This evening, on the fourth day of the ongoing retreat in Kyankwanzi, I addressed the newly elected NRM Members of Parliament on the budget priorities anchored in the NDP IV logic of full monetisation of our economy. These include wealth creation through PDM and Emyooga, value addition in agriculture, tourism and minerals (including oil and gas), the knowledge economy and STI, strategic infrastructure such as the railways and EACOP, reducing the cost of credit, strengthening revenue generation, cost-effective social services, support to the creative industry and AFCON preparations, as well as investment in the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area. I am glad that the Members continue to benefit from presentations by experts from different disciplines as we build a shared understanding of these priorities.

The prime Minister knows something the Speaker doesn't 🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🙌

This evening, I met the Members of Parliament-elect at the ongoing retreat in Kyankwanzi and listened to presentations by experts on personal financial management and wealth creation for leaders. We also discussed key national issues, including taxation and how to address them. I encouraged the members to be ideologically clear and always weigh their actions against principles. Many of the challenges we see, such as conflicts, cheating and bribery, are a result of ideological underdevelopment.

Today, I officially opened the Leaders’ Retreat for the newly elected NRM MPs and party-leaning Independents at the National Leadership Institute, Kyankwanzi. I congratulated them on their victory and the NRM’s strong performance and reminded them that we must address our weaknesses to do even better. I emphasised that they are now leaders who must deepen their understanding of ideology, philosophy and strategy in order to diagnose society’s problems and prescribe solutions. This generation must end poverty by creating prosperity through production, not begging or corruption. Every adult must earn from producing a good or a service. I look forward to the engagements of the week ahead.

This evening at Nakasero State Lodge, I welcomed H.E. Jakaya Kikwete, AU High Representative for the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea. We discussed the situation in South Sudan and emphasised the importance of dialogue among the parties. Uganda will continue supporting peace efforts as stability in South Sudan, especially in the Equatorial region where many Ugandans live, is important for regional security and prosperity.
