The NRM flag bearer for Wakiso chairmanship, Ian Kyeyune, and other party leaders have criticised the opposition for what they described as the failure of government programmes in the district.
Speaking to Bbeg Media on the sidelines of a Parish Development Model (PDM) verification and monitoring visit at Kiteezi Church of Uganda and Kasangati Town Council headquarters in Nangabo, the leaders urged residents to vote for NRM candidates in the 2026 general elections.
“We want to urge residents of Wakiso District to vote for our candidates to protect the gains of the Movement and help President Museveni get rid of corruption, sabotage, and the selfish interests of opposition leaders,” Kyeyune said.
Kyeyune, the former Wakiso LCV chairman, said he will focus on reconciliation, lobbying for clean water, better roads, improved schools and hospitals, and promoting social and economic development.
NRM parliamentary candidate for Kyadondo East, Christopher Talemwa, criticised incumbent MP Muwada Nkunyingi (NUP) for what he called “divisive and discriminatory statements” that distract from the real task of monitoring government programmes.
“People like Nkunyingi have nothing to offer their electorate. They should be voted out so that we can focus on improving livelihoods and service delivery,” Talemwa said.
Kasangati Deputy RDC Juma Kigongo thanked residents of Kiteezi and Nangabo for actively participating in PDM programmes despite what he called “misconduct by some leaders” in their enterprises.
He urged residents to re-elect President Museveni and all NRM flagbearers to improve service delivery in Wakiso District.
“During these PDM visits, we found that many residents are unaware of government allocations to service delivery programmes. We also received reports of corruption in hospitals where patients still have to buy gloves and cannulas despite the government allocating nearly Shs 46 million for medical supplies,” Kigongo said.
Josephine Kasaato, the head of women’s affairs at State House, cautioned youths against listening to opposition leaders, saying they only divert them from improving their lives.
The leaders’ remarks come as government officials continue to monitor and evaluate the implementation of the Parish Development Model (PDM), an initiative aimed at lifting Ugandans out of poverty.
