The happenings in Kisoro exposed dirty activities at the NRM secretariat, and something should be done to avoid the same in the future. The frustrations of NRM supporters have seen many leave to join the opposition.

The parasitic nature of these agencies and authorities promoted waste and parasitism. The 2016/2017 public resource spending figures showed that agencies and authorities were taking UGX 2.2 trillion and the ministries UGX 2.6 trillion with duplication of responsibilities. The conducted survey indicated that agencies like UCDA were corrupt and wasteful, with officers awarding themselves contracts, supplying poor-quality, overpriced materials, and not delivering on time.

The lack of will to fight corruption and not listening to citizens, especially the youth who are grappling with unemployment and hopelessness, gives a ground and platform to the gay promoters to mislead them, and the demonstrations may be uncontrollable in the future.

The NRM party showing the will to fight corruption by arresting legislators who had not received the bribe yet, but leaving those who sat and shared billions amongst themselves with impunity is not a good gesture but will instead look as playing on the minds of the tax payers.

In 2015, the constitutional amendment removed the limit on the two consecutive 7-year terms and allowed Kagame to run for another two 5-year terms.

One of the reasons the previous governments were overthrown was corruption, and there is no doubt that corruption will put down the NRM government if nothing is done to fight it.
