THE Movement has launched ‘nucleus committees’ to coordinate mobilisation as the secretariat prepares to resume nationwide military and political science training popularly known as chakamchaka.
Ofwono Opondo, the director of information at the Movement Secretariat, said the committees will comprise resident district commissioners (RDCs), mobilisers, movement chairpersons at the various levels, as well as those who campaigned for President Yoweri Museveni in the last elections and for the Movement system during the 2000 referendum.
“You remember whenever there were elections Aziz Kasujja (former Electoral Commission chairman) would say, no chakamchaka. But now that the major elections are behind us and the next elections are in 2006, we have launched a master programme for mobilisation,†Ofwono told The New Vision on Friday.
The first committee was launched last week at Mukono Community Centre by the Movement director of mobilisation, Magode Ikuya.
Ikuya said the committees will be headed by the RDCs and the district Movement chairpersons and will meet monthly, to ensure that the masses are properly mobilised and inculcated into the Movement system.
“We have launched national Movement nucleus committees comprising 50 cadres in each district,†Magode said. Ends
