As the President traversed districts such as Soroti, Kumi, Katakwi, Bukedea, Amuria, and Serere, where many people have welcomed him. His message was consistent and clear: peace is the foundation of development, and wealth creation is the next frontier for every Ugandan household.
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni who is now in campaigns for another term come 2026 has once again underscored his enduring message of peace, stability, and socio-economic transformation pillars upon which the National Resistance Movement (NRM) government has built its legacy over nearly four decades.
President Museveni has commended the people of Mbarara for their steadfast support toward the NRM and for safeguarding the peace that the country enjoys today. He reminded them that Uganda’s transformation did not come by accident but through deliberate policies centered on security, infrastructure development, and economic empowerment.
“The peace and progress that Ugandans enjoy today did not come by accident. They are a result of our consistent efforts under the NRM to ensure security, promote development, and empower households to create wealth,” President Museveni said.
President Museveni urged residents to take advantage of government wealth creation programs such as the Parish Development Model (PDM) and Emyooga. These initiatives, he argued, are designed to lift households from subsistence to commercial production.
Indeed, the President’s emphasis on individual and community productivity mirrors the broader NRM philosophy of self-reliance — a concept that has guided Uganda’s socio-economic planning since the 1990s. His remarks on job creation also tied directly to this principle.
