President Yoweri Museveni has tasked all National Resistance Movement (NRM) delegates to play a leading role in the fight against corruption at the local government level and ensuring that government services reach the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museveni was addressing delegates of the NRM Special Interest Groups (SIGs) at Kololo Independence Grounds on Monday. He outlined Uganda\u2019s economic journey, highlighting its expansion from $3.9 billion in 1986 to $66 billion today. He said the country is now working towards becoming a high middle-income economy worth $500 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President explained that the economy has gone through five key phases: minimum recovery, expansion of production, diversification, value addition, and the current phase of the knowledge economy. He cited innovations such as the locally developed Kira electric buses, vaccine production, and computer manufacturing as signs of progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museveni emphasized the need for all Ugandans to join the money economy. \u201cIn 2013, 68% of homesteads were outside the money economy. Today, 67% are in, but 33% remain out. Every family must produce for both food and cash,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning to governance, Museveni tasked the delegates to ensure that corruption is uprooted, especially at the local level. He warned against bribery in local government recruitment and urged citizens to hold leaders accountable for service delivery. \u201cDon\u2019t allow corrupt people to undermine your progress. Stop those who steal public funds or take bribes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President also called on leaders and citizens to ensure proper maintenance of roads, monitor the performance of the police in fighting crime, and safeguard free education in government schools. He expressed concern that despite government funding, some schools still charge parents illegal fees, frustrating poor families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On healthcare, Museveni decried the theft of medicines from hospitals and urged communities to expose wrongdoers. He also emphasized the importance of safe water access, education, and healthcare as foundations for improved welfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President concluded by encouraging Ugandans to fight poverty, corruption, and crime, while embracing education, healthcare, and clean water as pathways to prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NRM Secretary General ,Richard Todwong ,reminded delegates to put the party above personal interests. He urged members to foster unity, stressing that internal competition should not create enmity. \u201cWe are members of a family. Focus on the bigger picture of the party\u2014the mission, objectives, and goals\u2014rather than personal ambitions,\u201d Todwong said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
