National Resistance Movement (NRM) party leaders in the Bukedi Sub-region have asked President Museveni to fulfill previous pledges he made to them, including those made in the 1990s.
Among the pledges is the tarmacking of Lwangoli-Butaleja-Busolwe-Namutumba Road, Tororo-Nagongera Busolwe Road, Naboa-Nabiganda Road, establish a dairy factory in Kibuku District, and starch factory in Pallisa District.
The leaders made the remarks during President Museveni’s meeting with NRM party leaders at Busitema University, Pallisa Campus yesterday 30th November.
Herbert Kinobero, the MP Kibuku County, said President Museveni should also fulfill the pledge of having a hospital in each district to ease access to healthcare.
The leaders, in their joint memo read by George Omondigi, the NRM chairperson for Pallisa District, asked President Museveni to upgrade Pallisa Hospital to a regional hospital.
Jenipher Namuyangu, the Kibuku District Woman MP, asked Museveni to intervene, saying locals are being threatened with eviction from wetlands where they earn a living in rice growing.
In response to this, President Museveni said the government will compensate people to leave the wetlands noting that he doesn’t want to chase away people from wetlands without a plan.
