President Museveni stressed wealth creation as key to job growth during his Thursday rally in Kiboga West. He explained that private sector initiatives naturally create employment opportunities for Ugandans. Government positions total only 480,000 compared to Uganda's 46 million population, making them insufficient for national employment needs. Commercial agriculture offers more jobs, with State Transport Minister Fred Byamukama's farm employing 26 people earning at least 200,000 shillings monthly. Wealth creation also expands the tax base for roads, schools, electricity, and health facilities.
The president urged households to start income-generating activities regardless of infrastructure access. He mentioned 60-year-old tarmac roads where poor residents live, showing that infrastructure alone cannot eliminate poverty. The Parish Development Model serves as Uganda's strategy to move 39% of citizens from subsistence farming into the money economy. Previous programs included Entandikwa, NAADS, Operation Wealth Creation, and Emyooga.
Museveni addressed land conflicts in the region involving irregular land acquisition. The constitution prohibits landlords from evicting tenants occupying land since 1983 or earlier. Landlords refusing to collect rent fees must collect them from the district offices. Lands Minister Judith Nabakooba plans district bank accounts where tenants can deposit rejected payments. Greater Mubende includes seven local governments: Kassanda, Kiboga, Kyankwanzi, Mityana, Mubende, Mubende Municipality, and Mityana Municipality.
