Museveni tells Kasese - farm, build, and skip handouts

Museveni basically told Kasese residents to get rich via farming or stay broke. The incumbent leader hit up Kisinga Town Council to push commercial agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing as the only real paths to wealth. He insists locals need to master specific trades like carpentry or ceramics to actually make money.

He claims the national economy expanded massively, yet too many citizens remain poor. Official records indicate the region received millions of coffee and apple seedlings to help farmers escape poverty. The president warned that government employment is rare, meaning people must create personal wealth instead of waiting for handouts.

New pledges involve road machinery to tackle rough terrain and settling pension issues for Rwenzururu veterans. He also promised land for the Banyabindi resettlement and plans to convert the Katebwa conflict areas into memorials. Voters were urged to stick with the ruling party based on tangible past results rather than stories.

Eng Jonard Asiimwe requested an industrial park, citing twenty thousand megawatts of power potential in the area. Chairman James Mbahimba noted that recognizing cultural institutions and improving health services has boosted local optimism.

Stats show over seventy billion shillings went to parishes while skilling hubs trained more than a thousand youths. Irrigation projects like Mubuku II currently support hundreds of farmers. Water access and electricity connections have supposedly laid the groundwork for future industrial growth, according to local officials.
