Okidi Patrick, Alebtong – The Assistant Resident District Commissioner (ARDC) of Alebtong district, Jimmy Okello, has issued a stern warning to leaders sabotaging government programs in the area, threatening legal action against those found guilty.
He dismissed allegations made by a local council leader that he is campaigning for President Yoweri Museveni and government chief whip Denis Hamson Obua, stating that the accusation is baseless. Okello emphasized his commitment to promoting the achievements of President Museveni and the NRM government, particularly in the area of wealth creation.
Addressing the press, Okello revealed that a certain LCV councilor from one of Alebtong’s sub-counties is actively hindering government programs and a medical camp benefiting the community of Ajuri constituency.
He also announced a manhunt for five individuals who stole iron sheets intended for the construction of a seeds secondary school in Alebtong district, accusing the same councilor of shielding the suspects from justice.
The recovered items, including iron sheets and water drums, were seized under the direction of ARDC Okello and Alebtong District police officers.
In an interview with The Ankole Times, Okello reiterated the importance of implementing government programs without interference from local leaders, including LCV councilors. He emphasized the need for proper supervision of projects such as Seeds school construction, PDM, Emyooga, YLP, and UWEP.
Okello commended President Museveni and the NRM government for the successful implementation of the PDM project, which has benefited numerous Ugandans. He also praised Ajuri County MP Denis Obua Hamson for his role in the recent health camp and his efforts to secure tractors for the people of Alebtong district.
