"This win is for Uganda and every woman proving we can excel in all arenas. I am proud to represent my country and inspire others to pursue greatness," she remarked.
The excitement continued with Uganda’s Hon. Julius Achon emerging victorious in the challenging 150-meter race. Renowned for his endurance and skill, Achon demonstrated why he remains a formidable force in long-distance running.
Meanwhile, Hon. Ssekitoleko, MP for Bamunakika County in Luweero, claimed the title in the 1500-meter race for the men’s parliamentary staff category.
