Hon Mary Emaase: Results Not Rhetoric

By John Kariuki

In a political landscape often dominated by noise and empty promises, Hon Mary Otucho Emaase, the Member of Parliament for Teso South, has built a solid reputation as a woman of few words but powerful action. Her leadership speaks not through rhetoric but through real, measurable results.

Hon Emaase engaged with residents of Oburi at Oburi Comprehensive School in Amukura East Ward during a vibrant public participation forum focused on community development and educational infrastructure. The gathering underscored her people-centered approach to leadership, one that prioritizes listening and responding directly to the needs of constituents.

Key priorities raised by the community included the construction of two new classrooms at Oburi Primary School, expansion of power supply throughout the area, road maintenance and upgrades to improve connectivity, and the completion and operationalization of Amukura Teachers Training College. Residents also stressed the importance of better school attendance monitoring and access to quality education for all children.

Concerns about service delivery gaps were candidly expressed, with calls for stronger coordination between local leaders and national government agencies. Hon Emaase responded with a firm commitment to ensuring that these concerns become actionable goals, not just items on a meeting agenda.

She emphasized that public participation is more than a requirement. It is the very foundation of accountable, inclusive governance. “It empowers citizens to shape their future and holds us as leaders accountable to their dreams,” she stated.

Throughout her term, Hon Mary Emaase has remained focused on transforming lives through practical initiatives. From building classrooms to lighting up homes and rehabilitating roads, her actions speak louder than any speech.

Her vision for Teso South is clear and compelling. A place where every child learns, every road opens a door of opportunity, and every family lives with dignity and hope.

In an era where political noise often overshadows substance, Hon Emaase stands out as a leader who listens, acts, and delivers.
