The youths in Kamwenge districts have been advised to utilize government programs like Parish development model, Emyooga, Youth livelihood fund e.t.c to empower themselves economically and reduce unemployment in Uganda.
This message was delivered by the Kamwenge District chairman, Mr.Karungi Joseph, while addressing the NRM pressure group Generation Seven(G7) coordinators at Kamwenge youth centre.
Mr.Karungi called upon youths across the country to use the opportunities setup by government to transform their lives positively other than wasting time on matters which do not benefit them.
Mr Karungi also encouraged the young people to take advantage of the presidential skilling initiative where they can acquire hands-on skills which can also enable them to start up their own businesses and create more jobs hence increasing the taxe base and development of the region.
However, the National coordinator for Generation Seven Mr.Stephen Mukasa appreciated the hospitality showed to him by his members and advised them to keep up the spirit untill 2026 since their Patron H.E.Gen.Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has confirmed his comeback such that they are ready to offer him full support in the 2026 general elections.
Mukasa Stephen applauded the Kamwenge District chairman Mr.Karungi Joseph and other leaders like Brig. Gen. Charles kisembo for strengthening security in the area, promoting unity, accountability and development as stipulated in the NRM manifesto and in the Generation Seven objectives.
He also cautioned youths in Kamwenge to be careful while chosing the groups to work with since some groups might recruit them pretending to offer help yet they are mobilising them to join terrorist groups unknowingly since the area near the forests of Congo where many insurgent groups are operating from.
