Peasants hope to be the biggest beneficiaries if Stephen Mubiru emerge winner of Kamuli LC5 chairperson seat.
The NRM candidate has promised to transform their lives by supporting them in agriculture.

Addressing several rallies on Friday, Mubiru said a group of farmers in The Netherlands had offered him second-hand tractors, which he will give to the peasants.
He said transport difficulties were hampering the relocation of the equipment to Uganda.
Mubiru insisted that the project was not as a result of the elections. "The vision of transforming the peasant community in Kamuli district is an idea that I have had way back before I joined politics."
He promised to educate farmers on modern farming skills which he attained during a visit to The Netherlands.
"Until the peasant community is helped to acquire modern farming equipment, fighting poverty among them remains a myth because yields they get can only sustain food demands in their households and sometimes it's not even enough," asserted Mubiru.
