KAMPALA— Fresh from taking oath for the 12th Parliament, Ngariam County MP Hon. Peter Ogwang has fired an early warning shot to his team and public officials in his constituency, declaring that his new term will be defined by strict accountability, tough supervision, and zero tolerance for corruption.

Speaking during a thanksgiving and celebration dinner held at Skyz Hotel in Kampala after his swearing-in, Ogwang made it clear that complacency and inefficiency would not be entertained under his watch.
“This new term is not for jokes and jokers. I am going to crack the whip to ensure service delivery is perfect within my team,” Ogwang told guests amid applause.
He emphasized that the mandate given to him by voters comes with heightened expectations and that leaders entrusted with public service must deliver tangible results.

A Tougher Leadership Approach

Ogwang said his renewed term would mark a departure from what he described as routine politics, promising a more hands-on leadership style focused on measurable impact at the grassroots.
He revealed plans to roll out regular community engagements across Ngariam County to assess government programs and directly hear concerns from residents.
“It’s not going to be business as usual. This term is for Hakuna Mchezo and no corruption,” he said.

The legislator noted that service delivery failures often stem from negligence and misuse of public resources, warning that anyone found frustrating development efforts would face consequences.

He said such gestures reflect humility and commitment to building strong relationships beyond politics.

Gratitude and a New Political Chapter

The Ngariam County legislator also paid tribute to Hon. Evelyn Anite and Amb. Vincent Bagiire for standing by him over the years, saying their friendship and encouragement had remained constant.
He described their continued support as instrumental as he embarks on another parliamentary term.
The celebration officially marked the beginning of Ogwang’s new chapter in Parliament, with supporters expressing optimism that his hardline stance on corruption and service delivery could translate into faster development for Ngariam County.

For now, Ogwang’s message is unmistakable: performance is mandatory, excuses are not.
