President Yoweri Museveni has said he does not want to turn the public into a court for exchanges between Mengo and government and urged the people not to be diverted but to focus on engaging in cost effective projects to create wealth and promote food security at the household level.

"Me I don't want to disturb you. The people in the rural areas have enough problems already. I don't want to turn you into a court over the exchanges with Mengo.

God has given the Kabaka life, he is here. God has also given me life and I'm here. God has given me life and I have led you and fought many wars and I didn't die. God left me here. I brought back Kabaka Mutebi. God protected him while in exile and everything he went through. I don't want to disturb you with these things and that is why I don't want to talk about them.

I had an agreement with Kabaka Mutebi. What we talked about, you don't know. You don't know why all this delayed because I don't want to make you a court. This was between me and the Kabaka. God is still keeping my life and that of the Kabaka. You should not be diverted. You should focus on fighting poverty from your homes," he said.

The President was addressing a mammoth rally at St. Johns Secondary School Grounds in Muduuma, Mpigi district as part of his mobilization campaign to reinforce the poverty fight among veterans in former NRA operational zones. The President's initiative to seek alternative ways of reinforcing the campaign comes after he was ambushed by several veterans and individuals seeking personal support.

"We signed an MOU with Kabaka Mutebi. We have been discussing all these years, but the selfseekers came in saying Museveni hates Buganda, but me I don't care, God is there. I don't want to repeat past mistakes. The Kingdom of Buganda was there, why was it abolished in the first place? I don't think about Mayiga. If the Kabaka sends him… I only know the Kabaka because I have that responsibility. The Kabaka knows this and the elders who were here at the time know where we have come from. I urge you not to be diverted please focus on transforming your livelihoods," he said.

Museveni said there is still a problem of poverty in Uganda because people have failed to differentiate between personal wealth and national development.

"People don't differentiate between national development and wealth. They keep demanding for roads, electricity, schools and hospitals but this is national development, not personal wealth. Since Mityana road is good, are there no poor people here. What is the benefit of having a tarmac road when you can't use it to transform your lives? Government can do the roads, electricity, hospitals etc but we must sensitize our people to engage in projects that will create personal wealth and promote food security in the homes," he said.

He urged veterans to engage in productive ventures and become role models for the community. He appointed Lt. Col. Gerald Kimbugwe to oversee project implementation in Muduuma alongside other local leaders.

"These people have been sent here to work on improving household incomes. If families with little acreage can engage in at least one acre of coffee, one of fruits, another for bananas and also keep a dairy cow for milk and manure, piggery, poultry and goats, we can win the war against poverty," he said.

He pledged to provide tractors for the project that will be fueld by the users according to the acreage, brick making machines for cheap bricks for the community but also to help build elderly veterans houses, teachers and health workers houses.

On veterans payments, the President said the Shs 60billion owed the veterans will be paid, adding however that while government has some money now, there are other priorities that need to be implemented urgently including, roads, electricity, hospitals and schools. He urged the veterans to engage in productive work as they wait for their pay, saying government will support them in promoting small scale industries for value addition on their produce. He pledged Shs 20 million to Muduuma SACCO and another 20million to Mpiigi SACCO. He also announced a donation of 200 iron sheets and cement for the completion of the Catholic Church in Muduuma which was damaged during the war. He revealed that Government would compensate people who lost their property during the liberation struggle after verification and tasked Brig. Proscovia Nalweyiso to follow up the issue.

Earlier on his way to Muduuma, President Museveni pledged a donation of Shs 20 million for Tukolere Wamu Association in Buyala trading center, Mpigi District.
