Isingiro — Hon. Balaam officially launched the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) offices for Isingiro District.
It was not just the opening of an office. It was a statement: PLU is here, PLU is organized, and PLU is ready to work for the people.
The office was built and sponsored by Deus Rwamirama, son of Hon. Bright Rwamirama.
Hon. Balaam told the crowd that this is what true patriotism looks like — not just talking, but building. A young man who could have built for himself alone, chose instead to build a home for the movement in his own district, so that the people of Isingiro can have a place to meet, plan, and serve.
“This office belongs to you,” Hon. Balaam said. “It is not for one person. It is for every patriot in Isingiro who loves Uganda and wants to see Uganda move forward.”
For PLU members in Isingiro, the launch was a dream come true. For a long time, they had been meeting in open grounds, in trading centres, under trees and in borrowed halls. Now they have their own home.
Hon. Balaam was joined by a strong team of leaders who came to stand with Isingiro:
- Hon. Bright Rwamirama
- Hon. Kangwagye
- Lt. Byanyima Nathan
- Dr. Makumbi Imam
- And other PLU members and leaders from across Ankole
Hon. Balaam told the people that the PLU office is not for politics of division, abuse or noise. It is for:
- Patriotism — loving Uganda above tribe, above religion, above personal interest
- Service — fighting corruption, fighting poverty, and ensuring government services reach the people
- Unity — bringing together the youth, women, elders and leaders of Isingiro to work as one family
- Discipline — building a new generation of leaders who are clean, hardworking and accountable
He reminded the crowd that the same team that has been moving across Uganda — exposing ghost workers, stalled projects, stolen funds and corrupt officials — is the same team building PLU. The fight against corruption and the building of PLU are one fight: a fight for a clean, strong and prosperous Uganda.
From Rwentango to Kabingo, from Kikagate to Bukanga, from Mbaare to Rugaaga — the message was the same: Isingiro is now organized, Isingiro is now connected, and Isingiro is now ready.
The PLU offices in Isingiro will now serve as a centre for mobilization, for civic education, for receiving people’s complaints about corruption and poor service delivery, and for coordinating development ideas from the grassroots to the top.
PLU is here to stay — and in Isingiro, it has come home.
