“Power should shift to younger people because they are creative, hardworking and bring fresh ideas and energy,” said Olupot Noah, a student from Karenge District, proposing the motion: “This House believes that younger people make better leaders than older people.” Noah argued that national development requires fresh thinking and the ability to turn ideas into practical solutions. He cited Burkina Faso under Captain Ibrahim Traoré as an example of what he believes young leadership can contribute to a country’s development. #YIGAproject #WeAreRestless

“Government should prioritise rural development and invest in agriculture to support fair and sustainable economic growth,” says Ogwang Evarista, a student from Abim District, speaking in support of the motion: “This House believes that the government should prioritise rural development over urban development.” He likened the choice to deciding which room needs attention first: one without a light bulb, or one with a leaking roof. #WeAreRestless

Today, young leaders from across Karamoja take the stage at Moroto District Council Hall for the first-ever Karamoja Regional Inter-School Debate Competition. They will exchange ideas on issues shaping their communities—from rural development and climate change to accountability and the leadership needed for the future. The debate gives students a platform to share their views, challenge one another’s thinking and take part in conversations about Karamoja’s future. Young people have a voice in shaping the decisions that affect their communities. #YIGAproject

Young people from all the nine districts of karamoja are coming together for the karamoja regional inter-school debate to learn, interact, gain civic competence and confidence that strengthens the roles that impact their future under the theme: “Youth Inclusion in Governance and decision making”. This is more than competition but exposure that builds experience in the journey of future leadership. Young people need a seat in governance and decision making spaces not a voice to present ideas. #YIGAproject #WeAreRestless
