PDM Thiefs to Root in Prison


Fort Portal Media Men and Women interacting with the President.
President Yoweri Museveni issued the stern warning to government officials and local leaders accused of mismanaging the Parish Development Model (PDM) funds, and promised a nationwide crackdown to protect the poor and restore public confidence in the programme.

The President Made the call on Monday this week while Speaking to the media at Kabarole State Lodge in Fort Portal City, after he concluded the Rwenzori and Tooro campaign trail, Museveni said he had received overwhelming reports indicating that many intended beneficiaries were receiving less than the mandatory one million shillings.

He added that he had been gathering evidence through the PDM tours and his ongoing campaigns, with citizens reporting cases of fraud from across the country.

Museveni warned, citing reports of theft and irregularities emerging from Karugutu, Iganga, Maracha, and Entebbe, vowing to take decisive action once investigations conclude.

“I have my auditor. People have been complaining everywhere. If we get some cases investigated properly, we shall stop this,” he said bluntly.

The President did not mince words when addressing the alleged perpetrators, describing their actions as both reckless and arrogant.

“They are stupid; I don’t know why they think that we shall not know. Information will leak, and we will get them,” President Museveni said. “These thieves are stealing what was given publicly. It’s like the cheating we saw in the NRM primaries when people lined up during the day and were counted, and then someone gave the wrong results. It will stop.”

President Museveni assured the public that the government would enforce strict accountability measures and arrest commercial officers or other officials implicated in the theft. He pledged to recover the stolen funds.
