The CAO praised President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and the government for initiating the Parish Development Model, noting that it provides essential start-up capital for families to enhance their livelihoods.
Echoing similar sentiments, the District Commercial Officer, Mr. Fredrick Alituha, encouraged residents to utilize local resources such as land and Lake Albert to start small businesses instead of waiting for large-scale investments.
