Student Pledges to Be Voice for Kabale&#8217;s Youth in District Council"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>KABALE, UGANDA<\/strong> &#8211; A fresh voice has entered the political arena of Kabale District, with a 24-year-old university student pledging to become a fierce advocate for the area&#8217;s youth, focusing squarely on the issue of mismanaged government funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Justine Kobusingye, a second-year Bachelor of Business Administration student at King Ceasor International University, is one of two candidates vying for the Kabale District Female Youth Councilor seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contesting as an independent candidate, Justine&#8217;s direct opponent is the incumbent councilor, Natasha Namara Ellen, who is also seeking re-election on an independent ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking at a press conference in Kabale town this week, Kobusingye declared her mission is to be the youth&#8217;s voice in the district council, championing increased funding for what she called severely neglected youth structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She went further, directly addressing the elephant in the room: the widespread perception that youth funds are being siphoned off before they can make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have recently learned that government releases a lot of funds for the youth, but only a small fraction reaches them because it ends up in the wrong hands, and there\u2019s no one to speak out about it,\u201d Kobusingye stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She vowed to ensure that resources from programs like Emyooga, the Youth Livelihood Programme (YLP), and the Parish Development Model finally reach their intended youth beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She has positioned her campaign to focus on the financial pipelines, arguing that proper funding is the bedrock of youth development and the district&#8217;s future prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kobusingye&#8217;s current role as Kabale Municipality National Youth Council Secretary for Female Affairs has given her a front-row seat to the systemic failures in channeling resources to the youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The upcoming election is now a referendum on whether her blend of grassroots experience and business acumen makes her the right candidate to audit these critical funds and finally deliver on their promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KABALE, UGANDA &#8211; A fresh voice has entered the political
