NRM leaders prepare for grassroots mobilisation tour

The Secretary General of the National Resistance Movement (NRM), Richard Todwong, along with key leaders from the Secretariat, held discussions today with Members of Parliament from the Busoga and Lango sub-regions. This meeting was in preparation for significant grassroots mobilisation tours that are scheduled to begin next week.

The strategic engagement that took place at the NRM headquarters in Nakasero, Kampala focused on the progress of manifesto implementation and service delivery to the people.

Addressing the MPs, Todwong highlighted the importance of engaging representatives to address issues affecting the local population.

"We prioritise consulting with MPs and local leaders before visiting their areas to hear their perspectives and inform them of our plans," he said.

"In Busoga, concerns have been raised by sugarcane farmers and fishing communities regarding the strict enforcement by the Fisheries Protection Unit and challenges with wetland farming. The mobilisation tour will focus on these matters, ensuring we work together to resolve them," the Secretary General added.

Todwong further mentioned that the mobilisation campaign would extend to other regions after Busoga and Lango, with a continued emphasis on reinforcing the NRM's presence at the grassroots level and addressing local issues.

He commended the regional whips for their coordination efforts and stressed the need to gather success stories from government programmes such as the Parish Development Model (PDM) and Emyooga, which are aimed at reducing poverty.

The Government Chief Whip, Denis Hamson Obua, stated that the mobilisation would prioritise service delivery to address local concerns and enhance project implementation ahead of the forthcoming elections.

"I encourage locals to attend the meetings with the party's leadership in large numbers to voice their concerns," Obua said.

He also mentioned that fishermen and sugarcane farmers in both sub-regions would have the chance to engage directly with party leaders to seek lasting solutions to their issues.
