President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni met and discussed a wide range of developmental issues with the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Buganda Parliamentary Caucus at State House, Entebbe.
During the meeting, President Museveni guided the caucus on a number of issues on service delivery and development in Buganda and across the country.
“You, the new leaders, need to defend the legitimate interests of the people of Uganda and Buganda because Buganda is the major beneficiary of the NRM revolution, and anybody who does not see that is an enemy of Buganda,” he said.
The President noted that because of the peace brought by the NRM government, a lot of development, including good roads, industries, among others, has been achieved in Buganda and Uganda in general.
President Museveni also thanked NRM MPs from the Buganda region for the good work of sensitising the masses and monitoring government programs.
President Museveni, therefore, tasked the leaders to now put their main focus on the homestead income of Ugandans.
“Strategically, Buganda is the direct beneficiary of NRM so if all the people get involved in creating wealth, Uganda will be the most developed country in the world.”
He further noted that land fragmentation remains one of the biggest challenges facing the region and the country at large.
Hon. Migadde Robert Ndugwa, the chairperson of the NRM Buganda Parliamentary group and the MP for Buvuma County, presented the group’s Memorandum of Understanding and thanked the President for his exceptional leadership steering Uganda’s development forward.
He noted that the group has been moving in the region at the constituency level to respond to community concerns and monitor government programs.
The Deputy Secretary General of the NRM party, Hon. Rose Namayanja, thanked President Museveni for his guidance on the different areas of development and service delivery.
She thanked the group for the unity and commitment, further asking them to work harder for the people and deliver success for the NRM party in the region.
