Nandala Mafabi promises better roads, interest free boda boda loans to Buyende residents


Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) presidential candidate Nathan Nandala Mafabi on Thursday took his campaign trail to Buyende District, where he pledged to prioritize road construction and improved service delivery if elected in 2026.

Addressing supporters at Bukungu landing site on the shores of Lake Kyoga, Mafabi said his government would protect fishing communities and guarantee them free access to the lake.

“Just as God gave the Bagisu fertile soils to grow coffee, He gave you this lake as a source of survival. You must carry out your activities freely,” Mafabi told residents.

The FDC flag bearer also promised interest-free loans for boda boda riders, saying this would “end the exploitation” of the transport community.

In Kidera Subcounty, FDC party president Patrick Oboi Amuriat rallied voters to support Mafabi, announcing that every village under an FDC government would receive shs100 million to boost household incomes.

Mafabi urged Buyende residents to back his candidacy.

“Please give me your votes so that I can deliver all that we have planned. Everything in our manifesto is possible—we only need your mandate.”

Nandala Mafabi is today, Friday, heading to Jinja City for his fifth day of campaigns.

Britania Allied Industries has officially launched its latest product, Britania Cream Biscuits, a fun, flavour-packed snack designed to delight Uganda’s youth and the young at heart.

The unveiling took place ahead of a youth-focused engagement event set for October 3, 2025, held in partnership with Asinatha Foundation’s Elevate 360 program. During the pre-launch activities, over 500 students were among the first to enjoy the new Sooo Creamy-Licious biscuits.

“At Britania, we don’t just make products — we make moments. Britania Cream Biscuits represent joy, creativity, and the spirit of today’s youth,” said Mr. Ali Yousef Ebraik, CEO of Britania Allied Industries. “We’re proud to introduce them first to young leaders who represent the future of this nation.”

While the event spotlighted the new snack, it also reaffirmed Britania’s ongoing commitment to youth empowerment. Through the Elevate 360 Program, the company supports initiatives in education, environmental responsibility, and entrepreneurship.

“The Elevate 360 platform is an ideal space to celebrate innovation and ambition among young people,” said Mr. Timothy Bhatia, Marketing Manager at Britania. “We’re proud of our role in nurturing talent that is future-ready.”

Britania’s launch strategy positions its new cream biscuits as more than just a product — but part of a wider engagement with youth-centered development in Uganda.
