I thank the people of Omoro for the warm welcome they gave us today. I reminded them that the NRM is everywhere; East, West, North, and South, because it stands for good politics: the politics of unity and non-discrimination. Down with the politics of tribe and religion!
It is by this unity and discipline that Uganda has moved forward. Even God has been with the NRM. The British, who stayed here for decades, failed to discover our oil and gave up in 1956 , yet NRM came and found it. We shall now use this resource to ensure a qualitative leap into higher middle-income status.
I wish to salute the founding fathers of the Non-Aligned Movement who gave us a solid start in the fight against the influence of hegemony that emerged in the 1940s. Indeed, this failed approach to shared global prosperity was challenged in history (Catholicism in Europe, Metternich in Austria-Hungary, not to mention those who tried and succeeded temporarily in colonising us only for it to end badly for them).
Looking at the turnout and momentum under the theme of “Deepening Cooperation for Shared Global Prosperity”, I feel strongly, as a third-generation anti-colonial fighter from Africa, that we may be the hope of the world.
Gerald Malinga, a former Makerere University student who once hawked sponges to raise tuition, is among the Ugandans who have turned up at the Electoral Commission this morning to pick nomination forms for the 2026 presidential race. Malinga says his campaign will focus on poverty eradication, tackling food insecurity, and addressing youth unemployment. #MonitorUpdates
