At State House Nakasero, coordinators under the Office of National Chairman, under the direction of the office manager Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo, spent an evening with HE Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.

In addition to performing other duties at the behest of Museveni, the National Chairman, ONC is principally tasked with safeguarding the votes of the NRM presidential candidate in each national election. Currently serving as the office’s manager is Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo, the Senior Presidential Advisor responsible for Political Affairs.

The NRM National Leader spoke at the conference about other important national concerns and the need for several government programs on wealth creation for social economic transformation.
HE Museveni’s teachings were centered on the need to increase the parish’s commitment to the implementation of the Parish Development Model, Emyooga, and other government initiatives. He urged the ONC to make sure that these programs were implemented smoothly and that all the parish’s peasants were included.

According to Museveni, the Ugx 100 million soft loan that is given to each parish and is due in 24 months has a multiplier effect that can benefit 450 people in a parish at least after 5 years, making it a practical way to improve people’s livelihoods. The PDM received an allocation of 1.007 trillion shillings in the most recent FY 2024/25 for disbursement at the 10,717 Parishes in Uganda.

The contender for president in 2026 stated that commercial agriculture is a key industry within the government’s four (s) pathways for wealth creation, addressing the issue of youth unemployment “as a must.” He advised the participants to avoid napping (okulambala) and to use the Irumba Model, which uses three (3) acres of land to create wealth while employing over fifteen (15) people, and the Nyakana Model of Wealth Creation, which uses one (1) acre of land.

Additionally, he pointed out that mobilization is about “okukyeenura,” or identifying needs that may be met and educating people about the difference between good and bad. HE Museveni said during a lesson, “The Parish Development Model is rain that covers every part of Uganda.”

The President maintains his belief that peasants can only become fully mobilized when they are integrated into a contemporary society and have access to resources like clean water, good healthcare, and education.

The National Chairman encouraged his young bazzukulu-coordinators to take advantage of their youth to start and change their livelihoods, just as he did in the 1960s when he used his savings from working as a part-time teacher to buy land in Rwakitura, where he raised his family and showed the locals how to adjust to giving up control of their land methods of agricultural farming.

He also reiterated the need to guarantee that peasant children have free access to Universal Primary Education (UPE) and Universal Secondary Education (USE), free from the payments that instructors typically demand in order to meet the NRM government’s mass education targets.

In other important areas, the National Chairman of the NRM gave his mobilization advice to be wary of the evils of money and to avoid being a victim of widespread corruption, for which he has allocated all the resources required to eradicate it.

In their statements, the coordinators complimented Hajjat Namyalo’s distinctiveness in the mobilization sector, emphasizing the way her empowerment approach—helping the impoverished to produce their own—has transformed the livelihoods of groups of women and PWDs in the Busoga Sub-region land for commercial agriculture, poultry projects for income generation.

Hajjat Namyalo expressed gratitude to the National Chairman NRM for his ongoing leadership over the nation, particularly with regard to the bazzukulu. He also brought up the issue of the land owners’ unpaid compensation for their land holdings in the Karuma hydropower project, despite the initial plan that all affected parties would be paid before the project started. A group of more than fifty (50) victims filed a combined legal petition with the government, requesting that it grant their demands. This action puts the project’s implementation at jeopardy.

She also notified the National Chairman of the Business Community’s request to meet with him to discuss urgent matters related to advancing the agenda for wealth and job creation in West Nile and Greater Mbarara.
