President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has concluded the five-day tour of the Bunyoro sub region to assess the implementation of the Parish Development Model (PDM) and wealth creation programs.
During the last day of his tour on Friday, 20th March 2025, Museveni addressed a public rally at Kahunde Grounds in Kagadi district, where he strongly emphasized the urgent need to use local people to fight corruption within PDM committees.
He noted that once the PDM funds are protected from the corrupt officials, everybody will be able to benefit, adding that the government will continue to send more funds.
“I urge all Ugandans to take a strong stand against corruption within the PDM committees. This initiative is yours to champion, and together we must work to eliminate anyone who seeks to undermine it,” said President Museveni.

Museveni also advised locals to only borrow from PDM and EMYOOGA schemes to support development instead of money lenders.
The President, in his message, emphasized free education in all government-aided schools.
He also handed over a brand new ambulance bought by the government to Buyaga County.
Museveni directed the Special Force Command, SFC engineering, to rehabilitate Nsuunga Police Station in Kagadi District and preserve it as a historical site.
“This station holds historical significance in our liberation struggle. On February 6, 1981, my comrades and I launched an armed struggle against the government of Milton Obote, starting with just 27 guns. Our first attack was on Kabamba Barracks, where we seized military equipment. We then advanced through Kagadi to Isunga Police Station. At Isunga, we overran the station and captured an RPG-7B gun,” Museveni narrated.
“This RPG was a valuable addition to the few weapons we had already captured from Kabamba earlier that day, and it significantly aided us in our struggle,” he added.
He said the station will be rehabilitated and preserved as one of the great historical sites of the liberation struggle.
