Milly Babalanda Minister for Presidency has successfully been nominated by the Electoral Commission officials as NRM flag bearer for Member of Parliament for Budiope West in Buyende district.
”This moment means a lot to me and my brothers and sisters of Budiope West, Buyende district and the entire Busoga region. It is neither a mere political event nor just about power or position. This is about service, as well as a reaffirmation of God’s calling for me to serve his people,”Babalanda told journalists shortly after the nomination process.
she pledged to lobby for the upgrading of health centers, maternity wards, and emergency services so that no mother or child suffers for lack of care.
In infrastructure, Babalanda promised to continue pushing for the tarmacking of the Kamuli–Bukungu road, and for the opening of key feeder roads connecting our trading centers, because development cannot move where roads don’t.
In agriculture, she pledged to prioritize the farmer through cooperatives, access to markets, irrigation schemes, and better seeds. I believe this will turn farming into a profitable business that uplifts every household.
“I will build on my long-standing efforts to support SACCOs, skills training, and start-up capital. I have seen first-hand how a small boost can change a life; such as a youth starting a welding business, a woman opening a shop, or a ghetto youth turning talent into income. That is the spirit of the NRM’s wealth creation programs like the Parish Development Model, Emyooga and all other presidential initiatives,”she narrated.
“I will also continue defending the rights and livelihoods of our fishermen on Lake Kyoga, who deserve fair treatment, protection, and opportunities to benefit from our natural resources,” she added.
According to Babalanda her vision is to build Budiope West where no child walks long distances to school, no mother dies giving birth, no farmer struggles alone, and no youth loses hope.
In conclusion she thanked fellow NRM supporters for standing with her and Budiope West people for believing in her saying together, we shall build a constituency that is healthy, productive, peaceful, and prosperous.
