He urged other leaders to emulate her good and exemplary deeds to attain regional development.
“I want to thank the Rt Hon. Anita Among who developed this Stadium and at a reasonable cost and quickly. You [Among] should serve as an example to others so that they can develop stadiums in other parts of the country,” Museveni said.

Speaker Among’s philanthropy has seen Bukedea District rise from ruins of socio-economic scarcity to a model district with functional health, education and community development systems.
