<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cSaleh joined us in the war against Idi Amin in 1976 when he was just 16 years old. He ran away from school at Kako and joined us in Tanzania together with other fighters like Ivan Koreta. Between 1979 and 1986, he did a lot of good work, especially during the 1981\u20131986 war. Saleh commanded many of the big battles, including the battles of Masindi, Kabamba, Masaka, and Kampala.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Museveni noted that after the war, Gen. Saleh transitioned into wealth creation and economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter the war, he became very much involved in wealth creation. He is now busy with development, working with others in areas like coffee and playing a very active role in the north,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat development in Kapeka was started by Saleh. I am very glad that this is a good idea, and I commend you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President also issued a stern warning against corruption, saying those involved would face firm action.\u201cThe corrupt are now in danger and will be dealt with. You cannot underestimate us. You will see what will happen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He urged MPs to lead by example in the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou in Parliament are now on the frontline. You should not accept bribes. If you have problems, come and tell us, but don\u2019t take bribes,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Museveni warned that culprits risk losing their parliamentary seats, stressing that the government will not tolerate corruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are going to finish this corruption,\u201d he said.President Museveni also commended MPs for attending the retreat, likening it to renewing commitment and discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cChristians go to church every Sunday to renew their faith, and Muslims go to the mosque many times a day. It is important that cadres also come to the seminary to renew their commitment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On regional matters, the President emphasized the need for African unity and economic integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe cannot achieve prosperity with fragmented markets, policies, and infrastructure,\u201d he said.He further paid tribute to African leaders such as Julius Nyerere and Benjamin Mkapa for their role in promoting the East African Community, calling for deeper integration within the bloc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe whole of the East African Community should move towards full integration,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On his part, NALI Director, Col. Okei Rukogota, said the Gen. Salim Saleh School of Research and the Walter Rodney Block will serve as a hub for ideological development, research, and Pan-African studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour Excellency, this complex will promote African culture and provide a forum for ideological struggle, complete with a modern multimedia auditorium and studios for both physical and online engagement,\u201d Col. Rukogota said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that the facility will preserve Uganda and Africa\u2019s liberation history while advancing what he described as \u201cMusevenomics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt will be an arena for Musevenomics studies and will honour Gen. Saleh\u2019s contribution\u2014from mobilization during the war to the practical implementation of economic transformation programmes such as SACCOs and community development initiatives,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Col. Rukogota said the project was justified by Gen. Saleh\u2019s heroic contribution to Uganda and Africa, describing him as a pillar of patriotism and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, the Head of Public Service and Secretary to Cabinet, Ms. Lucy Nakyobe urged civil servants and leaders to embrace patriotism as a foundation for national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWithout patriotism, Uganda cannot achieve its development goals. All public servants must love their country and serve with commitment,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ms. Nakyobe revealed that the government has introduced mandatory ideological training at NALI for newly recruited public servants and senior officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll new entrants into public service must undergo a two-week induction here. We have already trained Permanent Secretaries, CAOs, town clerks, and we are lining up more cadres,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She raised concern over corruption in recruitment, particularly within district service commissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere have been complaints about people buying jobs. This is unacceptable, and as legislators, you need to review the legal framework to address these gaps,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ms. Nakyobe warned that corruption is becoming entrenched and could undermine the country if not urgently addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCorruption is growing under our watch, and if we do not stop it now, it will become a monster that will destroy the country,\u201d she cautioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She outlined key areas where corruption manifests, including procurement, payroll fraud, absenteeism, and bribery in service delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn procurement, there is collusion between officials and contractors, leading to inflated costs and poor-quality work. This is why you see roads developing potholes shortly after construction,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On absenteeism, she said: \u201cTime is a resource. Wasting it is corruption. Public officers must be disciplined, especially in the health and education sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nakyobe also called for stronger leadership and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLeaders must set an example. Ministers, MPs, and accounting officers must demonstrate integrity. Parliament must not only demand accountability but also model it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She tasked MPs to tighten oversight, legislation, and accountability mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou must interrogate government expenditure and ensure value for money. Strengthen laws to close loopholes that enable corruption,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The health Minister, Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng highlighted progress and challenges in Uganda\u2019s health sector, emphasizing prevention as key to reducing disease burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur population is large, and we cannot meet all treatment needs. The solution is prevention\u2014through proper nutrition, exercise, and healthy living,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She noted improvements in infrastructure design to accommodate persons with disabilities and expanded access to mental health services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Aceng also revealed progress in organ transplant services at Mulago National Referral Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo far, Mulago has carried out over 12 transplant surgeries, and all recipients and donors are alive and well,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On staffing, she explained that nurses are being trained to handle diagnostic services at lower health facilities due to a shortage of specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Editor:msserwanga@gmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has today hailed Gen.
