Embrace the four Pillars of transformation, Say President Museveni

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has called on Ugandans to embrace the four pillars of development namely:- peace, development, wealth creation, and free education as the foundation for transforming our communities and the country at large. 

The made this call while addressing a campaign Rally in Kitgum district, Kitgum Municipality the week, where he emphasized that the NRM government has brought peace and unity by rejecting the politics of tribe and religion. “The NRM has brought peace. 

It is not easy to create peace in a pre-industrial country. In underdeveloped countries, people are often confused about which question is right — politics of tribe or politics of interest,” President Museveni said. He noted that the foundation of Uganda’s peace was laid when the NRM refused to embrace sectarian politics. “The first thing that helped us achieve peace was that we did not accept the politics of sectarianism, religion, or tribe.

The NRM made it clear that we don’t care about your tribe or religion; what we care about is whether you know what to do. That is how we built a strong army,” he added. President Museveni said that after peace, the second priority for the NRM government has been development, particularly in building economic and social infrastructure. He pointed to the tarmac road from Olwiyo–Anaka–Kitgum, electricity extension from Lira to Lamwo up to the South Sudan border, and the railway from Tororo–Lira–Gulu–Pakwach as evidence of steady progress in Northern Uganda. 

 The President also commended the region’s progress in water access, noting that out of 686 rural villages, 572 now have access to safe water, representing 83% coverage, while efforts continue to connect the remaining villages. 

 He cautioned leaders and citizens against attempting to implement all development projects at once, advising them to prioritize strategically. “The problem is that people try to do everything at the same time. That is not how the NRA works. If you cannot do all things at the same time, ask yourself what comes first. For me, I recommend defense so that you are safe, then roads, electricity, and education. 

The rest can come after,” he said. President Museveni further listed ongoing road projects in the region, including the Gulu–Awere–Kochokilak–Patongo–Abim road, and plans to upgrade several Health Centre IIs to Health Centre IIIs in sub-counties across Kitgum and Lamwo districts.
