Ambassador Nekesa’s Call to Action: Wealth Creation and Unity

In her address to the congregation, Ambassador Nekesa emphasized the transformative potential of government programs such as the Parish Development Model (PDM) and Emyooga. She urged believers to combine these opportunities with their God-given talents to combat poverty and achieve self-reliance.

“You cannot be a true believer or worshipper unless you have money in your pocket,” she stated, emphasizing the importance of financial stability in individual and community growth. She highlighted practical investments such as poultry and goat rearing as viable pathways to prosperity.

Ambassador Nekesa also encouraged the congregation to make productive use of their time, urging them to focus on activities that generate income and contribute to the development of Busia.

Reflecting on her personal journey from Busia to national leadership, Ambassador Nekesa reminded the audience of their collective responsibility to transform the district. “If we wait for anybody to change Busia, in a couple of years everyone will tell their neighbor that we are waiting for our own selves,” she remarked.

Her contribution of UGX 5 million to the Busia Pastors’ Forum signaled her commitment to faith-based development, with a promise of continued support in future visits.

Ambassador Nekesa’s visit served as a rallying call for unity and self-reliance, inspiring hope for a brighter future. Her generous contributions, coupled with her emphasis on wealth creation and community effort, resonated deeply with the congregation.

The event showcased the NRM government’s dedication to inclusive development through programs like PDM and Emyooga. With Ambassador Nekesa’s leadership and the active participation of Busia’s residents, the vision of a transformed and prosperous district is closer than ever.
