Nathan Nandala Mafabi, Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) presidential candidate, has attributed Uganda’s poverty to the NRM government’s policies, saying they prioritize money lending over people’s welfare, leaving Ugandans poor and struggling.
Addressing rallies in Bukedea District, Mafabi promised to revive agriculture, support small enterprises, and protect farmers’ rights, offering a glimmer of hope to the weary population.
Mafabi criticized the government’s handling of agriculture, saying it’s discouraged cash crop production, and vowed to promote cotton and cassava production, echoing the sentiments of many farmers who feel abandoned. “The current policies have made farmers poor,” he said.
He pledged to revive the agricultural sector, making it the backbone of Uganda’s economy.
He also condemned threats to evict rice growers in Bukedea District, promising to provide alternatives and support, a move seen as a bold stance against the government’s heavy-handed approach.
“The government should not threaten people who are trying to make a living,” Mafabi said, adding that the FDC would protect the rights of farmers and provide alternatives if elected.
Mafabi’s vision for Uganda includes promoting cash crop production, supporting small and medium enterprises, and protecting people’s livelihoods.
He urged voters to support the FDC and its candidates, promising a brighter future for Uganda.
The FDC, he said, would prioritize agricultural revival, economic empowerment, and social justice, ensuring that Ugandans are lifted out of poverty.
In his rallies at Akerei Trading Centre, Aligoi, Aminit, and Kolir Sub Counties, Mafabi emphasized the need for leaders who understand the struggles of the people, not just the struggles of the treasury. “It’s time for a change,” he declared, sparking hope among supporters that a better future is possible.
Mafabi’s message resonates with many Ugandans who feel marginalized and neglected.
His commitment to revive the agricultural sector, support small and medium enterprises, and protect people’s livelihoods has sparked hope for a better future.
As the country gears up for elections, Mafabi’s vision for Uganda’s development is gaining traction, offering a viable alternative to the current regime.
