Museveni Impressed by Busesa Demonstration Farm, Pledges Shs12m for More Cows

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has hailed Busesa Demonstration Farm in Buyanja East Constituency, Kibaale District, as an inspiring model for wealth creation and agricultural transformation.

The President, who was in the Bunyoro sub-region—specifically in Kagadi and Kibaale districts —on Saturday, September 20, 2025, to inspect ongoing wealth creation initiatives, toured the 1.5-acre demonstration farm owned by Mr Richard Lubega.

During a guided tour, Mr Lubega showcased a variety of integrated enterprises, including cattle rearing, piggery, rabbit keeping, and poultry production. The farm currently produces an impressive 75 trays of eggs per day from its poultry section.

Visibly impressed by the farm’s productivity, President Museveni pledged additional support to expand its livestock section.

“I’m impressed by what this man is doing at this farm. I can see he has one cow, so I’m giving him Shs12 million shillings to buy two more cows,” the President said.

The Busesa Demonstration Farm is part of the broader government effort to encourage Ugandans to adopt small-scale commercial farming models that can generate steady household income.

While in Kibaale, the President also visited the 4-acre model farm of State Minister for Transport, Hon. Fred Byamukama, and other exemplary farmers who have embraced wealth creation programs.

He later addressed a public rally at Nalweyo playground in Kakumiro district.

President Museveni was accompanied by Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Robinah Nabbanja, Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Hon. Matia Kasaija, Minister of State for Transport, Hon. Fred Byamukama, and NRM Vice Chairman for Western Region, Hon. Asiimwe Jonard, among other leaders.
