Manifesto: NRM-O states their vision: Way forward
We shall continue to build the infrastructure such as roads, schools and hospitals, and shall attract more investment by the private sector in these areas. We shall expand the Energy and Mining, Communications and the Water sectors. Furthermore, we shall pursue the promotion of ICTs to increase our competitiveness in the globalized economy.
Tourism
As we continue to promote Uganda’s tourism industry by giving incentives such as tax holidays and tax exemptions on hotel inputs, we shall, in addition, set up a special fund for those who wish to invest in the tourism and hospitality business.
Defence and Security
We shall continue to professionalize and modernize the army and the police for the security and defence of our country in line with the tenets of the East African Federation. Working closely with both and the Sudan government and the SPLA, we will continue to pursue the remnants of LRA until there is total peace in northern Uganda as we resettle people in IDP camps back into their homes.
Environment
We shall continue to implement a strategy of afforestation and reforestation by involving all the local administration, and formulate a policy that will ensure that school children become active participants in tree planting and other environmental issues. We shall promote the use of brickets as an alternative use to charcoal and wood fuel, with a purpose of slowing down the destruction of our forests
