OYAM, UGANDA – Oyam South Parliamentary Aspirant, Queen Dorothy Amolo, has issued a strong challenge to the people of Loro Sub-County, urging them to hold their current leaders directly accountable for the deplorable state of roads that are crippling communities.
The aspirant made the call during a series of five energetic campaign rallies held across Loro Sub-County on November 11, 2025.She placed the blame squarely on the shoulders of the incumbent Members of Parliament and the District Chairperson, who she noted are key members of the District Road Committee.
“The people currently in leadership are the very ones sitting on the District Road Committee. They must be tasked to explain to you, the people of Loro, why our roads have been left to rot,” Amolo declared to cheering crowds. “They have a duty to either give a clear account of their inaction or work on these roads immediately. Do not vote them back without seeing results.”
Her message resonated deeply with voters from Opelere and Omolo parishes, who have been lamenting their near-complete isolation. The communities reported being cut off due to the impassable state of the roads, particularly those crossing the Nora and Oyango swamps. This has created a crisis, preventing residents from accessing vital services like healthcare facilities and markets.
“Our mothers and fathers are suffering. They cannot cross the swamps to get to the hospital or to sell their produce. This is not just an inconvenience; it is a denial of basic rights and a sign of failed leadership,” Amolo stated.
Rallying the electorate, the aspirant emphasized the critical importance of electing a vocal and assertive representative to Parliament.
“Parliament is the place where the issues of the people must be spoken loudly and clearly,” she argued. “If you send someone who cannot speak, who remains silent, it will not help you—even if that person has money. We need a voice, not a mute.”
Queen Dorothy Amolo concluded her appeal by asking the voters for a mandate, promising to be that strong voice in Parliament who will relentlessly demand accountability from local government leaders.
“Give me the chance to lead you in Parliament, and I will ensure that every leader at the local government is held accountable for the development and the money sent for the development of Oyam District. Together, we can end this era of neglect and bring the change we deserve.”
