Niwagaba Pushes Ndorwa East Toward Prosperity — Through Farming, Unity, and Youth Opportunities
In a series of community engagements across Ndorwa East, Wilfred Niwagaba urged residents to shift from subsistence living to economically empowering ventures — particularly through production of high-value cash crops such as avocado and coffee.
Speaking to congregations on Thursday in Buhara Sub county , Niwagaba highlighted the robust demand — both locally and globally — for crops like avocado, arguing that leveraging this demand can transform household incomes.
He used the rallies not just to talk about agriculture, but also to caution communities against “political noise.” According to him, some politicians use propaganda, rumours, or vote-buying as tactics to divide people and distract them from real development issues. He urged citizens to choose leaders based on proven delivery, not empty promises or short-term handouts.
Empowering Youth and Building Long-Term Growth
A central theme of Niwagaba’s message was youth empowerment. He encouraged young people to tap into available government programmes — such as Parish Development Model (PDM), Youth Livelihood Programme, and Uganda Women Entrepreneurship Programme — and to view them as platforms for starting sustainable ventures.
He proposed increasing PDM village allocations from the current 100 million shillings — arguing that areas with high economic potential deserve more support.
Beyond agriculture, Niwagaba reaffirmed his long-standing record of investing in social development: distributing agricultural tools supporting students with educational materials and rewards, and backing infrastructure improvements — all aimed at lifting the constituency out of poverty.
A Call for Real Development, Not Divisiveness
Residents at the gatherings expressed gratitude. Some pointed out tangible changes: better support for schools, improved farming tools, and community-wide efforts that transcend political or tribal lines.
As the election season looms, Niwagaba asked his constituents to reflect before casting their ballots: choose leaders who deliver services and stability — not those peddling short-lived handouts or sowing division.
