In a significant political move, Mwesigwa Mathias Rwabugumi has officially picked nomination forms to contest for the National Resistance Movement (NRM) flag for the Rubabo County MP seat. The event took place at Kyadondo, where numerous aspiring candidates are also collecting forms to vie for party nominations for both parliamentary and district chairperson positions.
Upon receiving the nomination papers, Rwabugumi expressed his commitment to the development of Rubabo County. He articulated a clear vision aimed at addressing the pressing challenges facing his constituents. “My primary focus will be on fostering development that directly benefits the people of Rubabo,” he stated. His agenda is multifaceted and designed to tackle various issues that hinder progress in the region.
One of the cornerstone elements of Rwabugumi’s agenda is the empowerment of youth through talent development initiatives. He believes that by investing in young people’s skills and talents, he can help combat the high rates of unemployment that plague the area. This approach not only promises to uplift individual lives but also aims to contribute to the broader economic growth of the county.
In addition to youth empowerment, Rwabugumi is keen on enhancing the local health system. He plans to implement strategies that will alleviate the financial burdens faced by constituents when accessing healthcare services. Improved health facilities and services will be a priority, ensuring that all residents can receive the medical attention they need without the stress of overwhelming costs.

Infrastructure development is another critical focus of Rwabugumi’s campaign. He recognizes that inadequate roads and transport systems hinder farmers from accessing markets, thus affecting their livelihoods. By prioritizing infrastructure improvements, he aims to facilitate better transportation for agricultural products, which will, in turn, boost the socio-economic welfare of his constituents. His plans include tarmacking the crucial road from Kanungu via Nyakishenyi, Kisiizi to Kebisoni, connecting to the Rukungiri-Ntungamo main road.
Education also features prominently in Rwabugumi’s agenda. He advocates for improved educational standards by supporting local institutions to provide holistic education. He is particularly passionate about enhancing the government’s Universal Primary and Secondary Education programs, ensuring that quality education is accessible to all children in his constituency.
Furthermore, Rwabugumi is committed to following up on pending promises made to the people of Rubabo County. He recognizes that delivering on these commitments is essential for restoring trust between the electorate and their leaders.
As the political landscape in Uganda continues to evolve, Rwabugumi’s candidacy represents a hopeful prospect for many in Rubabo County. His dedication to addressing youth unemployment, healthcare, infrastructure, and education resonates with the aspirations of the constituents.
