Today, the Council of African Political Parties (CAPP) elected me, alongside my elder sister, Dr. Asha-Rose Migiro, Secretary General of Tanzania’s Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) @ccm_tanzania as Vice Chairpersons representing East Africa.
I am deeply honoured by this responsibility. It is a reminder that whatever we do within our respective political organisations goes beyond our national borders. The continent is watching, and our actions must reflect our shared aspirations for a united, peaceful and prosperous Africa.

I have learnt with profound shock and deep sadness about the passing of Mzee Hon. Peter Okwera, a former Member of Parliament, prominent corporate executive and respected senior elder of Acholi.

I knew Mzee Okwera personally as a principled man who stood firmly for the interests, dignity and welfare of the Acholi people. His commitment to Acholi was not merely expressed through words but demonstrated through his actions and unwavering positions on matters affecting our community.

During my tenure as Chairperson of the @ApgPiLwak (APG), Mzee Okwera stood with us and supported our efforts under Operation Harmony. At the height of the Balaalo controversy in Acholi, he courageously stood against the activities and practices that were disturbing our communities and supported the call for their eviction. He was equally firm in advocating for compensation for Acholi livestock lost during the insurgency and also supported President @KagutaMuseveni 's Executive Order No. 3. He also maintained a strong position against cattle rustling and insecurity in our region.

Beyond his advocacy for Acholi, Mzee Okwera had a distinguished record of public and corporate service. He served as a Member of @Parliament_Ug representing Agago County during the Fifth Parliament, later served as Resident District Commissioner of Kaberamaido District, and went on to provide leadership as Executive Director of Uganda Grain Milling Company.

His passing is not only a personal loss to his family and friends but also a great loss to Acholi and the country at large. We have lost an elder whose courage, experience and willingness to stand for what he believed was right will be remembered.

Mzee Okwera, thank you for standing with Acholi when it mattered. Your contribution to our people's struggle, welfare and dignity will not be forgotten.

May the Almighty God comfort your family, relatives, friends and the entire Acholi community during this difficult moment.

Rest in eternal peace, Mzee Hon. Peter Okwera.

Your legacy lives on.

I P0218 and Hon. @Mapenduzi_Ojara witnessed the massive turnout and enthusiasm of the people who came out in large numbers for @mkainerugaba ’s endorsement at yesterday’s @PLUsecretariat rally in Pader.

I sincerely thank the people of Acholi, particularly the people of Pader District, for the impressive mobilisation and participation. Special appreciation to @MichealMawanda1 and @DaudiKabanda for attending and witnessing firsthand the remarkable turnout.

My heartfelt thanks also go to Hon. Christopher Komakech for the tremendous mobilisation and coordination.

Pader and Acholi, you truly made your presence felt. Thank you for such an impressive show of participation!
