Hon. Margret said we have met youth groups and leaders in
meetings on Youth Livelihood Programs in Rutete and Rwaihamba sub counties so
that we can empower them with  materials
especially  those that are taking part in
agriculture sector, we have empowered
them with skills & supported them with  watering cans , insect sides, seeds and other
support of the kind  which can help them be
stable to increase their incomes. Through my lobbying, the office of the prime
minister has supported with materials and has pledged to support further with
tools aimed at improving youth income especially to rural poor youth.

Margret said as a way of creating employment for the youth,
we have tried to extend electricity services in places like Mituli, Rurama and
Kamigana by putting transformers which can support high population in those
villages so that they can help in extension and connections of electricity services
in the area to help youth startup small business such as putting in place
saloons, wielding, etc.

For the cross-cutting sectors like works, we are working as
a team with local leaders to improve the road sector and as we talk we sent a
letter to the Uganda national roads authority (UNRA) executive director Allen
Kagina and she has offered us tractors to improve our road network in Bukuuku,
Kazingo & Mugusu Sub counties which actually some are under construction as
we talk now. 
‘’ I have lobbied for an ambulance for Bukuuku health center IV which
should be received before the end of this month to ease transportation of
patients from hard to reach places in the constituency to attain health
services’’
, said Hon. Magret  Muhanga.
While sharing her plans for the coming year Hon. Margret
Muhanga  pledged to lobby for  improved health services such as improving on
the drug stock outs, absenteeism of health workers, supervision of health
workers & schools, increased health 
equipments for use in health centers, ambulances, etc.  I will follow up the pledges for the health centers
from our friends in Canada and Sweden of machines, admission beds & other
materials which I believe once received will improve the situation in the
health sector. Hon. Margret pledged to lobby for the construction of roads in
Kazingo parish to easy transportation of farmers’ products especially those
earning a living from the agricultural sector.
