KAMPALA, UGANDA — As the world marked Mother’s Day, East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) aspirant Dr. Tendo Ronex Kisembo issued a heartfelt message celebrating mothers and reflecting on his own humble upbringing, while also thanking President Yoweri Museveni for uplifting women in leadership and economic empowerment.
In a statement shared under the theme of “comradeship greetings,” Dr. Tendo recalled the formative years he spent with his mother at Ben Kiwanuka Street (UTODA Office) and the New Taxi Park, where they sold newspapers, sweets, and envelopes.
He urged Ugandans never to forget their mothers, highlighting the suffering and care that mothers endure while raising their children.
Dr. Tendo specifically thanked women in leadership, including Speaker of Parliament Annet Anita Among, First Lady and Minister of Education Mama Janet Museveni, Prime Minister Robina Nabbanja, and Vice President (Rtd.) Major Jessica Alupo.
He also praised President Museveni for creating space for women in leadership and enabling their participation in socio-economic activities—all while acknowledging that his own mother is still alive.
Wishing the nation a reflective Mother’s Day, Dr. Tendo reminded all to honor and cherish their mothers every day, not just on the calendar.
