Bunyala West has chosen to rally on love- Obukheri

About four months ago, a group of young people from Bunyala West ward, Budalangi constituency, launched a campaign to change the face and shape of the area as we knew it. An initial 26 member group rallying under the banner of #MakeWestBest forged a united front to, in their own words, turn the tide for an administrative ward that strategically sits between Lake Victoria and River Nzoia but which unfortunately, doesn't enjoy the benefit of these resourceful water bodies, notwithstanding the sandwiching.

The socio democratic campaign is founded on the premise of making life better for the residents of Bunyala West who are fisher folks by inherent reasons of geographical location, sitting adjacently to Sigulu Island in Uganda. Four Months have provided a critical blackboard to learn and interact with our people; to understand the issues that afflict them from day to day which the #MakeWestBest seeks to use socio political instruments to address. These young people's regiment, growing steadily has interacted with challenges that must be confronted by the ward leadership if indeed Bunyala West is to be best.
