As Uganda enters a new political term of 2026-2031, Alebtong Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Okiswa Geoffrey has extended a warm congratulatory message to President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni following his inauguration for the 2026–2031 term.
In a statement released shortly after the ceremony at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, Okiswa hailed the President’s victory as a clear mandate from Ugandans to continue the journey of socio-economic transformation.
“On behalf of the people of Alebtong and on my own behalf, I congratulate His Excellency upon his swearing-in. This milestone is a testament to the trust Ugandans place in your commitment to peace, stability, and national development,” the RDC stated.
Okiswa, who has been a key driver of government programs in the Lango sub-region, noted that the new term provides a “golden opportunity” to deepen the impact of wealth creation initiatives. He highlighted the Parish Development Model (PDM) and Emyooga as critical pillars for the 2026–2031 agenda. [1]
Focus on Alebtong’s Program
Under Museveni’s Government, RDC Okiswa said Alebtong District has seen significant strides, including:
- Wealth Creation: Over 7,600 women and 5,000 youth in the district have already transitioned into the money economy via PDM funds as of March 2026.
- Infrastructure: Ongoing electricity expansion and the planned upgrading of the Lira–Alebtong–Abim road.
- Agriculture: A major push for perennial crops, with 100,000 coffee seedlings recently distributed to local farmers to boost household incomes. [2]
The RDC expressed confidence that the President’s seventh term will usher in even greater prosperity and unity for the nation, as outlined in the NRM’s slogan of “Protecting The Gains”.
