Kole, Uganda – Hon. Judith Alyek, Woman MP for Kole District, has urged the people of Lango to embrace the spirit of love and compassion during this Christmas season.
“Christmas is not just about celebration but about showing love and care to those in need,” Alyek said.
She highlighted the importance of reaching out to the disabled, elderly, and other vulnerable groups who may struggle to provide for themselves.
Alyek appealed to well-off families to remember those less fortunate.
“Let us not forget the blind, the lame, and others who may feel left out during this season. Sharing with them brings the true meaning of Christmas to life,” she emphasized.
However, the MP also sounded a cautionary note on financial discipline during the festivities.
She reminded families to prepare for the upcoming school term, urging parents to set aside funds for school fees and other necessities.
“Too often, people spend recklessly during Christmas and struggle when the new year begins. Let’s celebrate within our means and ensure our children’s education remains a priority,” she said.
Hon. Alyek also called for peaceful celebrations, urging families and communities to foster harmony and unity.
“Christmas is a time to heal and strengthen bonds. Let us avoid conflicts and create a joyful atmosphere for all,” she added.
The MP’s message resonates deeply with the Lango community, where traditional values of togetherness and generosity are cherished.
Her call to balance celebration with responsibility serves as a vital reminder to make the season meaningful for all.
