General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Chairman of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), has named Hon. Jacqueline Amongin as the Women’s Council Representative for the Teso sub-region. The announcement was confirmed in a letter dated December 17th, signed by PLU Secretary General David Kabanda, which outlined a list of seven leaders appointed to represent the region.
The newly appointed team for Teso Sub-region includes:
Peter Ogwang: Coordinator
Hon. Aeku Patrick: Assistant Coordinator
Mr. Elimu Richard: Committee Secretary
Mrs. Akol Zipora: Publicity Secretary
Hon. Jacqueline Amongin: Women’s Council Representative
Mr. Okwi Micheal Opepo: Elderly Council Representative
Ms. Amulo Emily Sheila: Youth Council Representative
Ojaman Simon Peter: PWD Council Representative
The appointees have been entrusted with mobilizing citizens, fighting corruption, and addressing the misuse of public resources. Additionally, they are expected to spearhead efforts aimed at fostering socio-economic development and driving transformation within the Teso sub-region.
Following the announcement, Hon. Amongin expressed her appreciation in a statement on social media. “I am humbled and honored by the trust placed in me by our Chairman, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba. I am ready to serve and contribute to the development of our beloved Teso region,” she said.
The Teso Sub-region, which includes districts like Soroti, Kumi, and Katakwi, has faced significant challenges, particularly in areas such as infrastructure, education, and economic development. The PLU leadership team is expected to engage communities and stakeholders to create strategies that align with the government’s Vision 2040 development plan.
This appointment is part of the PLU’s broader initiative to strengthen its presence across Uganda by forming leadership teams in various regions. These structures are aimed at promoting good governance, accountability, and patriotism.
While the PLU’s potential participation in Uganda’s 2026 elections remains uncertain, the organization has been positioning itself as a major advocate for addressing pressing issues such as poverty and corruption. Its leadership has emphasized the importance of close collaboration with local communities to ensure effective service delivery and national progress.
