President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has concluded his Bunyoro sub-region tour with a robust presentation of the National Resistance Movement’s (NRM) achievements over the last 40 years.
The president also outlined new infrastructure, wealth creation, and job creation plans aimed at consolidating development gains.
Addressing residents and local leaders in Kakumiro district on Monday, 15th December 2025, President Museveni said peace remains the NRM’s foremost achievement, noting that Uganda’s stability has provided the foundation for sustained growth.
He said the country has moved from chronic insecurity to a stable environment that supports investment, service delivery, and economic activity.
The President highlighted development as the second pillar of NRM’s legacy, citing major investments in roads, electricity, clean water, education, healthcare, and communication.
In Kakumiro District, clean water coverage now stands at 92 percent, while electricity has expanded to most sub-counties.
Museveni announced new road projects, including the Kazo–Burunga–Mpara–Hapuuyo road and the Kisiita–Nkooko–Masode–Ntwetwe road linking to Kiboga, alongside plans to upgrade a Health Centre IV into a district hospital.
Wealth creation, Museveni said, has been a core NRM focus since the bush war period. He urged Ugandans to embrace commercial agriculture based on calculation, promoting the four-acre model and enterprise selection suited to land size.
He pointed to government programs such as Entandikwa, Operation Wealth Creation, and the Parish Development Model as key drivers of household incomes.
On employment, the President emphasized that government alone cannot absorb Uganda’s growing population, stressing that jobs are generated through wealth creation, services, and industrialization.
He reaffirmed NRM’s push for industrial parks and value addition as engines for mass employment.
Local leaders praised the President’s leadership, crediting him with restoring peace during periods of insecurity and delivering key infrastructure.
Kakumiro NRM Chairperson Fred Byamukama cited 655 kilometres of tarmacked roads in Bunyoro, Kabale International Airport, expanded irrigation schemes, and improved electricity coverage.
Prime Minister Rt. Hon. Robinah Nabbanja said Kakumiro had overwhelmingly pledged support to President Museveni in appreciation for district status and major road projects, including the Mubende–Kakumiro–Kagadi road.
She also announced fresh political realignments, including the defection of Stecia Mayanja, leader of the National Peasants’ Party, to the NRM.
The Bunyoro tour underscored NRM’s development message, growing political momentum, and renewed focus on protecting gains while accelerating inclusive growth.
