Preparations for Christmas, which falls on December 25, continue to take shape.
From government institutions such as the Uganda Police Force to religious and political leaders, messages of vigilance, responsibility, and “merry Christmas” have begun to emerge.
“As we near the end of 2024, it is with great pleasure that I extend heartfelt wishes and warm greetings to the people of Dokolo and the entire nation,” Dokolo district woman MP Shara Aguti Nyangkori says.
Aguti emphasized that Christmas is a time to remember the “humble, symbolic, and divine birth of Jesus Christ. It is also an opportunity to contemplate his teachings of hope, compassion, salvation, reconciliation, forgiveness, and peace.”
In an interview with tndNews, MP Aguti stated that the joyful sounds of hymns, the exchange of gifts, and the sharing of best wishes during this holiday season inspire us to cultivate a society in which all people are treated with equality, virtue, and dignity.
“Let us, who are fortunate enough to witness its arrival, express our gratitude to the Almighty for the numerous blessings we have received as a community,” she stated about the New Year.
“The New Year serves as a moment for reflection, allowing us to assess our achievements and recognize the tasks that remain unfinished. In retrospect, we can affirm that 2024 has been a significant year for the people of Dokolo district.
“As a Parliament, we acknowledge the various challenges we faced in fulfilling our core responsibilities over the past year. We are deeply appreciative of the steadfast dedication and commitment demonstrated by all Honorable Members and Staff in ensuring our success as the Community Parliament.”
She also mentioned that the New Year is a time for making resolutions and setting goals for the future.
“As we consider 2025 and the years that follow, the Parliament is resolute in its commitment to advancing representative democracy by embracing diverse perspectives and ensuring the active participation of the people of Dokolo district in the integration process, while upholding the principles of the rule of law and good governance.
“We commit to ensuring that our Institution remains steadfast in its dedication to providing essential support in the realms of peacekeeping and mediation, economic development, and the free movement of people, among other critical areas.”
Our Lango sub-region is full of potential, according to the UPC MP, and our resilient people have the capacity to overcome the obstacles we face and turn it into what it was intended to be.
“It is an honor for me to serve in the leadership of our sub-region during this transformative period.
“I seek divine guidance as we lead the Parliament towards peace, reconciliation, and a representative democracy. I also extend my warmest wishes to all citizens and residents within our borders for a joyful holiday season and a prosperous 2024. May the New Year bring good health, happiness, and success to all,” she concluded.
