Eastern region youth endorse Kyankwanzi resolution
Thursday, May 29, 2014
President Yoweri Museveni has said he will pronounce himself on the
Kyankwanzi resolution at an appropriate time saying the issue is not
to want to be President but what the country and Africa needs.
"If am wanted, we shall have an answer to that at the right time,
because there is the question of being offside. I welcomed the
Kyankwanzi resolution in the context of party cohesion because there
were rumours that there were `wanters'..and wanters in a bad way. If
you want in a bad way, you are forced to tell lies," he said.
The President who is also the NRM party Chairman was yesterday
addressing NRM youth leaders in Eastern Region comprising the
sub-regions of Bugisu, Bukedi, Sebei, Busoga,Teso and Karamoja.
He was responding to demands by the youth that he continues leading
them because the country values his contribution to the country and
nation building. They resoundingly cheered the Kyankwanzi resolution
for the President to stand for the 5th term unopposed.
"Now this is part of the problem especially at the level of the
President to say; I want, I want. The issue is not to want but what
the country needs. I welcomed the Kyankwanzi resolution in the
interest of the party cohesion and also because there were rumors that
there were wanters who were conducting themselves in a bad way and
also using subversive ways," he said.
The NRM National Chairman noted that those who wanted leadership in a
bad way were forced by their actions to tell lies and were not
truthful.
"You say that this man is useless! You look at a general and you say
this man is useless? he wondered. Mistake one will lead to mistake two
because you are the under-miner of others," he pointed out.
The President who appreciated the importance of interacting with the
youth so as to build a strong party and country- Uganda, cautioned
them against politics of indiscipline which he said is not good for
the country and advised that even at constituency level, leaders
should come together, discuss the needs of their area and decide
amongst themselves who can best perform what task.
President Yoweri Museveni advised the youth in the country not to take
politics as a career but to view it as a service to the people by
diagnosing and solving their socio-economic problems.
"The problem we have is that many people want to join politics as a
career. Politics is not a joke and jostling for jobs, but diagnosing
and treatment of the problems people have. It is not a matter of
saying 'A bewo-abewo, but providing solutions to peoples' problems,"
he said.
President Museveni told the youth who were listening attentively that
after the NRM restored the security of the country and implemented the
minimum economic recovery programme, it embarked on deeply diagnosing
and prescribing the right medicine that would get people out of
poverty.
He said the medicine was contained in the 1996 manifesto of exploiting
4 acres of land at each house hold by engaging in commercial
agriculture.
The President explained that the manifestos spelt out a package of
income generating activities on a 4 acre land and at the backyard that
would help families eradicate poverty, which was unfortunately ignored
by many.
"This was our prescription that was put in writing, people took it as
a joke. Now you are finding that it is not a joke. I know what you are
going through. You have a degree but no job and you quarrel with the
government. The NRM, especially myself, has discharged my duty to you
people," he said.
President Museveni told the youth that the lack of technical and
managerial skills as well as the right qualifications was also another
challenge creating un-employment and yet jobs are available.
"It is not true that there are no jobs. The truth is that there are no
skills for those jobs. Many youth have qualifications that are not
needed in the labor market," he noted.
The President cited the health sector that lacks medical Doctors and
the Hydro-power sites that import labour from neighboring countries
due to lack of Ugandan machine operators.
He counseled the youth to always have a correct positive attitude towards work.
"You the youth should not despise any job. Do whatever job available
and get money," he advised.
On the startup capital, the President assured the youth of the
availability of funds for their economic empowerment adding that the
government is to restructure some of the organizations like the NAADS
to ensure that the youth benefit from the billions of funds sent to
those organizations.
The meeting, that was attended by Cabinet Ministers, Members of
Parliament and district leaders from Mbale and the neighboring
districts also witnessed the crossing to NRM of former opposition
supporters to the NRM party.
Earlier President Museveni was received in style at Maluku by the
Kadodi traditional entertainers.
