The president issued a stark warning against disturbing the country's hard-won peace during a major rally. Yoweri Museveni emphasized that peace remains the foundational achievement of his National Resistance Movement government, enabling all subsequent development. He told the crowd that past instability had prevented projects like Mandela National Stadium, which only materialized under sustained calm.
Museveni listed infrastructure progress made possible through stability, citing Akii Bua Stadium in Lira, Hoima Stadium, and the Karuma Hydropower plant. He noted upcoming projects like the Ayago power plant and confirmed the imminent start of oil production, a resource confirmed only under peaceful conditions. The president cautioned communities in Lango, Teso, and Acholi against wetland destruction, promoting fish farming and irrigation instead.
He outlined a household-based livestock restocking program, with funds pending verified beneficiary lists. Museveni identified wealth creation as a key government focus, urging a shift to commercial agriculture via models like the four-acre plan. He referenced various funding initiatives, including the Parish Development Model, which provides capital through local SACCOs.
Speaker of Parliament Anita Among urged strong electoral support for the president, thanking him for the stadium and a new regional blood bank in Lira. NRM Northern Region Vice Chairperson Hamson Obua predicted the party's next term would be its best, highlighting visible development projects. Local party chairperson Auma Linda Agnes pledged increased support and raised the pending creation of Erute District.
Lira City NRM Chairperson Ruth Aceng praised the president's partnership with the Lango sub-region, citing road projects and the stadium development.
