BUSHENYI, UGANDA — Youth leaders from Bushenyi District visited BFM Radio over the weekend to mobilise and sensitise the public about the forthcoming Bushenyi District Youth Day scheduled for 7th November 2026 at Bushenyi Municipal Council grounds.
The Youth Day will be graced by Twaha Fadil, Secretary General of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), who will be the Chief Guest.
The delegation to BFM Radio was led by Hon. Andrew Muhereza, Youth Councillor for Bushenyi-Ishaka Municipality, together with Hon. Racheal, in charge of Female Affairs on the Bushenyi District Youth Council Executive.
During the radio programme, the leaders highlighted the importance of youth participation in community development and called upon young people across the district to actively participate in the upcoming Youth Day.
The leaders also reflected on the launch of the Bushenyi District Youth Day, which was held on Friday 25th September 2026 at Bushenyi Primary School Ruhandagazi Centre for Learners with Disabilities.
The launch was attended by youth leaders led by Hon. Atwiine Bruce, Youth Chairperson of Bushenyi District, and Rt. Hon. Martin Arinaitwe Zave, Deputy Speaker, among other youth leaders and executive members.
During the launch, the youth donated several items to the school. The leaders described the support as valuable and impactful to the learners, demonstrating the commitment of the youth leadership to supporting vulnerable members of the community.
The youth leaders thanked the school administration and all those who participated in the launch, noting that such initiatives strengthen the relationship between youth leadership and communities.
The Head Teacher, Ms. Arinaitwe Silvia, who also appeared on the radio talk show, expressed appreciation to the youth for remembering the learners and extending support to the school.
She appealed for additional support from companies, well-wishers, organisations and political leaders in several areas including lightning arrestors, renovation of school buildings, levelling of the school compound, construction and improvement of staff quarters, establishment of a boys’ dormitory, food donations, computers, a skilling centre, signposts and renovation of the school gate, among other needs.
Ms. Arinaitwe said continued support from well-wishers, leaders and development partners would contribute to creating a better learning environment for the children.
The Bushenyi Primary School Public Relations Officer, Mr. Bainomugisha Godfrey, urged the youth to be creative and innovative, embrace digital skills and plant trees to protect the environment and ecosystem.
The delegation was also accompanied by Mr. Kamugisha Joseph, who advised young people to avoid behaviours that can negatively affect their lives and communities, including alcohol abuse, drug use, violence, stealing and indecent dressing.
The BFM Radio programme, “Ekyanga Kyawee”, was hosted by the Queen of Vibes, Ms. Bashemera Charity, and attracted several guests, including a former Youth Councillor of Kizinda Town Council.
The programme provided an opportunity for the youth leaders to explain their activities, highlight the needs of young people and encourage the community to support the upcoming Bushenyi District Youth Day.
The Ekyanga Kyawee programme on 92.2 BFM Radio is a Saturday talk show proudly sponsored by Hon. Annet Katusiime Mugisha, Woman Member of Parliament for Bushenyi District, Dr. Silver Mugisha, Managing Director of National Water and Sewerage Corporation, and the Directors of Bamugisha Community Welfare Foundation.
The youth leadership called upon young people, parents, leaders, organisations and other stakeholders to support and participate in the Bushenyi District Youth Day on 7th November 2026, which is expected to provide a platform for youth engagement, networking and discussion of issues affecting young people in the district.
