There will be no stone unturned in cracking down on land grabbers masquerading as operatives of security agencies and State House agents in the next NRM five-year term of leadership, senior presidential advisor on security matters Lt. Gen. (rtd) Proscovia Nalweyiso has said.
“I will personally prevail on army, Police and other security agencies heads, as well as advise the commander-in-chief (President Yoweri Museveni), to declare a ‘kisanja hakuna-mchezo’ on crime, especially those related to land grabbing or in any way rendering poor bibanja owners homeless,” Nalweyiso says.
The remarks are contained in her congratulatory message to President Museveni, National Resistance Movement (NRM) party supporters and the entire citizenry of Uganda upon the president’s landslide victory in the January 14, 2026, General Election.
Buvuma constituency MP and chairperson of the NRM MPs parliamentary caucus joined by the supporters to celebrate his victory on Monday.
New Vision Online today, January 19, met Nalweyiso at her home located at Ntaawo cell, Ntaawo ward in Mukono Municipality’s Central Division.
Proposal to increase political terms to 10 years
The 72-year-old former bush war combatant said she plans to approach the relevant authorities to influence tabling of a mission seeking to revise the presidential, parliamentary and local government leadership terms from five to 10 years, to cut down on the undue costs incurred by the state in organising elections, reasoning that five years is just a wink of the eye.
However, Nalweyiso watered down claims by the Opposition that they had been robbed of their votes, saying there was no way the Kyagulanyi Ssentamu-led National Unity Platform (NUP), with no parliamentary candidates in some regions, could match the National Resistance Movement (NRM) with a nationwide coverage of support.
