Museveni told people at State House Entebbe that foreign-backed groups keep trying to stir up trouble in Uganda, but the NRM government has everything locked down to maintain stability. He said these parasite outfits do not contribute to wealth creation and just want violence, which will not fly because the administration has built proper infrastructure for keeping things peaceful. The president spoke at year-end national prayers with First Lady Janet Museveni, warning that troublemakers will face consequences.
He went after sectarianism based on religion or tribe, telling anyone pushing that agenda to basically get lost. Museveni hyped up the Parish Development Model and other programs that supposedly strengthened the economy, claiming Uganda will hit 7 percent growth this year and double digits once oil production kicks in. He pushed his usual trinity of patriotism, Pan-Africanism, and socio-economic transformation as the values Uganda needs.
Janet Museveni thanked God for peace and natural resources, while Archbishop Kaziimba appreciated the event and preached about integrity. Joseph Serwadda prayed for peaceful elections.
