BY OKIDI PATRICK
LAMWO, UGANDA–Lamwo Resident District Commissioner, Mr. William Komakech, has urged residents of Lamwo to actively get involved and participate in various government programmes and projects to benefit from wealth creation initiatives.
Komakech while speaking to the media in a telephone interview on Monday said government has rolled out several interventions such as PDM, Emyooga, YLP, UWEP restocking among others aimed at lifting households out of poverty and it is the responsibility of citizens to embrace them.
The RDC said he has intensified monitoring of government programmes, including the Restocking and Parish Development Model (PDM) programmes, to ensure transparency and value for money.
He warned SACCO group leaders against lack of transparency and coordinated corruption, saying his office will not tolerate manipulation of the poor during PDM assessment espicially charging extra fees in government aided schools.
“I will take serious action on PDM SACCO leaders by arresting some of them suspected for manipulating the poor,” Komakech said adding that “We shall not allow anyone to take advantage of vulnerable people.”
On the restocking programme, Komakech said beneficiary guidelines must be strictly adhered to and warned that anyone who tries to extort money from beneficiaries will be dealt with immediately and legally.
He at the same time commended some successful PDM beneficiaries who have followed H.E the President’s guidelines on wealth creation and “Kisanja No Sleep no corruption” and are already transforming their households.
Meanwhile, the RDC advised parents to prepare early and take children to school on time as Third Term opens on September 14, 2026.
