The Head of State is particularly happy to note that a secret team he recently deployed to probe into the socioeconomic affairs of this subregion also recommended that the people of Teso need to go into dairy farming, which he said is profitable. 

Museveni advised that these Emorimori subjects need to start cross breeding their local cows with jersey cattle since the Friesian cows cannot stand the weather in the sub-region. 

He also guided that for household income to increase, the people of Teso need to diversify their farming activities and also start rearing poultry as this can favour those with small land holding. 

“The President also advised on fish farming as a good example of an enterprising project. He noted that digging fishponds may be expensive for farmers, but the government can help dig the ponds for them” says Faruk Kirunda, the deputy president’s press secretary.

He said the General from Rwakitura, was also happy with the report finding that fruits used in Teju Fruit Factory are the right ones, contrary to earlier allegations that the fruits supplied to the factory were being imported. 

This was during a follow up meeting yesterday at State House-Entebbe between Gen. Museveni and a team of leaders from Teso subregion led by Calvin Echodu, the NRM flag bearer for Soroti West.

The first meeting according to Kirunda was held on December 22 2023 wherein, Jjajja Museveni tasked the leaders to brief him on how much income each household earns in Teso; The average land holding in the sub-region; What enterprise can be done on the available land and how the government can help the area locals.

“He also asked the leaders to address his three additional questions which included; What is the problem with the Fruit Factory in Soroti? How can these problems be solved? and then the amount of grazing land in the subregion” Kirunda explained adding that during the meeting, the President received a report from Echodu about the challenges faced by Teso.

Echodu commended Museveni for giving them an opportunity to once again interact with him, following their first interaction in December when he gave them some assignments to carry out and then report back to him after conducting some research in Teso.

“Your Excellency, when we left here, we constituted a committee to do research in all the districts of Teso and came up with this report.” says Augustine Otuko, the Private Secretary to H.E the President in charge of Political Affairs, adding that the objective of the report was to establish the possible solutions for the questions that he raised. He told the president that the approach and methodology they used involved consultations.

The meeting was also attended by the Minister of State for Energy, Hon. Sidronius Okaasai Opolot among others.
