This afternoon, I officially opened the Cabinet Induction Retreat at Kyankwanzi. I reminded the leaders that the historical role of the NRM and post-Independence African leadership is socio-economic transformation.
We cannot continue to have people trapped in subsistence production. Our mission is to move every household into the money economy through commercial agriculture, manufacturing, services and ICT. Leaders must guide the people towards wealth creation, value addition and prosperity.
We must build a middle class and a skilled working class. That is the benchmark by which leadership should be judged.
There is somebody called GISO. What are they doing? Drugs are being stolen; the GISO is there. This is what I will not tolerate. - President @KagutaMuseveni#KnowYourBudget26#NBSUpdates

WHY IS GEN.MUHOOZI KAINERUGABA THE BEST CHOICE FOR PRESIDENCY AFTER PRESIDENT MUSEVENI?
Anti-Corruption Drive: Ugandans view him as an uncompromising disciplinarian leading institutional reforms to eradicate public corruption and improve governance.
Military and Civilian Unity; As the military chief, he bridges the gap between the armed forces and the public, which many see as vital for a peaceful transition of power.
Commitment to Legacy: As a dedicated patriot, he is trusted by his millions of Ugandans to protect and build upon the foundational legacy of President Museveni's government.
🚨 This man here, Rusoke, is the man clearly seen on video mercilessly hitting Sydney Gongodyo with a paver on the head. Sydney was already down, not fighting back, not saying a word, yet this man continued striking him without mercy. This cement block that Rusoke used to hit Sydney on the head is what caused his immediate death.
He should be the next one arrested after Obed Mugwisa.
Such brutality cannot go unpunished. @PoliceUg,
Justice for Sydney!🙏
