The event, dubbed “Buganda for Museveni,” was graced by top party officials, including NRM Deputy Secretary General Rose Namayanja and several ministers.
Namayanja called on the people of Buganda to embrace the NRM government and not be left behind by other regions in terms of development.
“It is through NRM MPs that services are lobbied from the government. So vote for President Museveni and the NRM members of parliament to follow up on government promises,” she urged.
She emphasized the need for leaders who deliver results, adding, “We no longer want Members of Parliament who are non-performers. We need MPs who can advocate for clean water, good roads, and better social services.”
The host of the event, State Minister for Microfinance Haruna Kyeyune Kasolo, assured the people of continued service delivery, urging them to trust the NRM. He highlighted the government’s achievements in the region, including the construction of over 15 health centers, SEED schools, and economic empowerment programs such as Emyooga and the Parish Development Model, which provide affordable credit to households.
