He said that skirmishes and contradictions among leaders have wasted time which would be spent on more productive activities.

“I came to realize that ever since the parliamentary elections ended, we have spent a lot of time bickering because of our individual interests. Given that we are many and our interests are very competitive, we have kept on fighting each other. But I urge you to learn to differentiate between petty politics from principled politics. We need to re-organize ourselves and move on,” Todwong said.

“We should know that the party is bigger than all of us, therefore we should not spend time fighting. To me it shows that we are not ideologically grounded,” he added.

He referred to the party constitution’s schedule four which guides members’ conduct, asking leaders to be conversant with the rules that regulate their behaviour to avoid doing contrary to the party expectations.

Todwong clarified that those fighting for positions in the party structures especially Sheema NRM district chairman should hold fire since structure elections are going to be conducted soon.

“The offices of our structure leaders expired and they were extended for six month effective December 2021, until end of May. Therefore let us be patient and wait for the election to resolve this puzzle, given that all of you are in acting capacity,” he clarified.

He promised to lay the matters brought forward to the attention of the party chairman for a lasting solution.

The government Chief whip who is also Ruhinda North constituency Member of Parliament, Thomas Bangirana Tayebwa encouraged other Members of Parliament to pick a leaf from Kateshumbwa, and call for council meetings in their constituencies to discuss matters affecting people they lead.

“I encourage all other MPs to call area delegates to discuss issues affecting NRM. Such a meeting in Sheema is a sign of peace and the use of concerted efforts to solve their differences have paid good results. Sheema is now united,” Tayebwa said, adding “Many people have been diverted, but I urge you to remain united.”

On his part, Kateshumbwa said that the reason for being in politics is to serve people. Adding that, Lack of unity, is paralyzing development.

“I want to call upon everyone to embrace unity. The election ended a year ago so we need to concentrate on service delivery,” Kateshumbwa said.
