This was confirmed by the former minister of state for Northern Uganda hon Kwiyocwiny Grace Freedom now Mp Ora County that the tractor was sold in Nwoya District,but the farmers say they deserve clear answers about the whereabout of the tractor,and also sources intended to benefit them and strengthen agricultural production in the district.


The concerns extend beyond the tea sector. Youth, women and other community members are also calling for greater transparency and accountability in government programmes, including the Youth Livelihood Programme (YLP), Uganda Women Entrepreneurship Programme (UWEP) and other publicly funded initiatives.

The calls come amid strong anti-corruption remarks attributed to Hon. Dr. Balaam Barugahara Ateenyi, Minister for Local Government, who has warned that leaving public office should not prevent authorities from pursuing accountability and recovering public resources where wrongdoing is established.

For Zombo, the message from the community is more especially the youths simple: they want transparency, accountability and answers.

His consistent presence on the floor of the August House, active participation in debates, and engagement on issues of national importance have attracted attention from both parliamentary observers and constituents.


Within a relatively short period, Hon. Marshall has demonstrated a proactive approach to legislative business by contributing to parliamentary discussions, scrutinizing government policies, and raising matters affecting the people he represents. His energetic style has earned him recognition as a legislator committed to effective representation and accountable governance.


Political observers note that his early performance signals a determination to make a meaningful contribution to the work of the 12th Parliament. His interventions reflect an understanding of the constitutional role of Parliament in legislation, oversight, and representation, while reinforcing his commitment to ensuring that the concerns of his constituents remain part of the national agenda.

Richard Todwong: A Young Statesman at the Centre of Uganda's Constitutional Transformation

At the age of just 28, Richard Todwong was entrusted with one of the most significant national responsibilities of his generation when he was appointed to serve on the Constitutional Review Commission. His appointment marked the beginning of a distinguished journey in public service and positioned him among the young leaders contributing to a historic chapter in Uganda's constitutional and political development.


Serving on the Commission provided Todwong with the opportunity to participate in some of the country's most consequential constitutional and political deliberations. He was involved in national discussions that contributed to the reintroduction of multi-party politics in Uganda and took part in broader constitutional reform processes, including debates surrounding presidential term limits. These engagements placed him at the heart of critical decisions that continue to influence Uganda's governance and democratic trajectory.


The experience offered him invaluable exposure to the complexities of statecraft, public administration, and constitutional governance. It deepened his understanding of democratic institutions, decentralisation, political representation, and the importance of constitutionalism in fostering national stability and development.


Reflecting on this defining period of his career, Todwong has consistently emphasised that the experience transformed his understanding of leadership and public service. Rather than viewing politics solely as the pursuit of public office, he came to appreciate it as a powerful instrument for institutional development, policy innovation, and national transformation.

"I realised that politics was not merely about holding office. It was about building institutions, shaping ideas, and creating opportunities for people."

This philosophy has remained a guiding principle throughout his political career, reflecting his belief that sustainable national progress depends on strong institutions, visionary leadership, and a commitment to serving the public interest. His early contribution to Uganda's constitutional evolution stands as a testament to the important role that young leaders can play in shaping the future of a nation.
