"Monitor government's programmes" - President tells NRM members
President Yoweri Museveni, who is also the Chairman of the National
Resistance Movement (NRM), has today opened the 2nd meeting of the 2nd
Conference of NRM at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole, with a call
to members of the NRM structures in the districts to diligently
monitor government's programmes that are in most cases frustrated by
public officials.
"All those members who are under NRM structures but are not under
government structures must monitor government programmes in their
areas. I have instructed the Prime Minister and the Minister of the
Presidency to use the money earmarked for monitoring in departments to
use that money for monitoring governments' programmes," he told the
cheering NRM delegates.
The one day National NRM Conference has attracted over 10,000
delegates from all districts in the country. One minute silence was
observed in remembrance of the late Eria Kategaya and the husband of
the Acting Secretary General Ms. Dorothy Hyuha.
The NRM National Chairman highlighted problems that are hindering
government's efforts to realize accelerated development in the
country. He pointed out the frustration by government officials in
implementing programmes like opening up of projects by investors and
setting up of industries.
The President cited the Kalangala Palm Project that was delayed for 10
years because government officials denied the investors from Malaysia
and Indonesia land for the project. Mr. Museveni warned that
henceforth those frustrating development programmes will be answerable
for their actions.
The NRM leader further singled out lack of implementing the 4-acre
modern farming plan in rural areas, corruption which was fueled by
accounting officers, commercialization of politics, strengthening of
the Party at the headquarters up to lower levels and providing the
population with the necessary livelihood skills.
The National NRM Chairman told delegates that having diagnosed and
identified the category on needs by wanainchi since 1960s, NRM zeroed
in on prosperity and security. He noted for the first time in the
history of Uganda there is now total peace in the whole country.
On the issue of household income, Mr. Museveni told delegates that a
lot of funds were wasted on programmes that never had any impact on
the ground. He added that all hopes were not lost because the
involvement of the Army in the distribution of planting and breeding
materials has turned round the otherwise hopeless situation.
Commenting on the infrastructure, especially roads, the President said
a lot of money was injected into the Uganda National Roads Authority
(UNRA) for the maintenance of rural roads but the group claims that
the funds are inadequate. The President said the only solution to that
hindrance is to enhance the capacity of all districts by providing
them with more road equipment to be bought from Japan. He added that
big districts like Arua, Mubende, Wakiso and others, will get more
that one unit of road equipment. He further disclosed that the 18
zones in the country will be provided with a caterpillar with its
loader.
The President also pledged more enhanced remuneration for councilors
and professors next financial year 2014/2015. The NRM National
Chairman also appealed to members who have not paid their contribution
for the construction of the Movement House to do so.
One of the visiting guests at the function, the Secretary General of
Chama Cha Mapinduzi Party of Tanzania, Duggu Kinana, on behalf of
their Party and the people of Tanzania, extended warm greetings and
best wishes from his government to President Museveni, NRM Party and
to the people of Uganda.
He lauded the cordial relationship existing between Tanzania and
Uganda adding that it is deeply rooted in the struggle for freedom
right from the time of Mwalimu Julius Nyerere.
He praised the NRM government under the leadership of President
Museveni for making tremendous strides in the development of the
country within a short time. He pointed out that under NRM, Uganda is
peaceful stable and democratic. The CCM Secretary General reminded NRM
delegates of the Kiswahili saying of 'Umoja ni Nguvu' literally
meaning Unity is strength.
The former Speaker of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA),
Mr. Abdulrahman Kinana, was also glad to learn that the conference
that he described as an historical event is to dedicate its
deliberations on the cohesion in NRM and the development and
prosperity of the country. He observed that nothing could be achieved
without cohesion and discipline within the Party.
Mr. Kinana further praised President Museveni for his tremendous
courage which is not only recognized in Uganda but also in the whole
continent of Africa.
The NRM Chairman Mr. Museveni thanked Mr. Kinana for his kind words
and told the delegates the contribution Tanzania made in the
liberation struggle where the late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere together
with the late Samora Machel of Mozambique received 28 officers to
train in Mozambique between 1976/1978 to later form the nucleus of the
then Nation Resistance Army (NRA) freedom fighters.
He introduced one of the 4 surviving Officers to the gathering, Mr.
Omule. Others include Generals Salim Saleh, Ivan Koreta and one
civilian.
Later as the Conference came to an end, a number of resolutions were
adopted based on the key note address by the Chairman of the Party
President Yoweri Museveni as a working document of NRM.
The conference also adopted the report by the Acting Secretary General
of the NRM Ms. Dorothy Hyuha. Members of NRM were commended for the
Constitution amendments.
In the amendments it was agreed, among other issues, that the
Electoral Commission of NRM be manned by full time person assisted by
2 deputies who will all be appointed by the Chairman of NRM.
The National Secretariat will delegate the registration of NRM members
to lower levels and the structure of the Secretary General, National
Treasurer, Deputy Secretary General, Deputy National Treasurer,
including all the staff of the Secretariat, will all be appointed
subject to approval by the National Executive Council (NEC).
The conference was closed with a prayer by Mrs. Janet Museveni, who
thanked God for the successful deliberations. She also prayed to God
to give leaders in the country the grace to work together for the good
of Uganda and Africa as well as to continue to preach love unity and
for all people to protect each other as brothers and sisters.
