As the saying goes, work without play makes Jerry a very dull boy!, Our ever-busy Vice President Maj. Jessica Alupo yesterday temporarily paused on her tight schedule and revealed her other side of life as she showcased her talent in footballing.
Clad in a red jersey with a yellow T-shirt inside bearing Gen. Yoweri Museveni’s portrait, the lady from Aketa (Katakwi district) didn’t disappoint spectators as she played, kicked, and of course scored a very serious goal that can only be rivaled by Argentina’s Diego Maradona.
The bootilicious No.2 of the country, easily cruised from her goal side, dodging other players with the ball until she reached the helpless goalkeeper of the opposite side and scored her gingatic goal leaving everyone in wild cheers!
This was last evening as Very Very Important Persons in the land led by an extremely jolly Alupo participated in a curtain raiser match before the Alupo Cup 2024 finals were played.
This most popular tournament in Katakwi district where Alupo is the woman legislator is baptized as ALUPO CUP and is proudly sponsored by our very resourceful Second-in-Command Maj. Alupo!
Among the VVIPs who displayed their skill with our dear VP, included ministers Akello Rose Lilly, and Asamo Christine Hellen together with a line of other cream de la cream in the land.
The uniqueness of yesterday’s tournament was in its duo purpose! Whereas some simply organize such tourneys for personal interests alone, the Alupo tournament impacted the health of the people.
We swear this Alupo tournament 2024 held at Apuuton Primary School impacted positively on the health sector in Katakwi district and beyond.
By the close of the game, 120 units of blood were collected during the match by the blood bank health team, 400 people underwent H.I.V. counseling and testing and 640 children were dewormed.
