Relief for Dokolo NRM as Otto Apili Donates Land for Party Office.

What the report says

Former Dokolo District LCV Chairperson and National Resistance Movement (NRM) flag bearer James Otto Apili has donated one acre of land to the ruling party in Dokolo District to support construction of a permanent district office. According to Dokolo Post, the land is in Awinyipany Cell, Central Ward, Dokolo Town Council, and was given at no cost.

Otto said he decided to make the donation after hearing concerns from party leaders who were looking for land for an office. He said he raised the idea with the party leadership, and after a survey and assessment, the site was approved as suitable for the planned construction. The report says the move is intended to give the district party a fixed base for its activities.

NRM Publicity Secretary and Bata Town Council councillor Raphael Okello welcomed the donation and said it would strengthen party operations in the district. He said the party had long functioned without a permanent office because of financial constraints that made land acquisition difficult. Okello also thanked Otto for what he described as a generous contribution.

The development matters because permanent local party offices can help with administration, organizing members and coordinating political work. The article also framed the donation as a sign of support for the party’s structure-building efforts in Dokolo District.
