THE Presidential Media and Public Relations adviser John Nagenda has met the UK/NRM Interim Executive and told them to highlight the achievements of the Movement government.
The meeting took place at the Uganda High Commission in London last week.
Nagenda (left) said the Movement highs overshadow the lows that opposition groups like the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) focus on “in their relentless but futile war to dominate the foreign mediaâ€.
Nagenda said Uganda’s best selling asset was President Yoweri Museveni, and that this was the reason he had reservations about some aspects of the third term project, given that it had the potential to portray Museveni as hanging on to power like any other African leader.
He said this would be unfair to the President, who should be number two to Mandela on the continent.
He said he was not opposed to the third term in principle, as there was a strong case for it.
Nagenda said the trump cards for the NRM group to use in the media war were the irrefutable achievements ushered in since 1986, like security of person and property.
