Government is set to account to the public reporting the progress that has been made in implementing the NRM Manifesto which was fronted by the ruling party in the 2016 general elections.

In line with this objective, the Prime Minister, Dr Ruhakana Rugunda has launched the Manifesto Week set to commence next week Monday to showcase the achievements made so far as well as the challenges. Dr Rugunda launched the events on Friday at a news conference held at Uganda Media Centre.

He explained that through the Manifesto in 2016, the government entered a social contract with the people of Uganda “to take the country to modernity through job creation and inclusive development” and that this is what is being worked on.

The NRM Manifesto is anchored in Vision 2040 and the 2nd National Development Plan. It commits to deliver Ugandans into middle income status and to ensure sustainable development.

“We are therefore using this Manifesto Week to take stock of what has been achieved so far, the challenges that we have encountered, the steps being undertaken to address those challenges, and the roadmap to accomplish the remaining tasks,” the Prime Minister said.

In the course of next week, different sector Ministers will be using the Uganda Media Centre to communicate to the public about what is happening in their dockets in line with the Manifesto.

Rugunda said that implementation of the Manifesto commitments to date is at 38.2%.

“Our projections are that the momentum of implementation is going to more than double, such that by the end of the next two years, we shall be well over 80%” he said.

He highlighted cross cutting projects that the government has so far undertaken to transform the economy and modernize the country.

Notable among them were those in the oil and gas as well as the energy sector.

The Prime Minister alluded to the signing of a construction agreement for an oil refinery worth USD 4 billion with a capacity of over 50,000 barrels per day. This he said is a significant step in achieving the target of getting the first oil by 2020.

“The coming in of oil revenues into our financial streams will provide the much needed stabilisation of the economy and generating funds to build other forms of critical infrastructure,” he said.

He also noted the progress the constriction of the 600MW Karuma (600 MW) and Karuma (183 MW) hydro power projects which stand at 74% and 79% stages respectively.
