Dokolo, Uganda | Residents of Ocero Parish in Bata Sub-County have urged NRM flagbearer Joseph Jones Ogwal to address key local challenges, including lack of clean water, poor roads, and limited educational infrastructure, as he campaigns for the 2026-2031 parliamentary term.
At a rally held yesterday in Ocero Parish, local leaders highlighted pressing needs, including boreholes to provide safe water, upgrading Ocero Community School, establishing a government health centre, and constructing a kitchen for caretakers at Alapatar Health Centre II.
Villagers also called for increased support for youth, women, and vulnerable groups.
Ogwal responded by promising immediate and long-term interventions.
He pledged to deliver construction materials for the health centre kitchen, follow up with government authorities to code schools, and ensure the establishment of a technical school to enhance youth skills.
He also vowed to advocate for improved roads and boreholes in all villages within Dokolo North.
Local leaders at the rally, including LC I chairpersons and the LC III chairperson for Bata Sub-County Alex Ojok, expressed confidence in Ogwal’s ability to deliver.
“If we want tangible development, we must vote for Ogwal Jones,” said Moro Sam, NRM Parish Chairperson for Ocero.
Edward Okuk Oluma, aspiring area councillor, said Ogwal is the candidate best positioned to uplift livelihoods by advocating for increased PDM support and legislation to protect youth and women.
“We need a leader who prioritizes our needs and ensures government programs reach the grassroots,” he added.
Ogwal emphasized that his campaign is grounded in practical solutions.
“Our communities have waited too long for basic services. I am committed to ensuring education, health, water, and skills development reach every household in Dokolo North,” he said.
The rally underscored the community’s determination to see visible development and highlighted the electorate’s focus on leaders capable of translating promises into action.
