President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has warned residents of Busoga Sub region against listening to saboteurs of wealth creation programs.
Museveni kicked off his wealth creation tour of Busoga Sub region to asses the implementation of Parish Development Model, PDM on Wednesday, January 22nd, 2025 from Kalamira village Namutumba North Ward Busiki County in Namutumba district.
While touring a model farm of Tolofisa Buwala, a PDM beneficiary, President Museveni cautioned Ugandans to strictly follow his wealth creation strategies if they want to eradicate poverty.
“I come here today to follow up on how my people are working hard to get out of poverty. I cannot accept my people continuing to live in poverty. The government will continue sending more money to every parish in Uganda until all Ugandans are wealthy,” said the president.
The president further advised PDM beneficiaries to invest the money they got from the government wisely, noting the government is considering sending more money to parishes with bigger populations.
“We shall keep on sending more money to benefit everyone. I hear NUP still confusing our people. NUP is finished now,” Museveni said.
