While addressing press, Martin Ochieng recognized the essence of media in relaying information geared towards transforming the society especially this year’s cause of saving lives of babies.

He stressed that many times media practitioners have been left out in such arragements yet they are pivotal in impacting the society through information. ‘It is against this background that we decided to partner with them today in this cause’.

“Young people are tomorrow’s generation so keeping them health and in a right way should be everyone’s responsibility”. Mr. Ochieng.

As a real estate developer and environment mindful person, he called on parents/Ugandans to preserve the environment by planting trees around their homes and build structures according to proper plan from the authority in order to have them live for generations.

Kabuye Ronald the Public Relations Officer of Uganda Journalists Association expressed that the partnership they’ve had today links to the modern time agenda of journalism which is ‘solution–oriented journalism’

He lauded Ebenezer Real estates for recognizing what journalism can do in transforming society adding that they/journalists will stand with Uganda’s population to have this cause a success.
