The area Member of Parliament for Rwampara East, Julius Tusiime Karuhanga has appealed to leaders especially from Rwampara District to unite and champion sports activities that unify their electorates.

Tusiime appealed to all leaders that sports is key in strengthening Unity, talent and livelihood promotion.

“I also believe that we are on trajectory to strengthen Unity and diversity here in Rwampara. These avenues can give us a leverage and cornerstone to strengthen that,” said Tusiime.

Observers say it is because of disunity that Rwampara leaders that the District football team performed poorly in the ongoing Ankore Districts tournament. The team did not even qualify for the quarter finals.
