Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni hit up Kiruhura District, pushing locals to ditch traditional cattle methods and switch to zero-grazing systems that could stack thousands of animals on land currently holding just 130 heads. The president dropped examples of farmers crushing it on tiny plots, like Joseph Ijala, who runs 10,000 chickens plus eight dairy cows on 2.5 acres and pulls over 6 million shillings monthly. Another guy, Richard Nyakaana, produces 120 liters daily from six cows on barely an acre, banking 20 million yearly.
Museveni reminded everyone that wealth gets built by individuals rather than government handouts, pointing to George Matongo from Nakaseke, who pumps out 900 liters per day despite living far from paved roads or electricity. The president stressed that private sector jobs from agriculture and factories employ way more people than the 480,000 government positions available for nearly 50 million Ugandans. Speaker Anita Among thanked Kiruhura residents for backing the ruling party while crediting Museveni for introducing free education across the country.
