Museveni meets NRM Buganda Parliamentary Caucus

____________

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has met and discussed a wide range of developmental issues with the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Buganda Parliamentary Caucus at State House, Entebbe. 

During the Friday evening meeting, 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 said 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.

He also thanked NRM MPs from the Buganda region for the good work of sensitising the masses and monitoring government programmes.

As such, he tasked the leaders with now mainly focusing 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.”

Museveni further noted that land fragmentation remains one of the biggest challenges facing the region and the country at large.

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 leading Uganda’s development forward. 

The legislator said that, as a group, they have been moving in the Buganda region at the constituency level to respond to community concerns and monitor government programmes.

Rose Namayanja, the NRM deputy secretary general, thanked the President 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..
