve their goods and reduce losses.
He also outlined plans to enhance healthcare and education, and provide monthly stipends for the elderly.
Mafabi’s vision for Teso includes introducing coffee growing, revamping cotton production, and providing monetary compensation to those who lost loved ones and properties. “We will work tirelessly to ensure that Teso is developed and its people prosper,” he said.
“We need leaders who care about the people, not just their own interests,” Mafabi said. “The FDC is committed to serving the people and delivering on our promises.”
As Mafabi traversed the sub-region, he was met with enthusiasm and support from the people. His vision for Teso and Uganda is gaining traction, offering a viable alternative to the current regime.
The FDC candidate’s visit to Teso has sparked hope for a better future, with many believing that change is possible.
As the country gears up for elections, Mafabi’s message is clear: “It’s time for a new direction, it’s time for change.”
Mafabi’s message is resonating with many in the sub-region who feel marginalized and neglected.
His commitment to revive the agricultural sector, support small and medium enterprises, and protect people’s livelihoods has sparked hope for a better future.
