Dr. Hilary Bakamwesiga Mbona, the aspiring Member of Parliament for Ndorwa West, yesterday 29 December, 2024 urged youth to engage in sports activities to enhance their physical fitness and foster unity within their communities.
He made this call during a friendly football match between youth from Katenga, Kampala, and those from Katenga Parish, which took place at the Katenga Primary School Playground in Kamuganguzi Subcounty, Ndorwa West.
Speaking with our reporters shortly after the match, Dr. Hilary emphasized that sports play a crucial role in personal development and community cohesion. He noted that youth involvement in sports provides an opportunity to engage in productive activities, helping them grow both individually and as members of a wider community.
“As we look to empower our youth, sports provide the perfect platform for them to develop discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills,” Dr. Hilary said. “Such activities are critical in ensuring the well-being and unity of our communities.”
Dr. Hilary also announced plans to launch a football tournament across all subcounties in Ndorwa West next year, aiming to give local youth more opportunities to showcase their talents and stay physically active. He expressed his gratitude to the people of Ndorwa West for their strong turnout and support at the match, commending both players and spectators for their exemplary discipline throughout the event.

“We are grateful to Dr. Hilary for facilitating this match,” Owamazima said. “This event has helped us engage with our friends from Katenga, and we look forward to inviting the Katenga youth to Kampala for another match.

Niwagamba Nicolus, the captain of the Katenga Parish team, expressed his appreciation for the event, noting that sports play a significant role in talent development. He pointed out that while many talented youth are eager to pursue sports, they often lack the financial resources to nurture their skills. Nicolus also thanked the people of Katenga for their enthusiastic support of the match.
“We have many talented young people here in Katenga, and events like this help them develop their skills,” Nicolus said. “We hope that, with continued support, we can create more opportunities for our youth to excel.”
The match was sponsored by Dr. Hilary Bakamwesiga Mbona, who provided new uniforms for the players and all the necessary facilitation for a successful and enjoyable event. His commitment to supporting youth sports in Ndorwa West reflects his ongoing efforts to invest in the region’s future.
Dr. Hilary’s initiative is seen as a significant step toward promoting physical fitness, unity, and talent development among the youth in Ndorwa West, and it aligns with his broader vision of empowering the community through sports and education.
As the aspiring MP for Ndorwa West, Dr. Hilary has pledged to continue supporting youth development and sports initiatives in the region. His upcoming football tournament next year is expected to be a major event, further uniting the people of Ndorwa West through the power of sports.
