In a statement, David Kabanda, MP and General Secretary of the PLU, expressed confidence in the capabilities of the newly appointed team. He emphasized that their leadership reflects PLU's core values of patriotism, integrity, and commitment to public service.  

“The Patriotic League of Uganda is confident in the dedication and commitment of these individuals. Their leadership will be instrumental in fostering patriotism, combating corruption, and addressing the challenges facing communities in Teso Sub-Region. We look forward to seeing this team contribute significantly to socio-economic transformation,” Mr. Kabanda stated.  

The Teso Sub-Region, which comprises key districts such as Soroti, Kumi, and Katakwi, has historically faced challenges related to infrastructure development, education, and economic growth.
