Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni recounted his guerrilla activities during a campaign appearance in Iganga, describing how he smuggled weapons through the district during the early 1970s while emphasizing his National Resistance Movement's achievements across infrastructure, security and economic development. The incumbent detailed transporting machine guns from Tanzania via Kenya to a local lodge before proceeding to Kampala, spending hours at a transport hub to avoid suspicion by boarding vehicles to distant destinations.
Museveni outlined what he termed the seven pillars of governance, spanning peace restoration, construction of highways connecting Kampala to Malaba and other regional routes, rural water access expansion to 77 percent coverage in Iganga, and electrification reaching all but one district countrywide. The leader promoted intensive agriculture models over extensive farming while citing entrepreneurs earning substantial income from poultry operations, defending parish development initiatives despite mixed implementation results.
Former Vice President Specioza Wandira Kazibwe and multiple cabinet officials attended the gathering, where local representatives requested hospital equipment repairs, university legislation and industrial park establishment.
