President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has revealed that some opposition political parties are doomed to fail due to their negative stance against the good government programs aimed at alleviating Ugandans from poverty.
“That’s what NUP has been telling people in Buganda that don’t accept the coffee seedlings from the government,they are bad seeds meant to keep you in poverty. That’s what is going to destroy NUP, you will hear next time, NUP is finished,” Museveni said.
The President made the remarks Wednesday 22 January 2025 while visiting the home of Buwala Tolofisa, situated at Kalamira village, Northward zone, Namutumba Town Council, Namutumba District.
Tolofisa is one of the beneficiaries of the Parish Development Model (PDM) in the district. The visit is part of President Museveni’s 4-day wealth creation and PDM performance assessment tour in Busoga sub-region which commenced on Wednesday.
The President disclosed that the government decided to come up with the PDM initiative in order to enable the citizens to manage the wealth creation funds themselves at parish level in order to achieve efficiency.
“The Parish committee just helps us to identify the beneficiaries, but the money goes directly to the farmers. There have been some mistakes here and there, where some people have been cutting off some money, but we are going to arrest all those. Each farmer must get Sh1 million full,” he explained.
“This money is your money. It will never come back to the government. I’m just here to check and get examples. Success will spread if we are able to get more beneficiaries like Tolofisa. Others will join in after understanding that it is possible.”
President Museveni also contributed Shs30 million to Ms. Tolofisa; Shs12 million to buy two more cows, Shs6 million for a motorcycle and Shs12 million for an acre of land.
The President appealed to the people of Busoga Sub-region to ensure that they have a source of income to help them fight poverty and create wealth.
