“I can confidently confirm that families have gradually risen from poverty lines, hoping to see the whole of Rukiga declared a rich district soon, following the different initiatives brought by Dr. Sylvia Alinaitwe. This lady has proven to be a woman with her people at heart, which is why people love her,” said Moreen Kyarisiima.
