President Yoweri Museveni, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) National Chairperson and party flag-bearer for the 2026 presidential elections has headed to Mitooma and Rubirizi for his campaign trail today.
Yesterday at a rally he held at Kabwohe Playground grounds in Sheema District, he defended the NRM’s record on peace, unity, development, and wealth creation while unveiling a range of new pledges for the district and wider country.
He said the enduring theme of peace and unity, has contributed to Uganda’s transformation from instability to economic progress because of doing away with sectarian politics and the creation of a national army.
At Kizinda Market in Bushenyi – Ishaka Municipality, Museveni issued a strong warning to Parish Development Model (PDM) officials who charge or steal from beneficiaries.
He vowed to decisively deal with anyone sabotaging a programme meant to lift Ugandans out of poverty.
He encouraged adoption of the four-acre model, noting that although Bushenyi is known for dairy farming, many are reluctant to plant pasture, which limits productivity.
President Museveni further reported that the number of households outside the money economy has reduced from 68% to 30%, thanks to increased production in coffee, milk, palm oil and growth of industrial parks.
