CGP Commends Uganda Prisons Service's Agricultural Initiative during Working Tour.

In a proactive move towards enhancing food security and transforming the lives of inmates, the Commissioner General of Prisons, Can. Dr. Johnson Omuhunde Rwashote Byabashaija, recently undertook a working tour to the Uganda Prison Farm Odina in Soroti District.

Accompanied by a delegation of top and management officers, including Mr. Wilson Magomu, SCP (Deputy Director Estates and Engineering); Mr. Stephen Lugonda, CP (Staff Administration and Counseling); Mr. Kenneth Mugabirwe, CP (General Administration and Welfare of Staff); Mr. Simon Wansadha, CP (Safety and Security Operations); Mr. Jacob Kivumbi, CP (Custodial Services); and Mr. Ronald Kalali, ACP (RPC - Mid Eastern), the CGP meticulously inspected the sunflower plantation farm allocated to the Uganda Prisons Service.

The sunflower plantation, a result of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni's directive under the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry, and Fisheries, forms a crucial part of the Food Security intervention program. The CGP expressed his satisfaction with the abundant harvest, aligning the Uganda Prisons Service's contribution to Uganda's food security strategy.
