I’m Going To Fight For Release Of NUP Political Prisoners – Minister Balaam Barugahara

The State Minister of Gender, Youth, and Children’s Affairs, Hon Balaam Barugahara has said that fighting for the release of NUP political prisoners will be top of his to-do list.

Apparently, Balaam was in Parliament yesterday to be vetted for his new ministerial position.

Speaking to the press later, he outlined some of the things he is going to do. On top of his list is fighting for the release and rehabilitation of these political prisoners. According to Balaam, these should be skilled and added to the skilled labor in the country.

Furthermore, he said that job Skilling of the youth is the other factor he’s eager to work on. It’s no fact that Uganda has a predominantly youthful population.

However, the majority of these are unemployed with little or no skills. Therefore, he will work to see that they are skilled relevantly.

Read his statement below;

“I’m so glad and already eager to get down to work. My first point to work on will be asking the President to release the incarcerated NUP political prisoners. They should be released and skilled and then integrated into the workforce. Besides, I will make sure that we try as much as possible to skill our youth with different vocational skills. This will be done relevantly according to region and need. Unless there is no money but expect results,” said Balaam.

Additionally, the events promoter said that he’s glad to Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba for being the one who first spotted his leadership qualities.

At first, the President didn’t notice him despite him serving diligently. Instead, he picked the likes of Buchaman and Full Figure.

Balaam however assured President Museveni that he’s picked a “master card and General Fixer.” Therefore, a lot of things are going to be solved since he’s a businessman and knows what to do.
