Mubende- People's Development Party presidential candidate Abed Bwanika has promised to improve health services in rural areas if elected president .He said he would set up well-coordinated mobile health clinics network across the country.

Mr Bwanika said many people, especially in rural Uganda, are dying of treatable diseases because they cannot reach the available health centres in time.

Mobile health clinics are durable and low- priced, meant to serve the poor, especially those in deplorable conditions.
"Most women in villages here have lost pregnancies due to lack of good roads and some that manage to reach health centres do not access any treatment due to lack of medicine and health workers to attend to them, he said, adding that: " My government is going to establish mobile clinics with qualified health officials who will move to the rural areas fully equipped with machines and medicine to provide free services to our people," he said.

Mr Bwanika reiterated his plan to trim the size of Cabinet to only 23 ministers and only 170 MPs so that the money spent on their salaries and luxury cars can be invested in critical sectors such as health, agriculture and education.

He further pledged to revamp the country's feeder roads to help farmers transport their produce to the markets.

"On top of that, my government will also put in place a public company that buys essential foods like maize, beans and rice and sometimes farmers will actually be paid in advance," he said.

On the reported rampant land grabbing cases in rural areas, Mr Bwanika promised to establish a land fund to pay off the landlords so that sitting tenants can fully own their land without any encumbrances.

very high education. We can call Obote all bad names we have, but the bottom line remains that he got more scholarships for Buganda than all previous Uganda leaders combined. That includes Sir Edward Mutesa, President Lule, President Binayisa, up to and into Ssabasajja Mutebi. Who all happen to be Baganda leaders." Mulindwa
