“These rallies across Buganda are part of our efforts to share the progress and vision of the NRM government. As a party, we are well aware of our journey where we started, where we are now, and where we are heading,” Namayanja said.
She highlighted the government’s accomplishments in areas such as road infrastructure, electricity expansion, and access to clean and safe water, particularly in urban areas.
“The Minister of Works and Transport, Gen. Katumba Wamala, has assured us that funds will be allocated in the next financial year to complete the Mityana–Mubende road,” she disclosed.
Namayanja also addressed the issue of land disputes, noting the government’s plan to protect tenants from eviction by compensating landlords.
