Reclaiming Samia Bugwe Central: A Vision to Eradicate Poverty and Secure Our Future

By Ouma Patrick, Independent Candidate for Samia Bugwe Central MP


As we approach the 2026 general election, Samia Bugwe Central stands at a crossroads. Years of poor leadership have left poverty tightening its grip on our people, youth unemployment rising, and hope fading. This must change.


Will be  running as an independent candidate because our future cannot be left in the hands of party politics or leaders who have lost touch with the people. Our mission is clear: eradicate poverty, modernize agriculture, and empower our youth—especially tackling the alarming rise in school dropouts and teenage pregnancies.

1. Eradicating Poverty through Industrialization

Poverty is not our destiny—it is a problem we can solve. Failed projects like the stalled rural electrification program, which has left villages in darkness for over three years, are proof that our leaders have failed to deliver.


Our plan is to establish small-scale industries to process our local produce—maize milling, fish processing, fruit canning—right here in Samia Bugwe Central. These industries will create jobs for our youth and women, add value to our products, and boost household incomes. We will lobby for government-private partnerships to set up these facilities, provide affordable credit to local entrepreneurs, and connect them to regional markets.

2. Transforming Agriculture with Modern Methods

Agriculture is our backbone, but outdated practices keep our farmers trapped in poverty. We will champion modern farming—drought-resistant crops, high-quality seeds and fertilizers, irrigation systems to fight unpredictable weather, and farmer training cooperatives.

Our farmers deserve the tools to produce more, earn more, and feed the region. We will also push for better market access so our produce fetches fair prices.

3. Empowering Our Youth and Tackling Teenage Pregnancies


The future of Samia Bugwe Central is at risk. School dropouts and teenage pregnancies are robbing us of our next generation of leaders, professionals, and innovators.


We will establish vocational training centers in every sub-county, offering skills in carpentry, tailoring, mechanics, ICT,  agribusiness etc These will give school dropouts a second chance at success.


For teenage pregnancies, we will push for comprehensive reproductive health education in schools and communities, youth-friendly health centers, and mentorship programs that inspire young people to stay in school and pursue their dreams.

4. Restoring Trust and Accountability

Politics has been commercialized—leaders chasing salaries, not service. Allegations of electoral irregularities in recent primaries prove the system is broken.

As an independent, I answer only to the people, not a political party. We will ensure all development projects—from electrification to school improvements—are completed, not abandoned. I will maintain open dialogue with constituents so your voice guides every decision.

The Choice Before Us

In 2021, you proved the power of your vote. But this time, we need more than change—we need transformation. Together, we can build a Samia Bugwe Central where poverty is history, agriculture is modern, our youth are empowered, and every resident has a fair chance to succeed.

The power is in your hands. Let us reclaim Samia Bugwe Central from the failures of the past and restore its pride.

Beyond Regime Change: Why Africa Needs a Mindset Revolution

  OPINION: Africa Must Move Beyond Regime Change Politics By Ouma Patrick, Aspiring Member of Parliament – Samia Bugwe Central Crown Media East Africa For decades, African politics has been trapped in a single, loud narrative: regime change. Citizens are told that their problems — poverty, unemployment, corruption, weak services — will magically disappear once a new group of leaders replaces the old. But Africa’s experience shows a harsher truth: regime change alone does not deliver transformation. Across the continent, opposition leaders gain popularity by condemning the failures of sitting governments. Yet once some of them enter the same systems they criticized — appointed to high offices, given access to state resources, or absorbed into government structures — they often become part of the elite they once fought. Their lives change; the lives of ordinary citizens do not. This political cycle has produced a troubling dependency mindset. Citizens have been conditioned to wait fo...

The Philosophy of Power: Rethinking Uganda’s 2026 Elections

  By Ouma Patrick Aspiring Member of Parliament, Samia Bugwe Central For Crown Media East Africa As Uganda approaches the 2026 general elections, the nation once again stands at a crossroads—one familiar yet never identical to those before it. Politics in our land has never been a mere contest of ballots; it has always been a test of consciousness, a reflection of who we are, what we value, and what future we dare to imagine. To understand 2026, we must rise beyond the noise of rallies and slogans and interrogate the deeper forces shaping our democracy. 1. The Illusion of Choice vs. the Reality of Power Elections often present themselves as moments of choice. Yet in countries where state machinery heavily influences the electoral landscape, the ballot becomes less of a decision and more of a ritual. Uganda’s political terrain has long been defined by a central paradox: citizens are told they have power, yet the architecture of power often operates beyond their reach. Philosophers r...
