The Rubanda District Woman MP hopeful, Mrs. Jacqueline Katabazi, called on Christians to embrace prayer and hard work as essential pillars for holistic development.

Speaking on Friday during the launch of the Kakore Rugambwa Parish Traders and Farmers SACCO at Kakore Parish grounds, Mrs. Katabazi emphasized the importance of saving for both personal and family growth.

“No family can grow or develop without saving. Even little savings can grow into something very big for our families,” she remarked, encouraging everyone to start saving, regardless of the amount.

She also highlighted the need to borrow money responsibly for development purposes.

 “Development comes when you borrow money for a good project, but remember to pay it back,” she said, adding that repaying loans keeps SACCOs strong and capable of supporting all members.

Mrs. Katabazi expressed her gratitude to the Bishop of Kabale Diocese, Rt. Rev. Callistus Rubaramira, for consistently teaching the value of combining hard work with prayer.

 “Prayer alone can’t give you wealth. It’s a combination of hard work and prayer. Nothing else. And our Lord Bishop has always reminded us of this,” she explained.

To support the SACCO, Mrs. Katabazi donated 1 million Ugandan Shillings and provided a computer and printer to aid its administrative work.

Katabazi, is the wife of Col. Emmy Katabazi, Deputy Director General of the Internal Security Organization

ALL SENIOR SIX VACISTS TO UNDERGO PATRIOTISM TRAINING AT NALI

All Senior Six vacists in Uganda will undergo patriotism training at the National Leadership Institute (NALI), Kyankwanzi, under a renewed government programme aimed at promoting discipline, patriotism, national identity and responsibility among young people.    The Commissioner of the National Secretariat for Patriotism Corps (NSPC), Hellen Seku, said the programme will begin this year, with the vacists expected to spend about six months at Kyankwanzi. Ms. Seku made the announcement today at Immaculate Heart Girls’ Secondary School Nyakibale in Rukungiri District, where more than 1,700 students from four institutions completed a week-long patriotism training programme. “I can assure you, head teacher, we are going to begin this year. So, this year we agreed with Jaaja (President Museveni) that all Senior Six vacists are going to Kyankwanzi. You’re going to go for about six months,” Ms. Seku said. She said patrons, coordinators, teachers and head teachers who have not undergone patriotism training will also be required to undertake refresher courses. “All patrons and coordinators are going to do a refresher course, including teachers and head teachers who have not yet trained, even those who have taken long. We want everybody to undergo the training,” she said. The announcement marks a revival of a programme that previously brought students and other Ugandans together at Kyankwanzi for ideological and patriotism training. One of the head teachers who attended the event, Gadgar Kibayo Arinitwe of Makobore High School, recalled undergoing a similar programme at Kyankwanzi in 1993 after completing Senior Six. He said the lessons acquired during the training continued to influence his outlook on life decades later. “We were at Kyankwanzi for two months, but I must confess that the values we acquired then have kept shaping our outlook on life,” Mr. Kibayo said. He recalled being taught what he described as the “10 Commandments of a gun”, including a rule against taking alcohol while in possession of a rifle. The students who completed the programme were drawn from Immaculate Heart Girls’ Secondary School Nyakibale, Karoli Lwanga Institute of Health Sciences, Kinyasano Girls’ High School and Makobore High School. They underwent ideology sessions facilitated by various trainers, alongside early morning drills and parades. According to Ms. Seku, the training is intended to inculcate good norms and values among learners while extending patriotism education beyond schools to other sections of society. ...
