It gives me great pleasure and to join this distinguished team serving the people of Lwengo District. Allow me to begin by sincerely thanking each and every one of you for the warm reception you have extended to me since my arrival. The enthusiasm and professionalism I have encountered from both the political and technical wings of our leadership have been truly commendable. I have also had the opportunity to interact with a number of key stakeholders, and the positive energy and spirit of collaboration I have experienced are both encouraging and motivating.

As I take on the responsibilities of the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), I am inspired by the immense potential that lies within this district. I am here not just as an administrator, but as a partner committed to working alongside you in the journey toward a more prosperous and inclusive Lwengo. My vision is anchored in enhancing service delivery through streamlined project planning, effective monitoring and evaluation, transparency, accountability, efficient communication, and citizen-centered governance.

We all share a common goal: to uplift the standards of living of our people and to meaningfully contribute to the realization of the national vision—transforming Uganda into a modern and prosperous middle-income country by 2040. Achieving this vision will require deliberate effort, strategic focus, and most importantly, unity of purpose. We must act not in silos, but as one coordinated team—driven by results and guided by integrity.

As your CAO, I recognize that leadership is not a one-person endeavor. It is a collective effort that demands the cooperation, creativity, and commitment of every member of the team. I, therefore, extend an open invitation to all: let us work together, support each other, and build bridges that allow for seamless collaboration between departments, sectors, and governance structures.

I would like to reaffirm that my office remains open and accessible to all. I encourage you—our colleagues in the technical departments, political leadership, civil society organizations, development partners, media, business community, and the general public—to feel free to engage with me at any time. Let us maintain open channels of communication, share ideas, raise concerns, and, most importantly, work toward practical solutions that serve the interests of our citizens.

To the political wing, I urge continued cooperation and partnership. Our respective roles, though distinct, are complementary. A harmonious relationship between the political leadership and the technical team is essential in ensuring smooth implementation of government programs and projects. Let us work hand in hand to ensure that resources are put to the best possible use and that every intervention leaves a positive impact on our people.

To the technical staff, I challenge you to raise the bar. Embrace innovation, uphold ethical standards, and remain accountable to the public you serve. Let us adopt a results-oriented culture and strive to deliver services that truly respond to the needs of the people. The public service must be characterized by professionalism, dedication, and adaptability in a constantly changing environment.

To all stakeholders—including advocacy groups, the media, civil society organizations, the private sector, and the general public—your role in governance and development is invaluable. We call upon you to support government initiatives, offer constructive feedback, and work collaboratively with the district leadership to identify and address key challenges. Your partnership is essential in ensuring that our programs are inclusive, people-centered, and sustainable.

The journey ahead will not be without challenges. We are well aware that our district faces constraints, especially in terms of resources. However, our collective creativity and resourcefulness must not be underestimated. Let us maximize the strategic, physical, human, and environmental assets that we have at our disposal. With commitment, innovation, and hard work, we can overcome limitations and unlock new opportunities for development.

In closing, I want to emphasize that the development of Lwengo is a responsibility that belongs to all of us. It is a shared dream that requires every hand on deck. Let us believe in our potential, trust in our collective strength, and move forward with a renewed sense of purpose.

Together, we can and will build a stronger, more resilient, and more prosperous Lwengo District.

For God and My Country.
