Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni promised big upgrades to roads, water, and health services for Sembabule District at a campaign rally. Speaking in heavy rain to a large crowd, he said his government already connected the once-remote area with tarmac roads from Mpigi to Masaka. Planned projects include fixing the Sembabule-Mateete-Mbiriizi road and the historic Lusalira-to-Sembabule route used during the guerrilla war. He also mentioned future work on roads linking Ntuusi to Nyabitanga and Mateete to Kyabakuza.

He attributed forty years of peace to his National Resistance Movement party rejecting ethnic and religious sectarianism. For water issues, he proposed sourcing from the Katonga River to address salty local supplies. On healthcare, he plans to upgrade several Health Centre IIs to IIIs and build new ones in Nyabitanga and Katwe. The district currently has two Health Centre IVs and eight Health Centre IIIs. He stressed that infrastructure alone does not create wealth, pushing his four-acre farming model and commercial dairy to replace free-range grazing. He cited successful farmers like Nakaseke's George Matongo as examples. Museveni told residents to manage Parish Development Model funds themselves for accountability, adding that real jobs come from agriculture and industry, not government posts. He thanked the crowd for staying through the storm, calling them grandchildren of freedom fighters.
