In a message he posted on the NRM party’s official social Twitter account, Todwong said that the mishaps in their administration over the years were not intentional and asked members of the public to pardon areas in which they have not performed to Ugandans’ expectations. He said they will do better next time.

He added: “As a party we look forward to doing better in the coming years. I just hope that people understand that governing is not easy. Once in a while we might have over stepped but whatever was done was for the good of the country.”
