On my way to Kotido this morning, I passed by the home of the late Hon. Simon Peter Aleper in Napak District, the former NRM Vice Chairman for Karamoja who tragically died in a car accident in July this year. Honourable Aleper’s dedicated efforts have significantly elevated the Karamoja region to a critical level of development. With the success of the Parish Development Model (PDM), the establishment of skilling hubs, and ongoing industrialization, his life served as a beacon of inspiration for young people in Karamoja, as he utilized government programs in education to get out of poverty. He dedicated valuable years to mobilizing efforts for the transformation of his region, which is set to become a powerhouse soon. May his soul rest in peace.
