The National Resistance Movement (NRM) Presidential Candidate, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, has today urged the people of Isingiro District to fully utilize the growing government development interventions to transform their households and create sustainable wealth.
While addressing the NRM supporters during the presidential campaign rally in Isingiro District, Ankole Sub-region, President Museveni emphasized the importance of strategic investment and effective use of government socioeconomic empowerment funds.
He said that he was introduced the 2026–2031 Manifesto in Isingiro by thanking God that he was not carrying a gun as it was in 1972, 1979 and 1985, whenever I passed through the area fighting bad regimes, hut now it is peaceful, singing and dancing.
He said that the development programs we have brought such as Parish Development Model, Emyooga and other wealth creation initiatives are meant to elevate you and your families.
“Use these funds well. Invest with calculations and focus on projects that give clear economic returns,” the President said.
President Museveni took time to explain the broader NRM wealth creation vision for Ugandans, highlighting individuals and households whose lives have improved through embracing commercial agriculture and enterprise development.
He encouraged the people of Isingiro to adopt projects that match their land sizes, noting that both small-scale and large-scale landowners can profit if they choose appropriate enterprises, saying that those on four acres of land can do wonders.
“That is why we have the Four-Acre Model—coffee, fruits, zero-grazing cows, poultry or pigs, plus food for home consumption. When done well, this model guarantees income and food security.”
The NRM Presidential Candidate further highlighted the vast job creation potential in commercial agriculture, manufacturing, the services sector and ICT and noted that the NRM government has significantly invested in industrialization, leading to more employment opportunities for Ugandans.
“Industries are coming up across the country, and they are employing thousands. Agriculture, manufacturing, services, and ICT all have enormous opportunities for our young people,” President Museveni added.
President Museveni also pointed to the success of large commercial plantations, including palm oil and other industrial crops, as part of the strategy to shift Ugandans from subsistence farming to commercial production.
On development, the President 6said that the NRM government has worked on the Mbarara–Kikagate–Isingiro and Kagitumba–Kabale–Ntungamo roads, while the remaining roads include Kikagate–Kitwe–Mirama Hill and the Kabingo–Rwekubo–Rugaaga–Rwangabo–Endiinzi–Magabi–Rakai–Mutukula route, along with Kabingo–Mutukula, which will be worked on.
Meanwhile, the NRM 2nd National Vice Chairperson (Female), Rt Hon Anita Among, rallied party structures in Isingiro District to intensify mobilization ahead of the general elections and emphasised that the NRM must secure victory.
“I call upon all our structures to guard the vote and strengthen our campaigns everywhere,”She said.
The rally attracted thousands of supporters who pledged overwhelming support for the NRM and its development agenda.
