President Museveni told Wakiso crowds they need to pick NRM politicians for the next election. He said these leaders will fight harder for government money and projects that help local people. The president spoke at a big rally in Nabweru during his tour checking wealth creation programs. First Lady Janet Museveni joined him at the public meeting. He wants voters to choose MPs who will demand what belongs to their communities.
Earlier that day Museveni broke ground for a new road project worth 56 billion shillings. Chinese builders will finish the 12.7 kilometer highway connecting Bukasa and Kakiri areas. The president reminded people that NRM built most major roads around Kampala after taking power. He listed the Northern Bypass and Entebbe Expressway as examples of party achievements. Roads help everyone but families still need better income to improve their lives.
Uganda created millions of jobs across different sectors according to the president. Industries employ 1.2 million workers and agriculture supports 3.6 million people. Government jobs provide work for 480,000 citizens and services hire over 5 million. Every household should create wealth or work for someone who does. The Parish Development Model gives 100 million shillings to each parish but urban areas need more funding.
Local ghetto leaders thanked Museveni for supporting 12 community groups around Kampala. They formed the Nansana Patriotic Movement to campaign for NRM candidates. The group fights against tribal and religious divisions that hurt Uganda. Government officials and MPs attended the rally supporting the president.
