Former Dokolo District LCV Chairperson and NRM party flag bearer, James Otto Apili, has donated one acre of land to the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Party in Dokolo District to facilitate the construction of the party’s district office.
The land, which was donated at no cost, is located in Awinyipany Cell, Central Ward, Dokolo Town Council.
Speaking to our reporter in an interview yesterday, Otto said he was prompted to make the donation after receiving concerns from party leaders who had approached them seeking land on which to establish a permanent party office.
He explained that he considered it worthwhile to offer the land to the party, after which he shared the proposal with the party leadership. Following a survey and assessment of the proposed site, the leaders approved it as suitable for the construction of the office.
Meanwhile, NRM Publicity Secretary and District Councillor representing Bata Town Council, Hon. Raphael Okello, welcomed the donation, describing it as a significant contribution towards strengthening the party’s operations in the district.
Okello expressed gratitude to Otto Apili for his generosity, noting that the party had for a long time been operating without a permanent office due to financial constraints that made it difficult to acquire land for construction.
He further revealed that the support from the NRM Party Secretariat had enabled the district leadership to pursue the acquisition of land, adding that they were grateful that Otto had stepped forward to offer the land freely.
Okello also called upon NRM members in the district to remain united, committed and supportive of the party as they work towards strengthening its structures and activities.
