Kwania, Uganda | President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has promised that the Government of Uganda will construct new health centres and schools in sub-counties across Kwania District that currently lack these essential facilities.
The President made the remarks on Friday while addressing a rally at Kwania Boma Grounds during his third day of campaign meetings in the Lango Sub-region.
Museveni said the initiative, to be implemented through the Ministries of Health and Education, is part of his broader plan to improve access to public services in rural communities.
He explained that in his next term of office, government will establish a new Health Centre III in Ayabi Town Council, upgrade Aninolola Health Centre II in Inomo Sub-county to Health Centre III, and elevate Nambieso Health Centre III to Health Centre IV level.
He said the planned facilities will be constructed during the 2026/2031 financial year and will be fully equipped with essential drugs and medical staff to serve residents effectively.
Museveni added that the intervention is intended to strengthen healthcare delivery and ensure that citizens do not have to travel long distances to seek medical attention.
On education, the President said the government will construct seven new secondary schools in seven sub-counties and 20 new primary schools in 20 parishes across Kwania District.
He said this will help address the education infrastructure gap and improve learning outcomes for children in the area.
The President also revealed plans to introduce a new funding scheme for fishing communities across the country.
The fund, he said, will help fishermen acquire recommended fishing gear and promote sustainable fishing practices, while enabling them to generate more income and eradicate poverty within their households.
Meanwhile, Kwania District NRM Chairperson, Shadam Abilib, pledged that the district will deliver overwhelming support for President Museveni and other NRM flag bearers in the 2026 general election, targeting 90 percent of the vote.
Kwania District LCV Chairperson, Alex Geoffrey Ogwal Adyebo, who subscribes to the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC), also declared his support for Museveni’s candidature.
He said Kwania has registered significant progress in infrastructure, health, and education under the NRM government, adding that he supports the continuity of the current leadership to consolidate development gains.
