Fulfil Your Promise To Support Volunteer Organization – Mpuuga To Government

Mathias Mpuuga, leader of opposition has urged the government to fulfill their promise to support volunteer organizations.

Mpuuga was speaking during the launch of the centenary celebrations of the congregation in Nkokonjeru, Buikwe district over the weekend.

According to him, institutions such as the Little Sisters of St Francis of Assisi congregation which runs a number of high-performance schools such as Mt. St. Mary’s college Namagunga and health facilities such as Nsambya Hospital deserve a hand from the government.

“When Covid-19 attacked us, I remember making a statement on the floor of Parliament challenging ourselves to consider the humble works of these organizations. I still strongly suggest that government needs to move fast. Volunteers like the Little Sisters congregation need to benefit from the presence of a government,” Mpuuga said.

“When I gave the statement on this matter in Parliament, the response from the prime minister was that ‘yes we are seriously considering it’. So, today is the reminder to track the commitment from the prime minister,” he added.

VP Jessica Alupo at the function promised to work together with Mpuuga on this issue.

“We shall go and discuss how to support these institutions in another forum. I can promise that I will work with you to mobilize our other colleagues, because we know the 100 rooms need completing,” Alupo said.
