Museveni Calls for Unity and Prosperity to his Co-leaders

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni emphasized the importance of focusing on the prosperity of Ugandans during his address to district leaders at the closure of the Transformational Leadership Development Course at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) Kyankwanzi. He highlighted the historical challenges faced by the country, including political turmoil and wars, attributing them to misdiagnosed problems.

Museveni underscored the need for a shift away from identity-based politics towards principles that promote national prosperity, such as patriotism, Pan-Africanism, socio-economic transformation, and democracy. He urged leaders to prioritize the welfare of all citizens, emphasizing the role of external markets in achieving economic growth.

The President outlined strategies for economic empowerment, including wealth creation through agriculture and the promotion of industries, services, and ICT. He stressed the importance of education and urged leaders to work towards the socio-economic transformation of their communities.

In response to the training organized by the Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Robinah Nabbanja, President Museveni assured support for local leaders and proposed the establishment of a SACCO to assist them. Additionally, he pledged to address infrastructure needs, such as upgrading health facilities and improving roads.

The event also saw participants expressing gratitude for government support and requesting further assistance, including the operationalization of Bunyoro University, increased emoluments for district leaders, and transparency in party structures. Notably, concerns were raised about the influence of Members of Parliament in decision-making processes and the need for active engagement of party structures beyond elections.

Overall, the gathering highlighted the government’s commitment to empowering local leaders and advancing socio-economic development in Uganda.
