Ex-minister Barbra donates a bus to Buhobe Primary School Busia

 

The former minister of state for Karamoja Affairs, Barbra Oundo Nekesa, has donated a mini-bus to Buhobe Primary School in Bulumbi Sub-County, Busia district.

 The handing over is part of the fulfillment of her earlier pledge she staked to any lower local government in the district that will overwhelmingly vote for President Museveni, the flag bearer of the ruling National Resistance Movement party, and all its party flag bearers in the 2026 polls.

 While handing over the bus to the school management committee, she appealed to the school administration to improve the bus into good performance, especially in the national examination (PLE).

 She said she anticipates that the extended support will help the school in cutting costs that it would encounter in transporting learners for study and exposure tours, as the competency-based curriculum requires.

.Babra is reported to have had a political mobilization at the school grounds last year, campaigning for the president ahead of the concluded 2026 polls, and while there, she pledged to donate transport means to the school as a reward to the community in case they became loyal to the NRM party.

 The pledge came following requests from the school head teacher, Clement Ouma, expressing hurdles that the school faces whenever it has an arrangement to take learners, especially from candidate classes, for study tours as well as co-curricular activities like games and sports.

 She also extended support to 62 groups in Bulumbi Sub-County and 46 groups in Masafu Town Council as seed capital to help boost their capacities, being part of rewards for exhibiting loyalty to the NRM party in the concluded polls.

 She disclosed that compared to 2021, voting patterns for the NRM party in Bulumbi Sub County and Masafu town council in the concluded 2026 presidential polls greatly improved from 46 percent in 2021 to 65 percent in the concluded 2026 polls, a trend she said dispels opposition dominance in the area.

 She tasked party leaders to work extra hard to sustain the voting patterns for the NRM party even after the concluded polls.

 Records from the electoral commission indicate that in the 2021 polls, the opposition scored 47 percent.

Meanwhile, the LC5 Stephen Wasike Mugeni attributes the improved performance to the party mobilization strategy that helped the party reach voters other than the old strategy that would end at power brokers.

Mugeni, who is among the losers in the last LC5 elections, maintains his commitment to supporting the ruling National Resistance Movement government despite losing.

He attributed his loss to a fight among the party leaders, where he accused some of the party leaders of deviating from the party constitution and opted to support independent candidates.
