The Right Reverend Bishop Robert Muhirwa Akiiki of Fort Portal Diocese has issued a strong call to the Electoral Commission and the Ugandan government, urging transparency in the upcoming elections and immediate intervention to address the country’s growing youth unemployment crisis.
Delivering his Easter message at Virika Cathedral in Fort Portal, Bishop Muhirwa emphasized the importance of integrity and fairness in the electoral process. He warned against favoritism and underhanded tactics, asserting that every Ugandan deserves a level playing field at the ballot box.
“Let everything be done in broad daylight. The Electoral Commission must not support one party and sideline the rest. Every Ugandan deserves a fair and free election,” he said.
The bishop also condemned the use of political violence and voter intimidation, stressing the need for civic education over fear-based approaches.
“There should be no beatings, no scaring of people. Voter education should be the priority—not fear,” he added.
His message comes at a critical time as the country prepares for national elections amid growing concerns about electoral transparency, inclusivity, and peace.
Beyond the elections, Bishop Muhirwa drew attention to what he termed a national emergency: youth unemployment. He painted a stark picture of young Ugandans graduating into joblessness and called for systemic change.
“Our youth are graduating into joblessness. We must give them hope,” he said. “Let the government integrate practical skills training into the education system. Our youth must be job creators, not job seekers.”
He advocated for the expansion of vocational training and skilling programs in schools, recommending a curriculum that includes agribusiness, mechanics, digital skills, and entrepreneurship to better equip young people for the realities of the job market.
“We are at a crossroads. Let us choose peace, fairness, and empowerment over chaos and division,” Bishop Muhirwa concluded.
His message resonates far beyond the Fort Portal Diocese, echoing the concerns of civil society, youth leaders, and fellow religious figures who are calling on both the government and Electoral Commission to prioritize the public interest—especially that of Uganda’s youth—as the nation moves toward a decisive electoral period.
