KAMPALA Uganda (UGNEWSLINE) – The National Resistance Movement (NRM) National Treasurer, Amb. Barbara Nekesa Oundo, has donated a freehold piece of land to the ruling party for the construction of its district offices in Busia.
Amb. Nekesa officially handed over the land title, measuring 0.111 hectares, to the NRM Secretary General, Rt. Hon. Richard Todwong, on behalf of the party secretariat.
The land is situated at Plot 31, along Hadongole Road in Busia Municipality.
Explaining the decision behind the donation, Amb. Nekesa revealed that she acquired the property in July 2011, shortly after joining the 9th Parliament, but had deliberately left it undeveloped over the years.
“I procured this land in July 2011, just a month into the 9th Parliament. I later acquired different properties after that and subsequently developed them, but for close to 15 years, this particular one has remained vacant. I think it was meant to host the Party in Busia District,” she said.
She expressed satisfaction at finally dedicating the property to the party, noting that the donation was in line with what she believed had been its intended purpose.
“I am, therefore, more than happy to now donate it to where it was destined to be,” Amb. Nekesa told the Secretary General and other senior party officials.
In his remarks, Rt. Hon. Todwong commended Amb. Nekesa for the donation, describing her gesture as a demonstration of commitment to the NRM and its continued growth.
“You have demonstrated exemplary leadership to the NRM members in Busia and the country at large,” Todwong said.
