Ruling party-NRM is slated to launch major grassroot mobilization tours in Busoga and Lango Subregions next week!
As such, the party’s Secretary General Richard Todwong together with the secretariat top brass, yesterday held a strategic engagement meeting with area legislators at NRM headquarters Kyaddondo Kampala.
The meeting focused on the progress of manifesto implementation and service delivery to the people.
During the meeting, Todwong told the lawmakers that it is important to engage people’s representatives on the issues affecting them.
“We prioritize engaging MPs and leaders before moving into their regions to hear their input and inform them of our plans” Todwong said
He cited in Busoga, where sugarcane farmers and fishing communities have raised issues about strict enforcement by the Fisheries Protection Unit and the challenges with wetland cultivation.
He also noted that the mobilization aims to address these concerns directly and we will engage directly with the people and work together to resolve these issues.
“The campaign will expand to other regions after Busoga and Lango, focusing on strengthening the NRM’s grassroots presence and addressing community concerns” Todwong said.
He praised the NRM regional whips for their coordination and stressed the importance of gathering success stories from government programs like the Parish Development Model (PDM) and Emyooga among other poverty alleviation programs.
Meanwhile government Chief Whip Denis Hamson Obua revealed that service delivery will be prioritized during the mobilization to resolve local grievances and improve project implementation ahead of the upcoming elections.
“I implore locals to turn up in big numbers to the meetings with the Secretariat’s leadership to raise their concerns,” Obua urged.
Obua also added that the fishermen and those engaged in sugar cane growing within the two sub-regions will have an opportunity to interact with the party leaders directly to find lasting solutions.
The NRM National Treasurer, Amb. Barbara Nekesa Oundo, Deputy National Treasurer Jacquiline Kyatuheire, NRM Electoral Commission Chairman, Dr Tanga Odoi, the Deputy Chairperson of NRM Electoral Commission John Alimpa Kigyaagi, Commissioner NRM Electoral Commission Alisemeera Jane Babiiha, Emmanuel Dombo, the Director of Information and Public Relations, Hajjat Medina Naham Ojale, the Director of Finance and Administration and Major Awich Pollar the Director of External Affairs all braced the meeting.
