THOSE FROM AMONG US…

Comrade youths, especially my fellow hustlers

From Yumbe to Kotido, Agago to Dokolo, Emmanuel to Mariam; all edges and persons within the reach of my declaration, I wish you a prosperous month of Lent and Ramathan. My name is Kidega Ogenrwot Moses, and I am exceedingly honored to make known to you my bid for the Northern Uganda Youth Member of Parliament seat 2026/31. On this journey, I am pleased to briefly share with you who I am, why I am running and our belief of possibility, for the ever enduring and resilient youth of the region. I was born in 1996 into an extended peasant family in Acoli, from whom I developed deep passion for community service. My father, a simple but devoted community organizer was a proponent for the return of “kuc” (peace) to the land. He was a regular donator of food items and firewood from our family garden, under his Akwano enterprises to the NRA soldiers, and mobilized wanainchi to do the same. In further pursuit of kuc, he rendered political support to Hon. Betty Bigombe in bazaar zone, ahead of her 1993 peace talks with the LRA fighters (lukwena) at Pagik in Gulu.

Standing With Stranded Students nationwide: On the Frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, when uncertainty gripped the nation and many students (both national and international) found themselves stranded, the 31st National Executive Council of the Uganda National Students Association (UNSA-NEC) rose to the occasion. I was honored to be part of the delegation that engaged national leaders to advocate for the welfare of students during these trying times.

We held a highly productive meeting with the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda, and Hon. Mary Karooro Okurut, then Minister in Charge of General Duties in the Office of the Prime Minister. Our discussions focused on the dire situation faced by thousands of students who had been left without access to basic necessities due to the nationwide lockdown.

Through our collective efforts, we were able to secure relief food and essential items for stranded students across the country. This was not just a policy achievement, it was a lifeline to many who had nowhere else to turn.
