Uganda President Museveni stressed integrity as essential for public officials during his recent address to leaders from the Kigezi and Ankole sub-regions. At the Kyamate Secondary School playground in Ntungamo district, Museveni emphasized truthfulness as a cornerstone of effective leadership. The President, joined by First Lady Janet Kataaha Museveni, referenced his military experiences to demonstrate how honesty leads to success. He shared that during his time-fighting in the bush, truthfulness proved more valuable than deception despite facing well-armed opponents.
Museveni directly addressed government representatives about misleading constituents. He stated firmly that he rejects leadership based on falsehoods. The President advised officials to guide citizens properly rather than providing incorrect information. His message centered on building trust through consistent truthfulness when engaging with community members. Museveni connected this ethical approach to his previous military success against better-equipped forces.
The President also discussed practical governance strategies focused on poverty reduction. He encouraged adaptable planning methods that maintain clear goals for community development. Museveni specifically highlighted the importance of teaching residents about improving water access at the household level. He recommended transitioning away from communal water systems toward individual household solutions, particularly for families raising livestock under the Parish Development Model program.
Various high-ranking officials attended the gathering, including cabinet ministers, state ministers, parliamentarians, and local authorities. Ntungamo Municipality MP Jonah Musinguzi expressed admiration for the President's Parish Development Model vision during the event. Musinguzi suggested neighboring nations might benefit from adopting similar approaches to economic improvement. The President continues visiting different zones across Uganda, promoting economic growth initiatives and better living conditions through the PDM framework.
