APOLIN PARISH,NGARIAM COUNTY — The political winds in Ngariam County in Katakwi District blew with unusual clarity at Apolin Primary School, where local leaders spoke with one voice: Hon. Peter Ogwang deserves another term.

What began as a community rally quickly transformed into a powerful declaration of support, echoing through the plains of Katakwi like a drum of certainty.

A Chorus of Confidence in Ogwang’s Leadership

One by one, leaders rose to affirm the minister’s unmatched record.

LC1 Chairman John Francis Opus of Apolin village delivered the first thunderbolt:

“You cannot replace a workaholic with a novice. Never!”

It was the kind of line that settled the crowd into agreement — a reminder that Ngariam has tasted real service and refuses to gamble with uncertainty.

From Aburosinge village, LC1 Chair Vincent Idungo added metaphor to conviction:

“A bull that pulls the ox plough well cannot be replaced or sold.”

A vivid image of reliability — the kind Ogwang has represented for years.

Katakwi Subcounty,LC3 Chairperson Henry Moses Omaje, wrapped the moment in solemn wisdom:

“Leadership comes from God. Hon. Ogwang is a divine intervention for Ngariam.”

Ogwang’s Message: From Roads to Richer Households

Taking the microphone, Hon. Ogwang shifted the conversation from politics to prosperity.

His next-term priority? Household income.

He spoke plainly, almost fatherly:

“We must deal with poverty. Instead of pouring Shs 40 million into opening access roads, let us invest that money in village SACCOs, goats, and sheep. These are the real tools for lifting homes from poverty.”

A policy of empowerment — not pity — and one that resonated deeply with listeners.

Tackling the  Awaya Earth Dam Standoff

But his tone sharpened when he addressed what he called a betrayal of community trust.

He condemned the actions of Apuda Ignatius Loyola,a resident of Apolin village who is also the Ngariam County flag bearer for the opposition party Forum for Democratic Change(FDC) who has allegedly blocked community access to the government-constructed Awaya earth dam, community hall, and borehole.

“It is unfortunate that a son of the soil can deny his own people access to these facilities which are meant to benefit all the community members and such a person is also aspiring to be a leader; very unfortunate.”

The crowd murmured in agreement — a communal grievance laid bare.

A Campaign Rooted in Delivery

As Ogwang’s re-election caravan moves across Ngariam County, the narrative is becoming clear:delivery, dependability, and development.

From education to infrastructure to community economic projects, his track record continues to shape the county’s political conversation — and leaders are determined not to gamble with momentum.

Ngariam County has spoken; the message rings loud:

Hon Peter Ogwang is not just a candidate — he is the continuity of progress.
