Former Minister for lower education, Rosemary Ssenninde warned Omoro county citizens about whom they should vote in the forthcoming by-elections. The Omoro county seat was initially held by the Late Jacob Oulanyah, who was also the speaker of the 11th parliament.
The National Resistance Movement (NRM) chose the son, Ojok Andrew Oulanyah to be the party's flag bearers, in a move to 'honor' the late Jacob Oulanyah. Much as this was met with inside uproars, that political seats shouldn't be hereditary but rather have people who are well equiped, the son will be on the ballot.
Ssenninde, who is now NRM's director for National Mobilization, warned the Omoro people NOT to risk voting any opposition party member, as this would affect the area's chances of getting better services. This, however crazy it sounds, leaves a lot of questions on the way different regions recieve services in the country.
While one would also argue that before the death of Jacob Oulanyah, not so much of the national cake was reaching the people of Omoro, yet he (Oulanyah) was a proud member of the NRM and a vocal one. After Ssenninde's caution, should we then agree that some regions are developing at a slow pace compared to others because of their political choice?
